        Our little Community is sad to hear of the passing of Kaye Hileman, with her family by her side, late last Friday night Dec. 30. Kaye was a long time resident and community leader. Kaye hasn’t been active for a while now, but years ago on every Wednesday Kaye would have her sewing and knitting club at the community center and teach poor folk like me how to stitch up their britches. Sometimes I would drop by Kaye’s home on the way to get my mail and we’d sit in the kitchen drinking coffee. Kaye with her ever-present cigarette was a well of knowledge and would empty buckets full about the folks and the goings on in our community, while her little dog yapped at us. We will miss Kaye much!
