I'm so sorry to hear this! Lola and I worked at the Astoria Care Center, and she was an election judge for our area when we lived by Isaac Walton Campground...she was so funny, and a hoot to be around, and she always had something comical to say, whenever I ran into her before we moved to Bushnell...we were good friends, and there will never be another like her... I'm sure she will be missed greatly by those friends she was close to and her family. Please accept Butch and I's condolences...LaRita Maloney
