Your mom/grandma was known to a great number of people & a friend all. She will be greatly missed by all of us. She was a super lady & always friendly. I knew her for 50 years -- shopping at her store and just stopping in for a visit. We loved her and cherished her advice. You have our sincere sympathy at this time and pray God's comfort along with all your memories will carry you through the difficult days.

I have such fond memories of shopping at Polly's with my Mom.."Just take it home and try it on...bring it back if it doesnt work out" Stores of today could take a lesson from Polly! She was a sweet lady with a wonderful smile. Prayers to all of you! Kathy Shanley Petfield

It was so much fun shopping at "Polly's" with my sister and Mom, as I was growing up in South Haven. Polly was always happy to see us, and had a tremendous smile. May the Lord hold you all in His loving arms, especially as you mourn the loss of a fantastic lady. Indeed, she really did keep the women of South Haven dressed beautifully. Our prayers and thoughts are with you, the whole family.
