Ocelene is one of my favorite people in this world. In the 50s and 60s my grandmother had to have help with her four children because her husband was in the military. Ocelene was recruited to assist my grandmother in making sure dinner was ready for the children every night, while keeping her company on the days her husband was away. Ocelene soon became famous with the children for her irresistible rolls. She started making them in bulk and freezing the extras. Ocelene stayed with my grandmother through the years to watch my grandmother's children grow into adults, for the birth of her grandchildren and even the death of her husband. Ocelene is now the lovely age of 86, and is still my grandmother's best friend. Unfortunately, Ocelene can no longer create her rolls as she is immobile due to her health, but the Williamson family will always have a special place in their heart for Ocelene's Famous Rolls. Happy Holidays and let us give thanks for all the 'Ocelenes' in our life this season! - Table9
