Loita Pettit or “Ust” as she was known to
her friends and family, began her life’s journey on June 6, 1934. She
was the daughter of Jack Pettit and Bessie Bushyhead Mico. Loita enjoyed
life to the fullest and never left any doubt about what she was
thinking. Being a little rowdy, she was always willing to speak her mind
regardless, which earned her the name “Jane Wayne” from her son. She
loved her family and spending time with her grandbabies. Loita was a
fabulous cook earning her yet another badge of honor, the “Cornbread
Lady”. She was most famous for her chili and Mexican cornbread. When she
wasn’t with her family or whipping up one of her amazing dishes, she
liked to work on arts and crafts of many kinds, even her hidden talent
of beautiful beadwork. This talented, spirited and very loved woman
passed from this life on January 29, 2020 at her home in Tahlequah, OK
at the age of 85. She was a truly remarkable lady that will be missed by
all.
Those that went before her include her parents, one daughter, Lola McCombs, four brothers, Calvin Baldridge, Willie Baldridge, Thomas Pettit, and Everett Ray, three sisters, Cinderella Pettit, Lizzy Daugherty, Virginia Baldridge, and many nieces and nephews.
She is survived by one son, George White and wife Barbara of Locust Grove, OK and one daughter, Gail Davis and husband James of Tahlequah, OK. Her legacy lives on through her five grandchildren, Jacob White and companion Misty Heathcoat, Brandon White and fiancée Samantha Stokes, Leta Cleveland, Thomas Cheater Jr., and Don Long and wife Cheryl, five great grandchildren, Jeremiah Cleveland and wife Sierra Cleveland-Wise of Tulsa, OK, Gunner Cleveland, and Josie Cleveland, and Nathan and Logan Long, two great great grandchildren, Eva Smith and Braelyn Long, as well as many friends and loved ones too numerous to mention.
