She was proud of this and in her unpretentious and modest demeanor she spoke of her birth place, it's residents and of her life both in Oklahoma and Arizona.
Her recollections were always with love and respect for those who were in her life.
On one account she shared the story of her father's fringed black surry they used for transportation in Kully Chaha and how she felt somewhat embarrassed in regards to those whom had less. At the Ritter store in Atwood her father would purchace ribbons for the girls hair. Ollie would usually ask for extra to share with her friends.
Her home occupied a beautiful antique pump organ she used in excercising her love for music and to rejoice in song praising the lord. It also was filled with memories of her life and treasured heilooms of her own and that of her parents. A family photo album clearly displayed the faces and places of the Furgerson, Farrell and Ritter families. In a spare room on a home made featherbed mattress her granddchildren slept. Outside Ollie stored the rainwater she used to wash her hair that she had never cut.
In the company of her uncle the Rev. Leander Hawkins Ritter, a traveling evangelist, she played her portable organ by reading hymes with shaped notes and singing gospel. Together they gathered under brush arbors to share the gospel in Oklahoma.
She was a Charter member of the Nazarene Church and an early resident of Litchfield Park, Arizona.
Her joy of gardening was clearly visible in her yard by the flowers she grew. She was also a homemaker and some of her tasks were making home-made lye soap, raising chickens and vegitables and crocheting.
Ollie was a constant member of her faith and a continuous soilder of Jesus.
