My journey of life began on January 8, 1947 to the union of Walter Tate Sr. and Elizabeth (Elston) Tate in Boy
nton, OK. After my mother's death
at a young age
, my father married Viola (Henry) Tate who raised my siblings and
me
as her own. I graduated
valedictorian of my
class
from Taft Moton High School in 1965. After high school I attended Langston University and graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration.
I joined the Bethel 7
th
Day Adventist Church in Kansas City, KS, where I was the church treasurer
.
In this wonderful journey of life
and love
,
my wonderful children were born. I
was employed at the Housing Authority of Kansas City, KS until I returned
home
to Muskogee, OK, in 1991
, where I became a member of Berean SDA church and church treasurer as well
.
I attended Indian Capital Vo-tech and became a Licensed Practical Nurse, where I worked at Eddie Warrior and retired from Claremore VA
Hospital
.
After retiring I
was
taking ca
re of family and cooking for my
brothers. I enjoyed making quilts in my spare time and making
"snoopy blankets
"
for my children and grandchildren.
After threescore year
s and eleven
, the ti
me the Lord promised
he called me home to rest
with the words,
"
I loved, I lived and I fought
"
. I will now be reunited with my parents, Walter, Elizabeth and Viola Tate, my brothers West, Frank, Dwight and Jeff Tate.
