BAY CITY [Matagorda County, Texas] - Othie was one of seven children
born to Sam and Freddie Mae Brown on Dec. 19, 1929 in Memphis. Othie “Oatha” Lee Temple
At the young age of seventeen she united with Samuel Temple II in holy matrimony on August 25, 1947. They together made a home in Markham, Texas. To this union was born seven children, three of which preceded in her in death, Robert Lee, Linda Marie and Samuel III. In her early twenties she accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior at the Mt. Zion Church of God In Christ in Markham, Texas. The presiding pastor at that time was the late Reverend J. B. Allen. There she obtained a solid foundation of Christian teaching that guided her through life’s journey. She always spoke fondly of Reverend Allen and the things he often taught her. Othie knew and experienced the power and presence of the Lord and received many answers to prayers. It is because of her that many in her family have come to know the Lord. She leaves with them a strong legacy of prayer and faith in God. In 1968 her life took a traumatic turn. Samuel II, her husband of twenty-one years, died abruptly leaving her to raise their children alone. Othie, relying totally on God, acquired her nursing certification in order to provide a living for her children. Eventually, this widowed mother of five was able to purchase a brand new home and moved her family to Bay City, Texas, in a prominent neighborhood. Look what God hath done. Her testimony through the years was that God always provided that which she needed. Over fifty years she worked in the nursing profession untiringly caring for others. She was well respected among those who co-labored with her in this field and the neighboring community at large. Othie cared about people. Her family she held close to her heart and displayed true humanitarian efforts by not only raising her children, but also three of her brother Lee Andrew Brown’s children. She was indeed the Matriarch of the Temple family who held everyone together through good times and bad. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. (II Cor. 5:8). On January 25, 2008 this matriarch closed her eyes in peace as she crossed over to eternal life in her Savior Jesus Christ. Imparting to her family a wonderful legacy of prayer and faith in the power of God. She leaves to cherish her memory four children: Mrs. Essie Mae Temple Lenzy, Mr. Michael Lee Temple, Mrs. Sallie Yvonne Temple Davison, Mr. Steve Adrian Temple, all of San Antonio, Texas, thirteen grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews and relatives. We praise God for her life, the time he allowed for her to share with us and the beautiful life legacy she has left to gracefully embrace.
