Hobbies included golfing, woodworking, quilting and crocheting, horseshoe pitching and camping/fishing with friends and family. They also enjoyed ballroom dancing, square dancing and clogging. Othal and Helen are members of Memorial United Methodist Church of Farmington. They have two children, Brenda, (Mrs. Arnold) Edgar, of Desloge and David, wife Cindi, of Panama City, Flor. They are blessed with seven grandchildren (and spouses) as follows: Randy (Julianne) Edgar, Terry (Anita) Edgar, Danny (Susi) Edgar, Julie (Chris) Hill, Andy (Janet) McFarland, Amy (Joe) Wells and Cathy (Aaron) King, along with nineteen great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren.
