WHO REMEMBERS BABE OUIMETTE?

Does anyone remember a woman in the cafeteria named Babe Quimette? I think she was at H/R the whole time we were there. There was a very sweet article about her in the Salem News this week after her death earlier in the month. Apparently she was married during WWII and she and her husband planned on living out their perfect life in Danvers. Unfortunately, he left for the war shortly after their marriage and was killed. She came here to Danvers to live and had many remembrances to him all over town even though he had never spent a day here. Because they never found his body, she always believed he would return to her here in Danvers. Right before she died she decided that he probably was never coming. She loved him until the very end. I guess we never know the back stories of those who move in and out of our lives.
