                Obit for Edna Earle Roling Wester

Services for Edna Earle Roling Wester, 83, of Denison, Texas, were held at 3
p.m., Friday, April 13, at the First Baptist Church in Denison with the Rev.
Keith Barbee officiating.

Mrs. Wester was born March 11, 1918, in Amity, Arkansas, the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Earle G. Roling.

Her family moved to Durant when she was a baby. She attended elementary grades
at Russell High School in Durant and graduated from Durant High School. She and
Truman Wester were married in 1937 in Durant, and they celebrated their 63rd
wedding anniversary on October 30, 2000.

Mrs. Wester attended Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant for one
year, then quit school to help her husband through college. The Wester family
lived in Ardmore, Edmond, Holdenville, Durant and Norman before moving to
Denison in 1967. Mrs. Wester worked for a few years at Grayson County College
as a library assistant, but her real joy was caring for the couple's three
daughters and helping with the grandchildren. She was a devoted homemaker for
her husband and family.

Mrs. Wester was a member of the First Baptist Church, but during recent years
she was in failing health and did most of her worship through television
programming. She was also a member of the Denison Lions Club.

Mrs. Wester was preceded in death by her parents; and a sister, Freda Barbe of
Santa Cruz, California.

Survivors include her husband, Truman Wester of the home; three daughters and
sons-in-law, Glenna and Walter Causey of Meeker, Jana and Jerry Crew of
Oklahoma City, and Nancy and Steve Alley of Denison; grandchildren, Scott and
Shelley Myers of Chickasha, Jeff Causey of Irving, Texas, Kerry Causey of
Duncan, Carol Causey of Ada, and Lacy Alley of Denison; two great-
grandchildren, Morgan and Mason Myers of Chickasha; a sister and brother-in-
law, Mattie Sue and Walter Hanson of Springfield, Illinois; a sister-in-law,
Sandra Bonds of Denison; and two aunts, Zula Cooke of Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
and Anna Mae Wester of Cushing.

Pallbearers were Dr. C.J. Smith, Frank Graves, Jerry McAlister, Lyndol Irby,
Bill Ashburn and Dr. Wayne Delaney. Honorary pallbearers were Albert W. Brown,
Bill Wilcox and Jack Lilley.

Interment was in Fairview Cemetery under the direction of Bratcher Funeral
Home.
