KDKA-TV spoke with the woman's sister Tuesday night. She wanted to thank the people who made it possible for the money to be returned.

"Whoever turned the money in," she said, "God bless them. That was a really beautiful person, and you don't have that many beautiful people in this world like that, and I'm so happy."

Officials won't say how much money was found.
