Those Who Were Killed
We come here to remember those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever. May all who leave here know the impact of violence. May this memorial offer comfort, strength, peace, hope and serenity.
Peola Battle
"A person "who never met a stranger," Peola Battle, 51, of Oklahoma City, made friends wherever she went, said her daughter, Janet Battle. Janet Battle said her mother and father, Calvin Battle, had gone to the Murrah building to apply for disability assistance for Calvin, who recently had suffered a stroke. Since her husband could not drive, Peola drove him to his appointment. Calvin Battle also was killed in the bombing. Janet Battle described her mother as a "Christian lady" who attended Greater Mount Carmel Baptist Church. Janet Battle said her mother and father raised four daughters, including herself."
