So sorry for her passing. I’ll be praying for all the family. If y’all are ever in the Charlotte area, give me a call. It’s been a long time we last saw you. May the Lord wrap his arms around you with his love. Jim Irwin

I remember Mrs Bundy when she worked at the credit union. She is the lady that I always asked for when I needed help. She had a beautiful smiling face and always went out of her way to make her clients happy.

Barb and Judi,
I was so fortunate to get to know your family thru Carol (who C.K. and Oveeda called their dark haired daughter)
and i am so sorry to hear of Oveeda's passing.
What a wonderful family it was and all of you have left some precious memories in the lives of others.
We may have gone our separate ways, but i will always have a special place in my heart for the Bundy family!
May God give you comfort and peace as you grieve your mothers passing.

Judy and Barbara, our deepest condolences. Your Mother was like a second mom to myself and my sisters in the neighborhood. We have only cherished memories of your Mother and family. All our love in these hard times. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Where to start. I knew Margaret and Barbara from Riverview, but didn't meet Oveeda until 1962 when I opened my Florida Telco account. Right away, we became friends and I found we had a "family" connection. My cousin, Florita, is married to C.K.'s brother. Oveeda was always such a friendly, smiling lady, and so sweet to everyone. I've really missed seeing her since I retired. I know you girls will miss her, but heaven is even richer for her presence.

I met this beautiful sweet lady in July 1955 when I was employed by Florida Telco Credit Union. That was the beginning of a 65 year friendship. We shared many lunches at Stan N Snack, Morrisons and Lebs downtown Jacksonville. Those were fun days and memories. But the lasting memory was the love and devotion that Oveeda and C. K. had for each other (72 Years of marriage-what a record) and that love extended to their family , friends and their church. We will miss Oveeda but...
