From Opal's obit: After graduating from Huntsville High School in 1951, Opal attended Sam Houston State Teachers College where she was active in several organizations, including the Annie Gibbs Society. This is where she met her future husband Milton Walters of Buna, Texas, at a Pioneer Roundup event.
After graduation and marriage in 1955, Opal and Milton moved to Waco. In the 10 years they lived there, Milton worked for the Waco school system, and Opal was mostly a full-time housewife and mom as their only child, Dwayne, was born in 1957. Opal and Milton enjoyed activities with the Speegleville Saddle Club, where they met their life-long friends Sonia and Joe Kendall. As Dwayne got older, in the early 1960s, the family spent less time with horses and more time with church activities and square dancing.
In 1967, Opal, Milton, and Dwayne moved to Woodville to engage in the adventure of running a White’s Auto Store franchise. After 3 years with the franchise, Milton moved to teaching Industrial Cooperative Training at the local high school and was joined by Opal teaching Distributive Education for several years. In Woodville, Opal was active in civic and non-profit organizations including The Dogwood Festival and the Methodist Church’s Wee Wisdom preschool program.
Opal and Milton moved to Huntsville in 1980 where Milton taught in Huntsville ISD. This move allowed Opal to be closer to her aging mom and to help with family ranching activities. Over the next twenty plus years, in addition to Opal and Milton building their “dream house”, they also participated in more non-profit and civil organizations, agricultural operations, and were active members in the First Methodist Church. During these years, Opal especially enjoyed RV travel and taking her two grandsons on cross-country adventures as much as possible.
In 2010, after the passing of Milton, Opal moved to the Carriage Inn in Bryan, Texas where she enjoyed the social activities, day trips, musical entertainment, and particularly the church services and hymns. Throughout Opal’s life she engaged in hobbies that were closely related to her college degree in Home Economics; mainly sewing, cooking, and “socializing!”
