ELIZABETH J. SHELDON

Elizabeth J. Sheldon, 84, Thompson, PA, passed away Sunday, October 28, 2007, in the afternoon at home.

Her warmth, genuine concern for people and the unassuming way in which she shared her knowledge and experience made many who knew her feel she was their second mother. She loved attending her grandsons’ baseball games.
