NILES - Armeta E. Cordell, 83, of Bowman Street, passed away at 3:30 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 6, 2012, at her residence.
Mrs. Cordell was born Aug. 8, 1929, the daughter of Harold and Josephine Porter Lisdell, spending her lifetime in the area. The valedictorian of the class of 1947 at Mineral Ridge, she began her banking career immediately with the former Dollar Bank. She later became an assistant secretary and bank officer for Security Dollar Bank. At the age of 80, following 62 years of service, she retired from Farmers Bank where she made so many friends.
Armeta is survived by a daughter, Linda Lehman (Frederick "Rick") Huber, who was her comfort in the last days and with whom she had made her home; her only grandson and "the apple of her eye," Matthew Lehman of Niles; a sister-in-law, Carolyn Lisdell of Canfield, whom Armeta treated as a sister; several nieces and nephews; and her two great-grand puppies, Whiskers and Willow.
