Amazing how people, even in times when they weren't normally sociably accepted, were loved by many. Definitely sounds like a great life lived and glad to hear the community paid due respect so long after her passing.

As an Undertaker, I love stuff like this. Sounds like an awesome person. Would have liked to sit in her presence and have a bowl.

That's a nice gesture they did for her....

One thing I noticed was the article said she always had her pipe and

if you take note her age was 93 when she died.

Another long lived pipe smoker! ::

Glad you all enjoyed the article as I did. I am fortunate to reside in a great community. There is a lot of history here that dates back to the Revolutionary War period. We are also blessed with a beautiful scenic environment on Long Island Sound and we are home to the State University of New York campus at Stony Brook with a major medical center and much culture. Most of the residents of this community are appreciative of our blessings here.

Great article. Sounds like someone you just had to stop and talk with or just smoked a bowl with.
