To the family of Ty. I met Ty working at Sprague Electric. I ran the bus trips that Ty loved to go on. She was the 1st to sign up and the last to get back on the bus. She never could find the bus. She was a sweet and fun person I'm glad I had the honor of knowing her. I have many fond memories of Ty. The bus trips wouldn't have been so fun without her.

Dear Linda, Diane and Carol, I am sorry to hear about your mom. I have nothing but great memories growing up on Winter Street across from your family, playing in the yard, swimming in the wading pool - just being kids in that great neighborhood. Ty was a special friend to my Mom for many years; she was always a lot of fun, and always there for our family in good times and bad. She will be missed by many. Sending love and my condolences.

I just want to say one of the best things my Shari Gave to me was the wonderful pleasure of meeting her Aunt Ty, for me she exudes the qualities that a decent, Loving, and caring woman can only do, she shared it with us in her humbling way she had about her. I only new her for a few years now but being who she was it felt like it was much longer. After every visit I always felt good about everything, what a wonderful woman!! My heart felt condolences to her family and friends.

My sincerest consonances to Ty’s family. I worked with Ty at Sprague. Ty was a warm, fun loving person who loved to laugh. Sprague would plan bus trips to New York City at Christmas time; the main event was the Christmas show at Radio City Music Hall. Ty was always 1st in line to sign up. We had so much fun! We stayed over-night, and Ty would shop, shop shop… I’m thankful and blessed to have known her, she was a wonderful lady.
