Mrs. Ouida was a wonderful woman in many things. She was a mentor to me when I first started in the Brunswick Baptist WMU council. She helped me many times in Ga day camps and she was always there when I needed prayer or just to talk. We traveled to Ridgecrest quite a few times together and she always was up for a trip any where we had to go for training. She will be greatly missed in my life. God Bless each of you her family during this time of your loss.
