Ouita Petty

It is with sadness, heavy hearts and a profound sense of loss that the family of Ouita Petty announces her peaceful passing on October 29, 2023 at the age of 82 years.  She was a much loved wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great grandmother and friend to many.
