I remember Aunt Ursula coming to Mobile to help us with her expertise in having a yard sale. She was thrilled to be involved with such a huge undertaking. She brought home some of the things to sell at her home flea market. She was definitely in her element with all those “treasures”…
Must be she was one too!

New Years just wasn’t the same without Ursula and our plans for it was the last thing I talked about with her. I miss her visits and working with her at SERC. Keeping her family in my thoughts and prayers.

I knew Ursula as a co-volunteer at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center in Edgewater. She was always such a friendly, kind, interested and interesting person! She loved teaching school groups about oysters and crabs. She adored interesting jewelry and used to tell me about the jewelry shows she attended. My sincere condolences to Andy and all of her family and close friends. I miss her.
