LaVada graduated from Kingfisher High School in 1948 and went to work at

She moved to the country and spent the next 15 years being a farmer’s

Streck of Yukon, Dan Yost of Terlton and Kim McGruder of Milton, Fla.
In July 1967, her husband Jack passed away and LaVada took over the
farming and ranching operations.
Over the years, she held several positions of employment, a brief stint

LaVada spent many hours cooking and packing meals to the field during
harvest and planting seasons.
She grew massive gardens and preserved large amount of food. She spent
many hours sewing clothes for her children and grandchildren, including
quilts she lovingly created for each of the grandchildren.
LaVada was a member of and very active in several extension home and
garden clubs.
She enjoyed being active in her church and cooking for church functions.
She was a student of scripture and enjoyed studying her Bible.

Heaven.
