Opal Louise Crims' Obituary
Opal Louise Crims, 75, of Tulsa, OK, went to be with her Heavenly Father on Sunday, February 24, 2019 at Colonial Manor Nursing Home, in Tulsa, OK. She was born on June 24, 1943, at St. Joseph Hospital, San Francisco, CA, to William "Bill" E. Crims and Mary E. (Goss) Crims. The Crims family was originally from Talihina, OK, and moved to San Francisco, CA. They later migrated back to Talihina, Le Flore County, OK, about the time World War II ended.
Opal and her sister, Phyllis, attended church and school in Talihina, where Opal graduated from Talihina High School in 1961.Opal's father, Bill Crims, was killed in an accident in 1951; her mother, Mary Crims, died in 1961. After this, Opal moved to Tulsa to live with her sister, Phyllis, who was employed at American Airlines. Opal, who was disabled early in her life, was cared for by her sister for 51 years in Tulsa, until she died on January 6, 2012.
Both of these girls were raised with a firm belief in Jesus Christ, and were members of the Community of Christ Church in Tulsa, OK. They attended regularly in Tulsa and worked teaching classes and crafts in the church, as well as writing to members who were ill or just missed church. Opal had a great sense of humor in spite of many health issues. She was a happy person, fun to be with, and always looked for the good things in life.
Opal is survived by friends, Mr. and Mrs. E. Rogers and family; a God-niece, Debbie Geetah and her two sons; best friends, Karen Dickinson, Naomi Menjarey, Margie Harris, Charlean Goodwin; the Tran family; neighbors, Terry and Jim; along with all of the close neighbors on East 4th Street in Tulsa; and a lifetime of friends. She is also survived by many family members in Oklahoma, Oregon and California; her pastor, Jack Fehrenbacher, and wife, Janie, who were also very special friends. There were also many helpers, management, and friends at Colonial Manor. A special thanks to Dr. Clock and his assistant for their help and care. She was preceded in death by her parents; and her sister.
