Opal Allen Obituary
Mrs. Opal M. Allen was born to Vera L and Willie Bennett May 6, in Limestone County, Texas. Mom never cared for anyone outside of the family to know how old she was, so it is with this acknowledgment that we omit it. We can say, however, Mom made the best use of her dash!

Dear Alma: I'm so sorry to read about the loss of your mother. I remember Opal and you very vividly and really liked you two so very much. My years at San Angelo Central H.S. are filled with many memories and especially of you spending so much time with me in the Counseling Center after school while waiting for your Mom to finish up her day of teaching.
Love to you from me (Faith Schildt - [email protected])
