Mrs. Christian was born, in Granite, on March 26, 1934, to Edgar Roan and Virgie Mae (Hunt) McCurdy. Growing up in the Lake Creek Community, Nola graduated from Granite High School in 1952. After graduation, she attended Clinton Residential Nursing School where she became a registered nurse. Returning to Granite, she married Bobby Ray (Crow) Christian, the love of her life, on March 28, 1955. While Crow attended college at Southwestern, Nola worked to put him through school. Over the next several years, the family lived in Haskill, Ocena, Carter, Cement and Maysville where Nola worked in different doctor's offices and other medical facilities. In 1966, they returned to Granite and Nola worked for several years at the Mangum Hospital and Nursing Home before beginning a long tenure as a nurse at the Oklahoma State Reformatory, where she retired from in the 1990's.
