  Oleta was a devoted Christian, loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She worked in the church nursery at Eureka Baptist Church for many years.

  She loved being with her family, and cooking. Oleta may be best remembered for her dishes she would make for Willard to take to his deer leases, where he was once told he could not be on the lease unless he brought her marshmallow brownies.

  Our family has so many beautiful and wonderful memories of her, she will be missed dearly by all that knew her.
