Bus driver remembered for faith, character
RED CLOUD — There was standing room only in the small church here where family and friends gathered to honor a woman who never threw away anything she could use and always let the Lord guide her life.
Marla Wentworth, 59, was the driver of the Blue Hill school bus that collided with a semitrailer Wednesday, killing two students and the two drivers.
On Monday, it wasn’t the accident but the woman, her hobbies, her character and her faith that were the topics for discussion during the service at the Revival Tabernacle Church.
“She aimed to improve things wherever she was,” said Jeannie Sutton, friend and co-worker at the Village Pharmacy in Red Cloud. “She would recycle, repurpose and reuse things that others found useless. She had a reason for doing things her own way even if we couldn’t see it.”
