A Sad Goodbye to Dorothy Ashby, Librarian

Long time resident Dorothy Ashby passed away on Feb. 4. Her memorial service was last Sunday, Feb. 19. She was a librarian at our very own building when it was the library, then she worked at La Habra High School for many years as the librarian. We currently have a side exhibit of her collection in tribute to her. There is a wonderful videography of Dorothy Ashby available at the museum's theater.

Thank you, Dorothy, for your many years of service to La Habra. We will miss your friendly smile.
