Rella Oxley passed away in December 2022 after a prolonged battle
with declining health and Alzheimer's in San Marcos, Texas. Rella
was born and raised on a farm near Carnegie, Oklahoma.
Rella spent most of her life married to Bart Oxley, another native
Oklahoman. They were married for over 60 years until Bart passed
away. They lived in Borger, Texas; Pasadena, Texas; Toledo, Ohio;
and Horseshoe Bay, Texas during their time together.
Rella received her Teaching and Counseling Degrees and taught in
the Borger, Texas and Toledo, Ohio school systems, and counseled
students in the Fritch, TX school system during her career. She also
excelled in artistic painting. Dedicated to her career, she was
associated with the Amarillo Fine Arts Association, Delta Kappa
Gamma, and High Plains Counseling Association. Rella was a
licensed professional counselor, and her art works were displayed in
a Santa Fe art gallery.
A longtime member of the Church of Christ, Rella was a loving wife,
mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend. She is
preceded in death by her parents, her stepfather, a brother, and two
sisters. Rella is survived by her three sons, one daughter-in-law,
three granddaughters, and four great grandchildren. Rella will be
lovingly remembered by all her relatives and friends.
Rella and Bart will be interred in the Carnegie, Oklahoma Cemetery,
beside her parents during a future private graveside Memorial
Service.
