Sarah Opal [Line] Buchanan

Funeral service for Sarah Opal Buchanan, age 93, of Verden, Oklahoma, will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, December 22, 2004, in the Verden First Baptist Church. Rev. Edward Whitley will officiate and Rev. Johnny Wray will assist.

Sarah Opal Buchanan was born on October 1, 1911, the daughter of Sherman and Laura Line, in Caddo County, and departed this life on December 20, 2004, in Verden.

Opal attended Verden School. She married Herbert Buchanan on December 24, 1932, and they lived in the LaCrosse Community, where they operated the LaCrosse Grocery and farmed for many years. In 1962, they moved to Verden. Opal worked many places during her lifetime including Hicks Dept. Store, Davis TG&Y, and most recently Maxine's Steak House in Anadarko as cashier, where she met many friends and was loved by all.

God has now welcomed Opal (Grandma "B") into Heaven with open arms and she will be one of His choice guests throughout eternity. All because she accepted Jesus as her Savior many years ago and was of Baptist faith.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, infant daughter, Dorothy Fay, one son, Bobby, one great granddaughter, Melisa Tharp, son-on-law, Cecil Tharp, four sisters, and four brothers.

Survivors include: daughter, Betty Tharp, of Verden; son, Richard Buchanan, of Verden; son, Harold Buchanan, of Verden; nine grandchildren; 19 great grandchildren; sister-in-law, Evelyn Buchanan, of Purcell; brother-in-law, James Carlson, of Chickasha; many nieces and nephews and friends.

Interment will be in the Memory Lane Cemetery in Anadarko. Service will be under the direction of the McRay's Verden Funeral Home.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Scott Carter Foundation, Children's Cancer Research, P.O. Box 700448, Tulsa, OK 74170.

The family extends a special thanks to her Hospice nurses, Diana and Linda and Jeff Barr.
