So saddened by the loss of our cousin, Ressie. She was always a sweet, softly spoken lady. Loved meeting at her house for hot cocoa when we were young GA girls from church and loved her chicken and dumplings at the O'Neal reunion each year. We will miss her beautiful smile. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the family.
Love to all.

Heart felt sympathy to all the family. We will dearly miss our O'Neal cousin at the O/Neal/Watts reunions. Ressie made them so special for everyone who attended each year! She always hand made shawls/blankets to be auctioned off, I love the two that I have!. There were door prizes for our oldest members and those who came the longest distance. Always assuring and planning that our family would have a gathering place for the next year . Her daddy JohnnyO'Neal was a brother to my grandmother Mary J. (O'Neal) Watts .She and my mother Jessie were 1st cousins. Thank You Ressie for all you did to serve your family. We loved you very much . We send love and prayers that her family will receive God's comfort at this time.

Dear Dee and family, I just wanted to say that Jackie and I are very sorry of Ressie's passing. She was a wonderful friend and lady to us. We spent our last two Thanksgivings with her at her home with my uncle Hugh and other friends as well. My uncle Hugh and Ressie were friends for the last 20 plus years. She will be missed greatly by all that knew her. We will keep your family in our prayers.

Delaine, so sorry to hear of Ressie's passing, she, along with Jim were very good friends of Aunt Eula and Uncle Ralph. and I learned something, sure didn't know she was a sister to Delia Ward. and didn't know you lived in Cabot, you are almost my neighbor.
