She loved her church family at Central Church of Christ in Little Rock and was a very active member until her later years.

Oweda was a homemaker, raising three children and then retired from Kimberly Clark in 1987. She had many passions including cooking (her homemade rolls and dressing were the best!), her grandchildren and great-grandchild, her church family and many friends at Good Shepherd Retirement Center Moore Building. Oweda was a kind, wonderful person and loved by all. She never met a stranger and became a friend to everyone she met.
