NOTES : Hattie Preston was a family friend; she worked with and later lived upstairs from Aunt Virgy.

One of my first memories of her was when she came to a party with a large ice cream bucket filled with Brandy Slush.

Hattie shared many family holidays with us.

Many a time she would surprise us with a difficult Trivial Pursuit answer.

She was an avid crafter like me.

I think the saddest memory of her was when she had her stroke and was no longer able to do her crafts.

I still have a counted cross stitch light switch cover she made.
