We were very sad when we heard the news of Earla's passing. She was a wonderful grandma to Quentin and Clara.

I wanted to express my condolences and deep sympathy to Earla’s family. Earla and I worked together at McKesson Automation many years ago. She was very kind and professional. We will keep you and Earla in our prayers.

The world was a much better place with Earla in it! Those of us who were fortunate enough to know her, will always carry a special place in our hearts for her and the memory of what a remarkable person she was. My sincerest sympathy to Jim and all her family. ❤😔

Jim, I am sorry you and Earla did not get to spend more retirement time together. She was a wonderful, peaceful, intelligent woman who always had something nice to say. I had the pleasure of hearing her in concert a few times and could tell she had such passion for music.
Jaime and Jen, you were so fortunate to have Earla for a mom. Her generosity in fostering other children who needed a home was just another great thing about her.
Heaven must have needed another angel for she is sure to get her wings!
My deepest sympathies to all of you

Even though I never met her I could tell she made my brother happy. It doesn't get any better than that. Prayers for the family at this time.

Earla and I were great friends during our Hillsdale College days, but upon graduation and “life” we lost track of one another. However, due to Facebook we reconnected and I so enjoyed the family photos and seeing her dear face. I will always remember her as a kind and beautiful person and an amazing free spirit.

Earla was the best kind of neighbor and friend. I remember my first visit to my new house to measure for drapes and Earla was outside. She called over a welcome to the neighborhood greeting. She then gave me phone numbers to handymen and info you need coming into a new area. Whether she was showing me how to hook up my cable or giving me USB cords she always was right there to help you out. We always knew if we ran short of eggs or sugar one of us would have extra. You hear all the time people say, " oh she was special". Earla was truly one of the finest, and special people I knew and will be forever missed. My love and condolences to Jim and Earl's family.

I only met Earla a few times, but from the first moment you met her, you knew she was special. I enjoyed her company each time we were together. God bless her and keep her, and blessings to her husband and family.

Oh my goodness! I just received a call from a friend regarding Earla. So sad! I had no idea Earla was sick. I last spoke with Earla in March.
Earla was special and we enjoyed good times as single neighbors and escapades to Germany, Austria and Switzerland as well as local trips.
What a wonderful and compassionate lady. I was so happy that she and Jim found one another. What soulmates!
Praying for Jim and family.

I worked with Earla at DDI. She was a trusted friend- always supportive and kind. Although our paths led us in different directions, I count her as a forever friend and send her family my deepest sympathy and heartfelt prayers. May God comfort you in your time of sorrow.

Earla was such a kind and lovely lady and taken from this world too soon. She worked so hard to support The South Hills Chorale in many valuable and dedicated ways beyond her beautiful singing. I send prayers of deep peace to Jim and her loved ones as they mourn such a loss. I feel richer having known her.
