i4f Memorial Home
Sandy Otis
Although her twin daughters were only six
months old, when Sandy Otis was called to
help out at the Abraham Memorial Home one
snowy winter day this winter because the
Home was short-handed, she responded
immediately—and has been working ever
since. She is working as a nurse's aide, but
plans to go into the housekeeping
department soon, where she has expertise
gained from similar work at both the
Abraham Home and Hemphill County
Hospital.
Mrs. Otis gives credit for her ability to
take care of her family, with five children and
husband, Frank, and still be able to work, to
the cooperation she has from everyone, and
especially 11-year old Donald. Each morning
Donald feeds and dresses one of the little
girls while Sandy looks after the other. When
they leave the house he carries one of his
sisters and she the other, and one of the
smaller boys grabs the diaper bag.
Donald was invaluable, too, when the twins
were born last summer—the first girls to be
born in the Otis family in 70 years. The
premature twins were very small and one of
them had to undergo surgery almost
immediately. Little Brandy was a month old
before she could come home and Candy was
two and a half months old before she was
released to her family. Mrs. Otis, herself,
underwent extensive surgery following the
twins' birth and was unable to look after her
daughters for some time. Young Donald was
father Frank's right hand man, helping with
all of the children and with the household
duties until his mother recuperated.
Sandy was born in Liberty, Missouri to Mr.
and Mrs. Arthur L. Graham. She attended
schools in Missouri and met her
husband-to-be in Independence, Missouri at
the Lake City Army Ammunition plant
where she was working in the inspection line.
They were married in February 1967 and
moved to Texas in March 1972. In addition to
SANDY OTIS
Donald and the twin girls the Otises have two
other sons, Flint and Farron.
The family enjoys fishing outings and they
go to various fishing holes around Canadian
whenever possible. Sandy enjoys trying new
things. About three years ago she tried bull
riding, which she enjoyed trying, but didn't
do too well at. She likes painting ceramics
and plaster of Paris.
The Otis children have birthdays every
two weeks from June 28 to August 9.
Birthday parties in the Otis family are special
Sandy Otis is always neat in her
appearance and always pleasant with both
the residents of the Abraham Home and her
fellow employees. Never moody, she always
is a joy to have around.
