Subject: 2020 Homeless
Point-in-Time Survey
The Northeast Oklahoma Homeless Continuum of Care is
conducting its annual point-in-time homeless survey in order to gather
information about the number of homeless individuals in Northeast
Oklahoma and the resources available to provide services to these
people.
In order to accurately assess the
scope of homelessness in our region, we are asking you to participate by
completing the enclosed survey to indicate the number of homeless individuals
encountered by your agency on January 23, 2020. While many of you are not homeless service
providers, most of you encounter homeless persons on a daily basis, even if you
do not provide services to them. It is
important to us to gather accurate data on both sheltered individuals and families
(those in homeless facilities) and unsheltered homeless individuals and
families who are living/sleeping in places not meant for human habitation, such
as in cars, abandoned buildings, on the streets, in the parks, etc. We ask all law enforcement agencies, schools,
park staff and other community agencies to help us by locating and counting the
homeless individuals in your community or facility on January 23rd. We also ask all shelter providers to provide
information in regards to the number of beds you have available, the number of
persons sheltered and any expansion plans you have for the next year.
Your participation and input is
critical in helping us to determine the extent of homelessness in Northeast
Oklahoma and will help us determine what resources and services
are needed to address the needs of the homeless in our region. With this information, we can support the
need for federal funding to help reduce homelessness.
Thank you in advance for your participation. Please review the enclosed materials and if
you have any questions, feel free to contact Lindi Conover-Thompson at
918-253-4683, extension 127 or lconover@neocaa.org.
or John Ann Thompson at jthompson@neocaa.org.
Remember! January 23, 2020 is the day to think
about the homeless in our region and assist them by helping us. Complete your surveys indicating the number
of homeless individuals in your community/at your agency on that day! Return
completed surveys via email to lconover@ neocaa.org, fax to (918)253-6059 or
return via regular mail to P.O. Box 603, Jay,
OK 74346.

Jeanetta Lu Sunday
December 29, 1941 - January 11, 2020
Obituary for Jeanetta Lu Sunday
Jeanetta
Lu Sunday, loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister,
passed away peacefully, in her bed early Saturday morning January 11th,
2020 at her home in Tahlequah, she was 78. She was born on Monday,
December 29, 1941 to Homer and Mattie Davidson in Checotah, OK. Jeanetta
grew up on the family farm south of Checotah on Texanna Rd. She
attended Checotah Public Schools graduating from Checotah High School in
1959. After high school she moved to Tahlequah, OK where she attended
Northeastern State University and soon after married Nick Sunday.
Jeanetta and Nick traveled a lot, having 2 children along the way. Nick Jr. was born in Tahlequah in 1960 and daughter Kim was born in Kansas in 1962. Soon after, they lived in Tulari, Californina for a brief time before returning to Oklahoma in 1966.
Jeanetta was very bright and had many talents. She worked for the Tahlequah Pictorial Press News Paper for a few years, then worked for Green Leaf Nursery in the 70’s, while she also managed the Barren Fork Motocross track in Welling. Soon after she worked for Joe Enlow as a CPA. She spent most of her years in Tahlequah working for Wilma Mankiller at Cherokee Nation.
She was divorced from Nick Sunday in 1980 and remained unmarried for the rest of her life. However, she never divorced the Sunday family. Many of her sisters-in-laws have remained her best friends throughout her life.
Jeanetta continued to hone her skills as an accountant and book keeper, she took these skills to Tulsa, where she worked for E&I sales as the company Comptroller. She lived in Bixby, Ok where she attended Bethany Baptist Church in Broken Arrow, OK. She was a member of the choir and sang annually in the Living Christmas Tree.
In the last 5 years of her life, she began to slow down as she moved back to Tahlequah to be near more of her family, especially her great- grandchildren. She continued to work part time as an office Manager for her Grandson Trae Ratliff at his insurance agency.
Jeanetta had many hobbies which included singing, cooking, sewing, and quilting. Although what she loved the most was immersing herself into the lives of her grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren. She was selfless with her time, advice, hugs, support and her love. She even helped build a Habitat for Humanity home for a close family friend.
Jeanetta was preceded in death by her parents; her brothers, Harley, Earl, Pete, and Garland; Her sisters, Aileen, Faye, Pearl, and Betty. She is lovingly survived by her daughter Kim Chance and her husband Troy of Dallas Texas; Her son Nick Sunday Jr and his wife Laurie of Haymarket Virginia.
