Etta Jean graduated from Oolitic High School in 1946, with my Dad, Harvey P. Jeffries, my Aunt Irene Jeffries Piper, and my Uncle Gerald E. ("Bud") Hillenburg. Both Etta Jean & I grew up in Oolitic, and we knew a lot of the same people.
In 1964, she was instrumental in my being hired at Indiana Bell Telephone Company. In the 1970's, Etta Jean and I both were transferred to Bloomington and we rode to work together for several years.
She was like extended family, not only to me, but to all my family, and she was a friend to everyone.
In many ways, she was one of the most loving, compassionate, and generous people I've ever known.
She was a hard worker, and loved her family with all her heart. She was so proud of her family and really treasured the time she could be with them.
She taught me a lot, not only about our jobs, our town of Oolitic, but also about humanity and life. It was a true blessing to have known her, and I am very grateful to have spent so many hours in her presence.
My thoughts and prayers are with all the family.
