====================================================================

SORRELS, Opal Marie HUENEFELDT 1938 - 1994

Opal Marie Sorrels, daughter of Henry William and Lillian Seaton Huenefeldt, was 
born February 2, 1938, near Montrose. She died October 6, 1994, at her home. She 
attended Montrose school and graduated from Miami High School. After the death 
of her father she and her mother moved to Clinton. She worked at the United 
Telephone Company for several years. On September 2, 1956, she was married to 
C. O. Sorrels at Drake's Chapel United Methodist Church. To this union a daughter, 
Carla Marie Sorrels, was born. She united with the Cumberland Presbyterian 
Church of Montrose at an early age, later moving her membership to Drake's 
Chapel. Her life was centered around her family and her home. She was a loving 
and caring wife, mother and daughter-in-law. She loved to work in her flowers 
and garden and everything that she put in the ground seemed to flourish for her - 
making an array of beauty in her yard that was admired by many. Her love and 
steadfast faith in God never wavered. She was a survivor to the end, firmly 
standing on God's healing promises, believing, by faith, that she would conquer 
her illness. Her mother, father and a brother, Raymond L. Dyer, preceded her in 
death. She leaves to mourn her passing her devoted husband, daughter, and 
mother-in-law, Lillian Sorrels, numerous relatives and many friends. Thus ends a 
beautiful life, lived to its fullest by one who was always ready to lend a helping 
hand to her relatives, neighbors and friends when needed. Funeral services were 
11 a.m. Saturday, October 8, at the Consalus Chapel, Clinton. Rev. Terry Lowe 
officiated. A trio of Lisa Gurley, Carol Rucker and Jackie Stinnett sang "I Know 
Who Holds Tomorrow" and "How Great Thou Art", accompanied by Scott Brooks,

Skaggs, Kent Combs and Kent Cable. Burial was in Englewood Cemetery, Clinton.
