Edna Mae Alger Oaks, 87, went to be with the Lord on June 4, 2023, just one-fourth mile from where she entered the world. Edna was born to Arch Alger and Vanna Pearl Garrett Alger in Union City on Aug. 16, 1935.
On Oct. 14, 1952, Edna became engaged to Willard Ray Oaks as “On the Wings of a Snow White Dove” by Ferlin Husky serenaded the couple on the radio. She was a Union City High School senior at the time they became engaged, and she proudly graduated with salutatorian honors in the fall of 1952.

From humble beginnings seven years ago, El Reno Public Schools Summer Food Program completed its first week of service by handing out several thousand free meals in three days.
“We handed out a little over 2,000 meals in three days. We had an idea of what we needed with summer school and youth camps, but as far as the food trucks, that was much more than we expected.
“We handed out over 600 meals the first day and it became more each day as people got used to the new locations,” said Community Outreach director Brooke Robertson.
