Dow brought personalities to life

Letters to the Editor

 

Last updated 8/4/2016 at 8:31am



Luella Dow was an amazingly large lady in a tiny body. As reported last week, she told the stories of many who would have otherwise gone unnoticed through her Cheney Free Press column “Of Cabbages and Kings.”

Her warm, friendly writing style brought personalities to life on the written page. But her presence in the community did not end there. She was a long-time member of Tyler Grange 610 and continued to support that organization even as membership and participation dwindled.

While Luella made it clear she did not attend meetings, she put her considerable talents to work where they helped the most. Prior to the events, she would devote her column to the Harvest Dinner, the Firemen’s Breakfast and the Tyler Daze Flea Market.

Luella found a way to shine a fresh light on these recurring events and played a large role in their success. She also graciously agreed to play “God Bless America” each year to open the Harvest Dinner for the members of the Tyler Community. Luella, we were honored to know you and call you friend.

Lyle and Alice Polack
