I would love to use her scissors in her memory, but if they can't be productive tools, I really don't have room to just store them.
If they can't be salvaged, I would just keep one pair in her memory and discard the others. There are 5 pair all together.
I would use some of them in a shadow box with a sewing theme fabric in the back ground or doily may be even add a thimble or a spool of thread or even put a picture of your sister in the shadow. Just a thought. It would be something you could remember her by and hang up in your sewing room out of the way. If she has kids you could make a couple of them as gifts.
