Yakima Herald-Republic (WA) - Tuesday, October 4, 2011
YAKIMA - Opal McCulley, 106, died Oct. 2, 2011 at Summitview Healthcare in Yakima. She was born June 24, 1905, to Minnie and George Fellows in Pleasanton, NE. She retired from Sears in 1970. Opal loved the Mariners and crocheting for her family. Those beautiful gifts will keep her memory alive for generations to come. Her sense of adventure included a hot air balloon ride over Spokane on her 90th birthday and riding a 2-man ROTAX over Lake Chelan on her 91st. The pilot was so impressed he wrote an article about her for Ultraflight Magazine. She lived in many cities but Hardin, MT; Arco, ID; and Prosser, WA, had a special place in her heart. She is survived by her daughters, Bonnie Petty of Coeur d'Alene, ID, Helen Boozer of Pasco, WA, Margie (Bud) Burke of Yuma, AZ, Mary Jane Walker of Prosser, WA, and Wanda Roth of Union Gap, WA, and numerous grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her husband George and son Bob. At her request the only service will be a "family get together like the ones on my birthday." Her ashes will be placed in her family plot in Hardin, MT. The family wishes to thank the amazing staff at Summitview Healthcare Center.
