I came across this on the HHS memorial page on Facebook and wondered if I knew her. I read on, and discovered that, Yes, I not only knew her, she babysat me and my brother, Nick, in the 1950s as we lived just a few houses away. (We must have been terrors!) We knew her as Sissy, and her brother as Buddy... and their dog, Lucky. We moved to Santa Fe when I graduated HS. My brother, Nick, was killed in a plane crash in 1984.
If I remember correctly, Jimmy and Ethel owned an ice cream shop or something similar on North 4th Street...? That was before we all moved to the SE Heights because our fathers worked at AEC on Sandia Base.
I'm glad to know more about Sissy, and how her life turned out. I have such good memories of her.
Sincere condolences,
