Mrs. Massey passed away on Saturday, May 20, 2023, at her residence in Dew.
She was born in Franklin County, TX on April 12, 1938. Her family worked as share croppers in the cotton fields of west Texas and she picked cotton as a young child alongside her family. Her parents’ job required them to move around numerous times as she grew up, but finally settled near Dew. Ola Mae owned & operated her own beauty shop at her home for several years. She loved to garden and raise cattle and enjoyed watching her grandchildren’s ball games and rodeos. Often times, she would sit in the hay field with all the grandchildren while they cut hay. Ola Mae also enjoyed taking trips with her best friends, Ruth & D. H. Pickens. Mrs. Massey was a member of the Cowboy Heritage Church.
She is survived by one son, Jeffrey Massey & wife Helen; one daughter-in-law, Kim Massey all of Dew; four grandchildren, Jeffrey “Scooter” Massey & wife Katrina, Amanda Lowey & husband Keagan, John Wayne Massey, and Lori Massey; one great-grandson, Levi Landry; numerous nieces and nephews.
Mrs. Massey was preceded in death by her husband, Wayne L. Massey; one son, David Massey; her parents, Leonard & Letha Mae Armstrong; four brothers, Henry Armstrong, Delbert Armstrong, Charles Armstrong, James Armstrong, and Jack Platt; and one sister, Maxine Dommert.
The family requests that memorials be made to the Cowboy Heritage Church of Freestone County, P.O. Box 1001, Fairfield, TX 75840.
