On July 21, 1949 she married James Leon Johnston and together they made their home in Claremore and 3 children blessed this union. Eletha worked for Aunt Carrie’s Nursing home, which later became Wood Manor, first as a cook and later as a nurse after she earned her CMA license. Following her retirement from Wood Manor, she worked at Ginger Bread Day Care. She loved children and this was a way for her to spend time looking after those little ones.
Hobbies included crocheting, sewing and canning. She loved her family especially her grandchildren. She spoiled them often. During her years at the Milam building, she sold Avon to her neighbors and friends. Eletha was a member of the Church of God (Seventh Day) and loved worshiping with her friends there.
Those family members that survive include her children Larry Johnston and wife Patricia of Albany, Oregon, Connie James and husband Ricky of Inola and Tricia Conder of Claremore; her son-in-law Joe Bob Conder also of Claremore; her grandchildren Jason Johnston, Leah James, Kristin Gonzalez, Bradlee Scott, Michael Craig James, Amanda Brown, Chad Conder and Cortnie James; 15 great grandchildren; her brothers Charles Hinds, Jr. and wife Gail and Raymond Hinds and wife Wilma all of Claremore; and many nieces and nephews.
