Polly, as everyone would call her was a wonderful daughter, sister, friend, wife, mother, auntie, grandma, great grandma, and great great grandma. She loved everyone, and everyone loved her. She was beautiful, feisty, and outgoing. Polly’s smile was warm and kind, always offering words of encouragement, a hot meal, and a warm bed to anyone who needed it. She touched many lives with goodness. Polly loved her family with everything she had and was extremely proud of each of her children. She is well known for her love of animals, reading and doing puzzles.
