They made their home in Hulbert, OK where together, they raised two sons, Dwayne and Larry, and one daughter, Mary Kay. Mary had a passion for helping those around her. Whether it was cooking Sunday dinner for her family, working in the hay fields or as a teacher’s aide for many years at Lost City, where the children affectionately called her Mrs. Mary, she was always willing to step up and give of herself. And even after a hard day of working in the fields she still would have dinner ready on the stove for everyone when the work was done for the day. She enjoyed cooking and always cooked for everyone who came to her home, and she made the best coleslaw, fried potatoes, macaroni & cheese and chicken & dumplings. Her door was always open to anyone in need of a loving home and a warm meal. Mary knew the value of a good tip, having worked as a waitress when she was younger. She always loved to garden and would grow vegetables and flowers that were enjoyed by her and her family. She always loved supporting her children and grandchildren whether it was at rodeos, ball games, talent competitions or livestock shows. On August 8, 2010, she gave her life to God and was baptized. She was active in Bible Studies at Spring Valley Freewill Baptist Church, where she thoroughly enjoyed her small church home.
