Sissie, You were such a great lady and friend. No pretense in our conversations. Always honest and usually very funny. One time in team tennis we were partners way over at Tuscawilla on a very hot day. You had extra shirts in your tennis bag and since there was not a dry spot on our clothes, at one switch over you pulled out a nice dry shirt and changed right there! Pretty funny and your great little chuckle afterward I have never forgotten how great it was calling you my friend. Donna Potter

I am still having a hard time thinking she will no longer be there for fun travels, plays, and visits we had planned to the panhandle, plus every day on the internet! We shared so many good and some not-so-good times through the years but loved every minute of raising our Eustis High School children at the same time. Sissie was my roommate just a year ago on a girls trip to Panama Canal. We had so much fun reliving some of those great times praising how our children and their friends all grew up to be the great parents they are. Surely we did something right! RIP my friend and we will meet again . Love to your beautiful family. Sandy and Carl Pettitt

DeeDee and Tammie, I was so sorry to learn of your mother’s passing. She was one of the friendliest and most welcoming persons I met when my family moved to Eustis.
That same warmth was felt with every chance encounter I had with her in town for the last 45 years. Whether it was an inquiry about some real estate or crossing path while shopping in town. To my surprise, she always recognized me. I recall a visit with her as a Poll Volunteer a few years ago. There was no line behind me and she caught me up on your families in just a few short minutes. She was a great woman and so proud of both of you!
While she is looking down from above and no longer physically with us, please know her fond memories and her warmth will live on forever!

My heart is heavy with the news of "Sissy" leaving this world. Our world my have lost a bright light but there is a new star in the heavens to shine bright and light our path. My memory of "mom" was her generosity and kindness towards me when I needed it most. She took me in like a son, provided for me and was a foster mom to me. My father had passed and my mom was very ill. Sissy fed me, made sure I had someone to talk to and even gave me work around the yard so I could have some money. Then when my mom improved and the two met she was such a great encouragement to my mom. Telling her what a fine son she had. It helped my mom in her recovery. In my high school years very few people impacted me as positively as Sissy. It was just her nature to be kind, generous and a witness to her faith. My deepest sympathy to all her family and friends who have to temporarily say "see you later" to one of the best ever to grace our lives. A special I miss you & love you to both Dee Dee and Tammy. You have my prayers during this time of grief. Your mom touched us all in such a loving and positive way.

My condolences to you, Janelle, and others of the Kirkland family. I grew up in Eustis and was one year ahead of Sissie at EHG, graduating in 1954. May the Lord bless you and comfort you.

I loved this woman with all my heart. She wasn’t just a Girl Scout leader, she taught us life skills and to think before we acted. (At least tried!)
We could always count on Sissie for the great Class of ‘78! Whether it was building the class float, putting together skits, or anything else that was need to make or Class # 1 in high school competitions, Sissie was with us!
She loved her daughters and all of her daughters’ friends and we all knew it.
All this being said, she was an outstanding role model for all of us on how to be a great MOM!
Love you Sissie, DeeDee and Tammy
