Although I hadn’t seen Dolly in years, I remember her fondly. We were fellow band members and enjoyed those times together. My thoughts go to her loved ones.

Dolly (affectionately known as Aunt AAH-EE to me since I could not pronounce her name when I was a toddler) will be sadly missed. My fond memories include many Christmases at our house (with Dolly, Maureen, Nanny Miller, and Nan & Pap Huff), summer picnics at the river cottage in Foul Rift (with the Millers, Huff’s, and Ealeys) and annual beach trips to Brigantine, NJ (with Aunt Grace). We send our love from WV. God rest her soul and may you find comfort in family & friends.
