CROSBYTON — Oleta Bond Adams, 99, passed away peacefully in her sleep Thursday March 26,2015 in her room at the Crosbyton Nursing Home.
Mrs. Adams was born Feb 5, 1916 in Royston, Texas to George and Vera Bond. Her childhood was spent in Fisher County. The family moved to Crosbyton and Oleta graduated from Crosbyton High School in 1934. She worked for her father in his office as Crosby County Judge before marrying Alvie Adams in March 1938. They made their first home in Caprock south of Ralls and began farming. Alvie farmed in Crosby County until he retired. They had two children. Oleta was a member of the First Baptist Church in Caprock and played the piano for the worship services. They moved to Ralls in 1950. Oleta attended First Baptist in Ralls and enjoyed the Ladies Sunday School Class, helped in VBS and other church ministries. She was a 50 year member of the Ralls Order of Eastern Star. She served many years as secretary and twice as Worthy Matron. She enjoyed gardening, bird watching, crossword puzzles and later she always had a word-find book in her hand. She often spoke of �the best time� she ever had, and that was traveling around Texas in her small motor home. After Alvie�s death, she moved to Crosbyton so she could be closer to her daughter Carolyn. She had many sweet people (especially Becky Cantu) who helped her to manage to stay in her home on Harrison street until moving into the nursing home in 2010 at the age of 94.
