She was a devoted wife, loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. As a loving Mother and Grandmother, she always took time to listen and encourage. She was a friend, confidant, and advisor to all who knew her. Earlene and Ed owned and operated Wells Furniture for over 50 years in Sapulpa. She participated in several civic organizations through the years. She was active in Women’s Chamber of Commerce, Lady Lions, Pilot Club, Child Welfare Board, and Salvation Army Board.
