Otha L. Overholt

May the God she worshiped accept her with open arms. Alison (coworker at Washington University)

Thinking about Aunt Otha these past several days...remembering when Uncle Roy introduced her to our family...then how excited I was that they asked me to play piano for their wedding so many years ago...remembering many fun times having them & my cousins,John & James, come to our house for holidays & joining them, too, at their house in Kirkwood. Otha was always kind to us & I knew how much she loved Roy & her sons. Keeping you in prayer, James, John & Kris.

Otha was my immediate supervisor at Washington University for several years. She allowed me to work from home 2 or 3 days a week because I could not drive and the bus schedule was being cut. I remember when she and Mr. Overholt came all the way to Florissant when my father passeed.

James, the Overholt family are in my morning prayers.

John, I remember from high school how proud you were of your mom and her thirst for knowledge and accomplishments. It was clear in how you spoke of her. I do remember thinking that she must have had another time dimension that no one else had, because she was a great mom and did everything else, too. My thoughts are with you, Kris and James. Tim and I send hugs.

My Aunt Otha was a kind,loving wife, mother, and aunt. I have many wonderful memories of holidays spent with Roy, Otha, John & James when we were growing up. I remember the day Roy & Otha were married and then, how happy they were to welcome their sons into the world. I am blessed to have known you, Otha.
