A treasured quilt was recovered after a devastating EF-4 tornado roared through the Shoal Creek Valley. While the family was thrilled to discover the quilt had been found 15 miles away, the reunion was bittersweet.
The quilt, belonging to Netty Wolfe, was recovered with the help of a Facebook page dedicated to finding items after the storm.
Unfortunately, Netty and her husband of 50-years, Charlie, didn't live to see its recovery as both were killed in the April 27 storm.
The quilt was made by Netty's mother, Lila Mae Bishop, and was packed away as it held such sentimental value for Netty when her mother passed. The quilt was probably in a cedar chest when the storm hit and in reality should probably have been torn to shreds, but that's not what happened.
Their granddaughter, Crissy Wolfe Haynes had found it next to impossible to piece the family's lives back together and had no hope for finding valuable family belongings, until she spotted a picture of the quilt on a Facebook page.
