EGS July Meeting

Come join us for a fun and interesting program on July 21st. Cynthia Johnson will present Funerals and the Stories They Tell.
From horse-drawn hearses to pageantry, funerals have been a cultural staple. As time has evolved so has the funeral, no longer a “one size fits all.” Funerals are becoming as different as the individuals they are meant to commemorate.
Cynthia Johnson, born and raised in Oklahoma, is a Navy Veteran and now works as a mediator for the South-Central District of the State of Oklahoma. She has a degree in Psychology. Her interest in genealogy began decades ago as she sought information on her mother’s side of the family. But as she has attended funerals, she has found the mysteries of the “Professional Mourners” to the beauty of the “Elite Guard.”
