Praying for the family during this time. I worked across from Mildred and Judy when I joined Planters. Their smiles and joy every day was infectious. She will be missed by her friends and family.
Thank you, Jon! I remember those days – they were great. You were my first best friend!
Growing up in Rocky Mount, I feel like I was over at the Felton’s house almost as much as my parent’s house. Mark was the best of friends and Mrs. Felton was like a second mom. Loved her a lot! – Jonathan Ratchford
