I remember Mrs. Owens foundly from WHS. My thoughts are with her family.

I recall so many precious memories of Mrs Owens as my English teacher in Waldron. One of the memories I recall while attending an Owens family reunion was of Melba & Mondell singing "Tie a Yellow Ribbon 'round an Old Oak Tree". I can still hear them singing and seeing the twinkle in their eyes as they sang. What Good times. Heaven has just become so much sweeter..

So sad to hear of your loss.

Thinking of you all and remembering many wonderful times spent with Mondell & Melba. You are in my thoughts and prayers!

She was a wonderful teacher. she was a great example to many!

Melba was a dear friend to my mother and dad. My sympathy goes to her family.
