Mrs. Lola Parker Dean, born December 12, 1910, to Sherd and Ribbi (Harrison) Parker, worked with twelve siblings and parents on a farm east of Porter, Oklahoma where she developed her strong work ethics. She attended the community one-room community school of Harrison Chapel and graduated Eighth grade. She returned to the farm but had a deep desire to continue her education. After two years, she traveled to Muskogee to continue her education at Manual Training High School and graduated. Lola went back to the farm; back to work where they needed her more, worked hard, prayed, and believed God would provide a way. Time passed and she continued her education at Langston University where she earned a teaching certificate.
