Ola J. Banks, 88, died Tuesday, January 4, 2000, in Los Lunas. She had been a resident of Albuquerque since 1959, and was a member of Hoffmantown Church. Mrs. Banks was born on March 2, 1911 in Ft. Worth, TX and born again by faith in Jesus Christ in 1923. A 1928 graduate of Central High School (now R.L.
