Obituary for Oleta S. Woyee

Those who knew Oleta, knew her as a strong willed, nurturing, selfless wife and mother. The love and dedication she carried for her family was endless. There were no limits, mountains, rivers or valleys that would stop her from fulfilling the needs for her husband, children, grandchildren and other family members.
Her love was eternal and will always be celebrated.

Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.”
