My mother in law Omia Elizabeth Clouse passed away yesterday, October
23, 2007. She was 88, and had lived a long interesting life. Born in a
one room shack in rural Oklahoma, she weighed less than 4 pounds, and
was kept alive by being wrapped in burlap and warm bricks, placed in a
dresser drawer. The makeshift incubator worked, and she thrived.
Her Clouse family had come from Tennessee in the late 1800s, to Texas,
then her father went to Oklahoma to work in the oil fields. She left
Oklahoma to work in the California aircraft factories in WW II. She
worked as a waitress, owned her own restaurant, and married 3 times,
outliving all her husbands.
Omia leaves three sons and one daughter, many grandchildren and
great-grandchildren.
