The Loss Of Another Great Vol's Fan

Ernestine Schnell, who was 91 years old passed away late Friday morning from complications stemming from a recent fall.

She and Raymond are some of the most dedicated and enthusiastic members of the Birmingham Big Orange and I am sure you will agree that we will miss her presence and always smiling face at future club meetings.

Family visitation is tonight, Monday June 16th from 6 to 8pm at Rideout Valley Chapel with graveside services at 10 am Tuesday at Elmwood cemetery.

Should you wish to send a note to Mrs.Schnell's husband, his information is below.
