Man that girl could dance! Always glamorous and larger than life, I suspect she's dancing among the stars now to Alley Cat, smiling. She will be missed. What is remembered lives.

She always had a smile and was always interested in what was going on in your life. She was a wonderful grandmother to my children. She will be missed.

We all loved to visit Grandma O and Grandpa Harlan during the summers! Our boys, as well as Mark and I, have such wonderful memories of spending family time on the shore of Lake Bella Vista- picnicing on the back porch, jumping off the dock, fishing in the lake…. Grandma, we will miss your caring nature and gentle laugh. Rest Easy. Love, Mark, Karey, Noah and Evan <3
