Oleta was a one-of-a-kind lady and I was privileged to know her and serve with her on the Altar Guild of St. John's in Fort Worth. She was truly a special friend. My prayers and sympathy to her family.

To the family of Oleeta Keen,
I had the pleasure of knowing Oleeta for the past few years. She was a wonderful lady, and very kind and caring for those residents at University Place. She was an amazing conversationalist. Oleeta and I shared communion from time to time on Sunday afternoons. I will miss her.
Please accept my sympathy.
