After moving to Dallas from Lubbock and starting her junior year at Rylie High School, she soon met the love of her life, Bruce, while in Chemistry class.If you knew Olene, then youre sure to have received a card from her at some point, as she loved writing notes to people and collecting stationery. Bruce would say he made a mistake by not agreeing to let her open a stationery store when she wanted to and becoming the next Hallmark. Olene also enjoyed spending her free time and weekends at their lake house on Lake Texoma. Walnut Creek residents will miss seeing her smile and hearing her laugh while sitting out on the porch. Olene loved the passed away and lived her life to do the right thing, she always reminded people to be grateful for what they had and to remember that the passed away is in control.She was preceded in death by her husband Bruce Arapis; parents O.P. and Oma Davis; and brother Ronald Dean Davis. The Arapis family would like to thank the staff of HOPE Healthcare and New Horizon Homes for their attention, love and compassion that they expressed to Doris Olene.
