    Erma had a nice long life….she was a fun person and will be missed! I enjoyed seeing her and Bud at the Gun Club when I would visit Honeoye – they were both pillars of the community. Heartfelt condolences to all the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

    Erna always had such a heart of gold. She was a kind lady who I will always remember with fondness. I specifically was touched by how caring and supportive she was to all the sports teams. We would always be so happy to see that she was our driver to sporting events.
    One year she even baked a birthday cake for me when we had an away game.. heaven certainly gained an angel with her 😇
    My sincere condolences to all of the Plain Family. She was a beautiful soul, may she rest in peace.

    I only met Erna and Bud a few times, but greatfully visited with Erna last July at The Highlands of Pittsford. I knew her mostly thru my husband Skip, sister Jean and granddaughter Jeanine. Erna was truly loved and admired and I consider it an honor to have known her!

  17. Vivian Kurdt on July 27, 2017 at 3:50 pm

    Sorry to hear of your loss. Seventy years ago, Erna, my cousin, watched me and my siblings while my mother worked. Rest in peace Erna.

    Erna was a mother to so many of us that road her bus. She dished out love and told you like it was at the same time. If she felt you needed a kick in the backside she would do that too. I never remember any of the kids on the bus acting out…we were to scared too. From the Pierpont, Green and Buckelew gang we will miss you. From the Fisher’s we send out love to her family and thank you for sharing her with us.
    Debbie, Donna, Dianne, Darlene, Dawn, Denise, David Fisher.

    So sorry for your loss. May the memories you hold in your heart bring healing and peace to your family.

    Mrs Plain was the first person I saw when I boarded the bus for kindergarten. And for years she was always grandmotherly, funny, and I felt like I was part of her family. It saddens me today to learn of her passing. My heart goes out to her family.

  21. Raphael cratsley on October 8, 2018 at 10:22 pm

    I miss her often she was truly a grandmother to me for a long time. I miss Floyd also. But just to do a spell check it’s Devan cratsley and Haylee cratsley are my kids correct names. Hope you’ve been resting in piece my dear.
