"It is certainly alarming that the sweetest kindest person you could ever meet, somebody who did some much for our community. She fed the homeless regularly.
"She was quite an active and vocal member of the greater Glenwood area. To have this happen to her is really heartbreaking and has shaken up a lot of people in our community.
"I believe she has been living for over 20 years on the property and it was a B&B that she had converted it into."
