her life, Wesley Alva Wilson, a young man also from Cox City. They made their
first home in OKC for 16 years, where they raised two daughters, Jo Ellen and

wife and mother. In 1973 they moved to a small farm in Newcastle and in 1976 she
began a career as a secretary for the Newcastle Public Schools, retiring after

the senior citizens. She was a faithful Christian and for 25 years was a member
