Aunt Lady was the embodiment of grace and strength-a woman who lived with intention. She appreciated the little things, and made each one meaningful. Whether it was the way a table was set, a handwritten note, or the perfect pair of shoes, she brought elegance and thoughtfulness to all she did. Her grits were legendary and her gingerbread waffles filled your heart as well as your tummy. She was fierce with a deck of cards in her hand. Whether it was bridge, Phase 10 or gin she won more often than not, but even when she beat you hands down, you loved every second of it. Miss you and love you!

David, Scott and Stephen I don´t know if you will remember me, but we lived one house down from you in Huntington Woods and I was your babysitter for many years. Your parents were the best. I love them both so much and y´all were always a lot of fun and great boys to be around. My heart breaks for all of you and I´m thinking of you in this time of sorrow I live in Birmingham, Alabama now so I will not be able to attend the service, but I will be thinking of all of you.

I´ll always remember her smile. She had an infectious laugh that I remember hearing playing cards with the family as a kid. She was always supportive and kind but radiated a strength that could be intimidating; but no one on this planet was more deserving of the title Lady. Addison and I love you and will miss you.

Memories of the good times with the Charleston Symphony Orchestra League-there was Marion Schools in the center of all of the joyful activities as she and the Schools' family supported the Charleston Symphony and Music Scholarships. She was our mentor. May she rest in peace. Julie and John Fenimore
