Opal Warmoth was born in Cement, OK to John William Jesse Leverett and Mattie Ianther Leverett, the third of ten children. She was predeceased by her parents, five siblings, her husband and father par excellence Robert Warmoth, and by their much-loved daughter Janet. Opal is survived by sisters Lennie Wise of Tulsa and Maudine Heathcock of Emory, TX, and by brothers Leon and Doyal Leverett of Kellyville. She is also survived by many nephews and nieces whose lives she followed with sincere interest and care.

After graduating from Slick High School, Mrs. Warmoth lived and worked in Bristow and Sapulpa before moving to Tulsa. She enjoyed and took great pride in her employment with Tri-State Insurance Company in the early to mid-1950s. There she made friends with her colleagues, vacationed in California with one of them, and loved the bustling and dynamic environment of Downtown Tulsa in those years.

Opal was a long-time member of the former Sheridan Road Baptist Church. Congregants and members of her Sunday School class there provided much support to Opal over the years, even after she moved to Virginia in 2016 to live near one of her nieces. The late Hazel Choate and the late Betty McCutchen were two long-time Sheridan Road friends who helped Opal in many ways over the years. The Don and Ann Payne family also enhanced the Warmoth family's life for several years. Mrs. Warmoth passed away on October 10, 2019 at the age of 99.

The family would like to thank the St. John's Home Health Care staff members who helped Opal in caring for her daughter. The late physician Milton Berg, M.D. provided essential care and more to the Warmoth family during the 1950s and 60s. Homebound teacher Mrs. Riggs was as much a friend and support to Opal as she was an educator for daughter Janet.
