Okeh Jean Bird

Sweetest person in our class. CHS Class of 57.

Her big smile.

Aunt Jeanie first thing I want to say is how much I Love You. I'm going to miss our calls and text messages, sending each other pictures of our great grandsons. After every call or text you would say "I love you" and once told me I was more like a sister to you than a niece and I felt the same way. My deepest sympathy to your children and your friends and so sadly for the last time I say "I Love you Aunt Jeanie".....Phyllis Henninger and Rick Henninger

Okeh was such a delightful and beautiful soul. I can't remember if I ever had a conversation with Okeh where I wasn't lifted up and nourished by her emotion and her positive outlook on life. She touched all that were in her life. Okeh - I will miss you and I regret not getting to say a proper good bye. I look forward to saying hello again and giving you a BIG HUG. Much love to you. And to Jamie, Kevin and Brenda - I hope you are doing OK. I once read that "Grief is love with nowhere to go."...

We always enjoyed chatting with Jean and Calvin in the hallway at Colonial Heights Baptist Church. What a sweet woman Jean was! We are remembering the family prayer.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

We were in the same church family with Jean. What a beautiful lady and always had a smile and a kind word. Our children were friends and I will never forget her friendship to our family. We will certainly miss her and Calvin. Prayers and comfort for all the family. Charles and Pat Sproles

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Always loved spending time with maw maw and Aunt Jeannie, in Kingsport TN. Going to miss you both.
