always felt Oleta was born before her time, being such a strong, hard working, independent, fun, blunt, outspoken woman. I grew up several years as a child her neighbor in Redway, & worked with her some as a adult at the Roadrunner. She was truely one of a kind, and I always liked her very much. My thoughts are with the family. Marty Lankford Mangrum
