I first met Ocie when I joined the extension service as Home Economics Agent for Neosho County, Kansas in February, 1964. (I retired in 2004) I admired Ocie for her knowledge, warmth and caring and for the support she gave me as a new agent. She was so tiny and so energetic. What a whirlwind in a small package.
I also enjoyed working with her as we held offices at the same time on the State Board for Kansas Assoc. of Extension Home Economists and also attended National meetings that she and I attended with the State delegation, after 1967.
Ironically, I had just inquired about Ocie and how she was last Friday, August 10th when we held our retired, (now called FACS agents) gathering in Wichita. She has crossed my mind periodically, wondering how she was doing.
Now my questions are answered. After a long, happy and productive life, may she rest in peace in God's loving hands.
