Mrs. Douglas retired in 1987 after working 26 years in the Oklahoma City Public School System as a Cafeteria Manager. She was active in her church, at which she was a member for 65 years. She loved sewing and cooking for her family, tending her garden, which she called her "farm," and growing and sharing beautiful flowers, including her prize roses. She loved the very young and the very old, taking special time to attend to their needs. Visitation will be from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Thursday and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday at Temple and Sons Funeral Home.
