She was employed at Mataldo’s Dress Shop for 14 years and Joe’s Drapery Shop for 20 years. Alla had been a member of the New Life Pentecostal Church on Tuxedo since it began. Fifty-plus years ago her brother Rev. Curtis and Iona White started the church and she’s been a member ever since. On July 29, 1989 she married for the first time, at the age of 71 to Otis Black, who had asked her to marry him at the age of 18 and she had refused. He came to Bartlesville to visit her and her brother, Dee White and before long he asked her again to marry him and she accepted this time, 54 years later. They had eight wonderful years together, before Otis passed away. Alla then moved to Copan, OK to live by her brother and sister-in-law, Dee and Marie White. She lived in Copan for 16 years until her brother passed away. She has lived in Skiatook with her nieces and sister-in-law Marie since then. Alla was preceded in death by her husband, Otis W.
