You will be missed Aunt Ethel.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time. Marion County Senior Citizens.
I came to work today and it didn't seem the same not seeing this wonderful family come through the doors...I have come into contact with so many families but the Neff/Thorne family have truly left a lasting impression...one I will never forget...I enjoyed seeing Ethel everyday...I will remember her being pampered by her granddaughter Tammy from her ice cream car rides..to making sure her hair was in place. Her entire family came to celebrate her birthday in November and it was a grand occasion....to show just how much this family love her.. In closing, I pray God wraps his arms of grace and peace around all of you....Until you hold her hand again.....we will miss her....All my love...Sally Jane Plum Tygart Center
