Orvetta Owsley

This is some of the Owsley family gathered for lunch at the church after the graveside service for Orvetta. The service was held at the First Christian Church of Owensboro with Pastor Paul Whitlock and Rev. Niki Jorgenson leading in the service. The church provided a very nice meal for the family afterward. Pictured are Jane Owsley flanked by her youngest son Andrew at left, then Charles Owsley and his wife Jo(hidden) from Bowling Green, then at right Boots Owsley. Boots' daughter Barbara is facing away. Orvetta's oldest brother was Reginald, whose two sons are Charles (center of photo) and R.O. Boots is R.O.'s widow, and Jane is the widow of Boots' and R.O.'s son Mike. Boots was a faithful companion and helper to Orvetta during the last several years of her life.

The Feagan family were truly family to Orvetta, though not blood-related. Beulah (center) loved and was loved as a daughter to Orvetta, and their close relationship extended back to Beulah's very early childhood. Beulah helped and supported Orvetta in everything from business matters, clothing choices, medical care and support, and played a major role in making her final arrangements. We consider Beulah's great love and care for Orvetta to be one of the great blessings that God provided for Orvetta, a person whom herself had provided loving service to so many.

We got to visit with Edgar during our two-day trip and have a meal together at the Moonlight Barbecue. His daughter Sherri, whom we had not seen for several years, came to the funeral ane we were pleased to get to visit with her. Sherri proudly showed us pictures of her six year old daughter.

Two of the Sisters from the Carmel Home came and had prayer with us with Orvetta at the funeral home. They are pictured here with Beulah. Orvetta spent a little over a year at the Carmel Home, and received excellent care. We were pleased that she could spend that last year at such a caring facility.
