continuous members of that congregation.

Opal was blessed with three children, Charles, George and Shirley. 

Her children and her church were her life.

She worked at Rexall Drug until it closed its doors and then moved to Wal-Mart 
pharmacy when it first opened in Claremore. 

She was a member of Credit Women's International.

Opal served faithfully in her church family and particularly enjoyed working 
with younger children she taught in Sunday School for many years. 

She enjoyed reading the word of the Lord from her Bible.

Opal is survived by her daughter Shirley and husband Don Taylor of Dickinson, 
Texas; six grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; and seven great-great 
grandchildren. 

She was preceded in death by her sons, Charles Joseph Breeden and George William 
Breeden; grandson, David Wayne Corley and great-granddaughter, Kristin Leanne 
Workman
