Mama was a wonderful cook and used those gifts to help run the family's restaurant, KaCee's in Lawton. The family ran the restaurant from 1974 until 2002, when Papa Peter & Mama retired. She was known to have her Bible open at all times. Her favorite life verses were Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and He will make your paths straight."
Mama is missed and we all cannot wait to see her again in Heaven! Come quickly, my Lord!
Barbara joined her brother, James K. Williams, her sister, Shelley R. Decker, & many other special relatives.
