Opal Mae Sidelik

Opal Mae Sidelik was born in Beloit, Kansas, on August 8, 1942, and passed to her eternal reward on May 9, 2024, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Opal was preceded in death by her parents and her husband. She is survived by her son, Ricky Dean Rarick of Texas, and her daughters, Michelle Nanette Darling of Midwest City, Oklahoma, and Marie Suzette Graham and husband James Graham of Lindsay, Oklahoma, and her grandchildren, Zachary, Jacob, Christina, April, Leslie, Lisa, Cindy, Crystal, Leroy, James, and Jesse. Opal lived many years in Chickasha, Oklahoma. She was a homebody, but loved when friends and family visited. No matter what worries the day may have brought, Opal would never let on that she had a care in the world, and her smile would light up the room. During the COVID epidemic, Opal, like so many, was exposed and had to be hospitalized. The pandemic took a toll on her, forcing her to leave her home and move to long-term care in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Even then, after being forced to leave her home, her smile was as big as ever. She got involved with arts and crafts to fill her time at the nursing center. She loved her family and was always proud to hear a story of a family member, especially a grandchild, reaching a goal or accomplishment. But the most important thing to Opal was her relationship with Jesus Christ. She was a member of the Grand Assembly of Chickasha, Oklahoma. Having to leave her church was the hardest part of leaving Chickasha for Opal. Opal will be missed by all of these family members and many friends. The family would like to thank the staff of Capital Hill Nursing and Rehab for their excellent treatment, care, and love for Opal during the past three years. A funeral service to honor Opal is set to begin at 1:00 P.M. on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, at the Wilbourn Family Funeral Home Chapel in Lindsay, Oklahoma. Opal will be laid to rest following the service at Green Hill Cemetery in Lindsay, Oklahoma. Services are under the direction of Scott and Angel Wilbourn of Wilbourn Family Funeral Home in Lindsay, Oklahoma. Condolences may be made to the family at www.wilbournfamilyfuneralhome.com
