Good Neighbor

Willamae Shuler

I would like to nominate Willamae Shuler for the good neighbor award. I live across the road from her and see all she does for many people. She is always willing to feed our animals, water the flowers and lawn when we are gone. She has helped me clean, paint and wallpaper a trailer for our daughter to live in and when we bought a mountain cabin, she came up and helped me wash walls down and clean the place to sparkling clean. I can’t mention how many nice things she has done for our family. I’ve known her to get up at the wee hours of morning to take a friend to Billings to meet the plane. She takes friends to Billings to visit the doctor. She will stay with or check in on a sick spouse when the friend has to go some place or run errands. She takes another friend to Thermopolis every year to decorate graves before Memorial Day. She donates many hours to her church and is just a good all around person.
