Mom was born June 8, 1939 to John William and Veta Elizabeth (Anderson) McKinnis in Cashion, Oklahoma. She was later adopted by Fetus and Evalinn Parson of Lovington, New Mexico.

Theola graduated in Lovington, and then went to business school before moving to Oregon to be with the McKinnis family.

In 1960 she married Carl Elwood Hughes and in March of 1964 gave birth to their first daughter, Carla Dee Hughes. Two years later in November of 1966, their next daughter, Brenda Jo Hughes Villegas was born. They lived on Frankton Road, till Carla was about 4 and then moved to Odell.

Shortley after Brenda was born, mom started attending Tucker Road Baptist Church. She soon started playing piano for Rev. LD Mann and his wife, Barbara. She loved GOD with all of her heart.

Mom was working at the bowling alley when I (Carla) was born. It used to be downtown where Betty’s Place is now. She bowled on a team for several years. She also worked for Janzen’s, Van Horn, Diamond Central and for Evergreen as a CNA.

She was a giver, TBN was her favorite. She also gave to Smile for a Child, the Portland Mission, Union Gospel and numerous other charities.
