She was born on May 26, 1927, and was the last mem-ber of the OK Pleas-ant fam-ily that dates from 1884. Be-sides her par-ents, Roder-ick But-ler Pleas-ant and Vena Alice Pierce Pleas-ant, she was pre-ceeded in death by two sis-ters, Ola Kyte, Ova Stal-cup, and six broth-ers: Kyle, King, Karl, Kale, Keys and Klan. Her lov-ing Veteran Hus-bands, Robert Gen-try and John Long, also pro-ceeded her death.

Also her son, Tone Long and wife, Anna Marie, Grand-sons, Paul, Carl and Mark, and Great Grand-chil-dren, all of Os-ce-ola, In-di-ana. She has nu-mer-ous won-der-ful nieces and neph-ews. A very spe-cial ex-tended Fam-ily is Dar-rell and Sue Ward and Fam-ily. She was known to all as "MeMe O." And like her Mother, Mom Pleas-ant, she was our "Pleas-ant Rock."

Ona was a ded-i-cated mem-ber of Cobbs Creek Bap-tist Church in But-ler, Ten-nes-see, the Amer-i-can Le-gion Aux-il-iary #61 in Moun-tain City, Ten-nes-see, Past Wor-thy Matron and Char-ter mem-ber of the Order of Eastern Star #218 in But-ler, Ten-nes-see, and was re-tired af-ter 31 years of ser-vice at the But-ler Post Of-fice.
She was an avid stamp col-lec-tor, loved cook-ing, and help-ing her com-mu-nity in many ways. She was de-voted to her Fam-ily and spe-cial Friends, and was stead-fast in her be-lief in God, Coun-try, Friends and Fam-ily.
