It all began in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, when a beautiful, baby girl was
born on March 31, 1958 from the loving union of Vernon O'Dell and Rosie
Lee [Tamplin] Ware. They named her Arnette.

Affectionately referred to as "Bonnie", she was a lifelong resident of
Okmulgee, where she attended Okmulgee Public Schools, graduating with
the Bicentennial Class of 1976. She furthered her education at
Oklahoma State Tech in Okmulgee and became a Certified Nurse Aid.

At a young age, she was baptized at the First Baptist Church-Central,
where she attended Church with the Family throughout her lifetime.

Her time with us on Earth came to a close on Saturday morning, August
31, 2013, when she dozed from life to everlasting in her home in
Okmulgee. She was preceded in death by her parents, a brother, Curtis
Ware and a sister, Mary Jo Ware.

She leaves in God's care; her son, Carl Randolph Penn, III, and a
daughter, Tiffany Nicole Penn, both of Okmulgee, Oklahoma; her
brothers, Theodis Ware, Fort Worth, Texas, Eddie Ware, Atlanta,
Georgia, Vernon Ware, Brush Springs, Oklahoma, Charles Ware, Choctaw,
Oklahoma, and Phillip Ware, Okmulgee, Oklahoma; her sisters, Betty
Barker, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Vernetta Ware and Carolyn Ware, both
of Okmulgee; four grandchildren; along with a caravan of other
relatives and friends who will cherish her memory.

A Memorial Ceremony will be shared honoring her wishes on Saturday, September 7, 2013 at 1:00 P.M. in the Chapel of Peace at the Funeral Home. Evangelist Texanna James will officiate.
