YOUNGSTOWN - A Youngstown woman who was stuck in deep snow in her front yard was helped out by two people.

Youngstown resident Jeannalee Howard went outside to clear a path from her house on Shady Run Road to the street Sunday afternoon when she hit a patch of hard snow at the end of her driveway that caused her to fall backward into a snowpile.

"The more that I struggled to get up, the deeper I went into the snow," she said.

Howards says several cars drove past her as she struggled in waist-deep snow.

Boardman resident Deborah Barker says she was a passenger in her friend Jeff's truck as they took a wrong turn down Shady Run Road when they noticed Howard.

"I thought there was a little kid in the snow playing little snow angels or something," she said.

Barker and her friend pulled over to help after they realized Howard was stuck.

After an unsuccessful attempt to pull Howard out, the two used a shovel to clear a path for her before they brought her to their truck and called an ambulance.

Howard says she suffered minor injuries and did not require medical assistance. She adds that the paramedics helped her to her door.

"I just wanna tell people, if you see something, act on it, help them, cause she needed help, and I'm glad I was there to help her," she said.

Howard says she is grateful for Deborah's and Jeff's help.

"Love and caring for another human being, that's what this world really comes down to," she said.

Howard adds that she is grateful for the paramedics who looked at her after she was pulled out.
