August 5, 2008 , pg 13aTamar "Tommie" Casey ,
92-years-young, of OKC, OK, passed away August 1, 2008 in OKC, OK. Born November
26, 1915 in Pontotoc County, (Ada area) Okla., she was the daughter of William
and Melissa Beal Walls. Being the Walls' Family Matriarch, she was known and
affectionately called Aunt "T" by all who knew her.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband C.W. Casey in 1982; and
by 8 siblings. She retired as a secretary for Humpty Dumpty Foods in the late
1970's. Aunt T remained active in helping the Teamsters hold annual reunions
after her retirement as well as staying in contact with her husband's associates
of Leeway Motor Freight. Also, she was an active member of St. John's United
Methodist Church and the Ladies Auxiliary. She and our family were especially
proud of her "Rosie the Riveter" occupation @ Tinker AFB during WWII. She loved
to fish, go to Lake Texoma, cook, listening to her country western favorites and
just having fun w/ lots of laughter. She especially loved her OU Sooner football
and the Dallas Cowboys. Her main purpose in life was loving her Lord, and her
extended large family. She was an "unconditional" giver with a generous, kind
soul helping many in need.
Survivors include many nieces, nephews and all their families. A special
Thank You to Bellevue Health and Rehab Center, and staff for the last few years
of loving care, also to Autumn Bridge Hospice during her final days. You are
special people indeed. In lieu of flowers, donations in honor of Aunt T can be
made to the Heart Association, Alzheimer's Organization, St. John's United
Methodist Women's, Autumn Bridge Hospice or your favorite charity. So we
lovingly say Goodbye to our beloved Aunt T meaning "God be with ye" till we meet
again.

United Methodist Church on North Meridian in Oklahoma City, OK. Burial will
