Stanley celebrates 80 years

In July, “Rita” N.N. Payton Stanley of Oklahoma City celebrated 80 years of a healthy life. Widowed three times, she lives alone; yet maintains half an acre by gardening several hours each day. To friends, family and neighbors, she gifts bountiful flowers and vegetables. She provides a 10-foot border along the entire fence line for wildlife habitat. Choctaw reverence for nature sustains her.
