David, Steve and family I hate to hear Mrs. Tiebel is gone. But she lived a good happy long life here on this earth. I thought the world of her. She was not my teacher when I was at Hulbert but that is where I grew up and where I went to school for 6 years.
She may have been a little strict on us kids but she was also fair and good to us.
I am sorry I could not be with you all during the services due to my health. I have been praying for God's peace and comfort for you all.
God Is Good,
Linda G. Williams (Hulbert) (not even on the new maps anymore)

Hello
My name is Linda Thomas
My Mother, Jimmie Sadler James was Ms. Mary's first cousin.
Mary's mother & my mother's Mother were sisters. In fact, Mary was named after my grandmother, Mary Hamlet Sadler.
Ms. Mary & I spoke several times at Kroger, West Memphis, over the years.
I enjoyed our visits. I will miss her.
