Salt of the earth generally has come to mean “an individual or group considered as representative of the best or noblest elements of society.” Chester and Lea were truly "salt of the earth". I shall always remember her kindness and great good humor and the love and attention she gave to everyone and especially to my grandmother Chester's aunt Lillie Crenshaw and my mother Chester's cousin Ethel Bright. I am thinking of all the cousins when I think of Lea. They are just good people. My mind is with them as they remember and celebrate Lea's Life.

I will always remember her smile which she always seemed to have everytime I seen her. She always greeted you and was so welcoming to her home whether it was some of her delicious cooking, card games or just conversation. She was a Grandma to all of us kids as we grew up. I will always treasure those times .Miss you Ms. Rothhammer

Twenty years ago, when I met Lea Rothhammer, we hit it off right away. Two years later, God blessed me when I joined the family. I gained a bonus grandma—such a beautiful woman who took pride in how she looked, well dressed with pretty jewelry. She was resilient and independent and a little stubborn. LOL! I have heard almost all her stories. When we go somewhere, we also went down memory lane. She would start talking about so-in-so-lived over there, or we picked wild onions down there. She wrote cards and letters to everyone, birthday, Christmas, anniversaries, and Thank you cards. She was always willing to lend a hand. What could she do to help? Even when it was our turn to take care of her. I can hear her say, "Let's go get something good to eat." She had the best humor; she always had jokes to tell. I enjoyed it when we would go to the family reunions with her. After five minutes with her siblings and cousins, they were all laughing. They would feed off of each other, and laughter would erupt from them all. She loved her family. She was proud of her Cherokee heritage. I would hear her say I am F B I -Full Blooded Indian, then laugh. Truly a blessing to all who knew her. We will miss you fiercely, Gma. Until we meet again, We love you!
