Onalees family: My husband lived in the country and rode the bus to school with Onalee. She was 3/4 yrs older than John. He remembers that as a real little guy he was being picked on by a big boy on the bus. Onalee noticed and grabbed him up and placed him in the window seat beside her. He was able to ride the bus in safety,thanks to her kind heart. Recently when I would walk by her house I would stop and visit while she pulled weeds from her yard. I could tell she had always been a hard worker. She will be missed in the neighborhood. Good memories of a good woman.
