Oneta was born November 20, 1942 to Leroy Gallagher and Opal Burdell Middleton Richardson in Claunch, NM. She was a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, VFW, Serenity Club, and Washington Avenue Fellowship Church. She was a workaholic, loved to clean, but above all loved to get her family together. If anyone asked how Oneta wanted to be remembered she would say: “I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life but I’ve always loved my “children”, grandchildren, and family friends with all my heart. First and foremost I love praise and thank the Lord for his son Jesus who died for my sins and the many blessings he has given me.” Those left behind to cherish her memory are her children: Jeff Hargrove of Roswell, Stan Jordan and fiancé Amanda of Hobbs, NM, Cindy Fillmore of ABQ, and Sandra Fillmore of San Diego, CA; sister Karen Lightfoot of Roswell; brother Gayland Gallagher of Roswell; and seven grandchildren: Kalli, Cyerva and Ryan Hargrove, Michael and Seth Jordan, Sara Fillmore, and Brandy Dennis. She was preceded in death by her parents, two brothers Cal Gallagher and WD Gallagher, two sisters Jean Allensworth and Doris Gallagher, and her husband Jimmy Hargrove. Pallbearers will be Ross Allensworth, Ronnie Allensworth, Tim Hale, Michael Jordan, Gayland Hargrove, and Bill Martin.

Arrangements are under the direction of Anderson Bethany Funeral Home and Crematory. To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me While I am gone release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do. You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears. Be happy that we had so many beautiful years. I gave to you my love. You can only guess How much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown. But now it's time I traveled on alone. To grieve for me a while if grieve you must. Then let your grief be comforted by trust, It's only a while that we must part, To bless the memories within your heart. I won't be far away, for life goes on, So if you need me, call and I will come, Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near. And if you listen with your heart, You'll hear all my love around you soft and clear, And then when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and say... "WelcomeHome"
