I only met Mable a few times, but her character and true legacy is reflected in the wonderful family she leaves behind. When my son, Brent, married into the Holmes family, Mable was one of the first persons to welcome him with open arms. He loved her dearly, and reminded him of his own grandma who had passed several years earlier. From what I hear, Mable was a pretty cool lady, and I’m glad that my son had the opportunity to share a small part of her life. Your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs to all…

Lou, Lindy, I was so surprised when I saw this. I knew she wasn’t in the best of health when we had lunch in Nov. I am so sorry for your loss. Had some years knowing her and working with her at DeLanos. I really looked forward to our DeLano girls lunches. Prayers go out to you and your family. She will be dearly missed. Joyce
