Aunt Oneida will be dearly missed by all of her immediate family, extended family, and friends. Her smile, sense of humor, wisdom, generosity, beauty, grace, and empathy left an imprint on anyone who had the benefit of her presence. She was a true matriarch in every sense of the word. Her wisdom, work ethic, and experience provided invaluable guidance for all of the men and women in our family. The love she showed all of us was a true testament to her character and capacity to love unconditionally. I am especially grateful for the love and memories I was blessed to share with Aunt Oneida. I am proud to have considered her a role model, and believe she was equally as proud of me. I will always cherish her wisdom and appreciate her gift of conversation. I, and my daughter Kyla, wish to extend heartfelt condolences to all of our family members, and we wish them comfort as they grieve. Although we are all saddened beyond words, we must celebrate the extraordinary life of an exemplary woman blessed with a long and impactful life. May Aunt Oneida Anderson rest in peace and be surrounded with God's Everlasting Love. With love and sympathy, Kajana Stephens.
