Betty Kathryn Wirt, 87, died on Tuesday, March 11, 2014 at 9:05 p.m. at the Mennonite Memorial Home, Bluffton.
She was born on April 2, 1926 in Pittsburgh, Pa., to William and Elizabeth (Hasson) Knox and they preceded her in death. On May 15, 1946 she married Merle E. Wirt and he died on November 1, 2010.
In the meantime, we are shoveling snow from our driveways and sidewalks. We are canceling events and wondering if winter will end.
Here's a photo essay of what we hope is winter's last blast in Bluffton. The photos offer a combination nasty winter photos plus an artistic look at winter. The photos were taken during the height of the March 12 snow.
Please give the photo collection a moment to open.
Did we dream Wednesday's nasty weather? At the height of Wednesday's blowing snows, The Icon drove around Bluffton photographing what we hope is winter's last blast. We discovered some interesting views. This one is on Jackson Street in front of the middle school. Click here for more snow shots as we bid farewell to a winter that we'll put in the books, and would like to forget.
