She shared with practically everyone she met how much she enjoyed being an Air Force wife, and how willingly she would do it all again – as long as she and Willie were together.After Willie retired from the Air Force, as a Lieutenant Colonel, he and Polly started their own business, known as C&C Supply Company, Inc. They operated their successful firm for another twenty years, retiring for the final time in 1998.Following their retirement, Polly and Willie set off on continual adventures, making lifelong memories, almost exclusively centered around family or church activities. These memories will never fade from the minds of those who were blessed to share them.There is not a person who had the honor and privilege of knowing Polly, who came away untouched by her love. She continually put the needs of others above her own, from the time that she rose in the morning, until the time she laid her head on the pillow at night. Her beautiful smile was infectious, and she immediately lit up any room that she entered. Her selfless spirit was a gift from above, and deeply impacted countless lives.Polly was a strong Christian, whose love for her family was eclipsed only by her love for Jesus. She is, and always will be, a cherished wife, a beloved mother, a nurturing Meemaw, and an adored friend.Friends are cordially invited to a visitation with the family from five o'clock this afternoon until seven o'clock this evening, Wednesday, the 14th of December, in the parlor and grand foyer of Geo.
