During my 30 years teaching, I could always count on Hallie to open up the D.U.P. building or find me someone who could. The kids each had a turn ringing the bell, which was the highlight of the visit,and brought smiles to adults as well as the children.- David and Linda WarnerI was so sorry to see that Hallie passed away. I will never forget her kind welcome when I called her out of the blue and told her I was new to town and looking for an artist named "R. Tibbits". She invited me to her home where I met her and her husband Bob, then then showed me a good sample of her son's wonderful paintings. (I later bought several.) Her warmth and graciousness will never be forgotten. Love to all her family members and friends. - Kris Westrum Photo Gallery - Click a Picture For Enlarged Slide Show Printable Page Add Picture Add Tribute/Condolence PLEASE NOTE: Pictures and Tributes will be reviewed before being posted.
