Obituary for Johnny Lyndol Wells
Johnny
Lyndol Wells was born on December 23, 1934, in Lincoln County near
Chandler, Oklahoma, to William Jay Wells and Laura Tennie (Smith) Wells.
His father was a farmer and his mother was a school teacher. He went to
first grade in Sparks, Oklahoma. Johnny and his family lived there
until 1942 when they moved to Lawton, Oklahoma, when he was eight years
old.
He attended school there until they moved to El Reno in 1945. Johnny graduated from El Reno High School in 1952 and attended El Reno Junior College for two years. He married Darlene Louise Nance on September 9, 1955, at Trinity Baptist Church in El Reno, Oklahoma.
Johnny's first job was a 'soda jerk' at Peabody Creamery in El Reno.
He then worked for Safeway Grocery Store in El Reno where he became produce manager. The Safeway store burned in 1956. It was then he went to work for Phillips Petroleum Company in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and completed his working career in the Research and Development Department as a Research Lab Technician. He was blessed to have many special projects during his time in R&D. He worked with a scientist who developed a de-icer which is still used to de-ice airplanes today. Another special project was chrome plating plastics. He has a patent in his name for a process he developed for that. He retired in 1991.
One of the most favorite times of his life was when he and Louise retired and moved to Bullet Mountain on Lake Tenkiller in 1994. He loved to fish, enjoyed boating and the great outdoors, continued with his woodworking, spent a lot of time with his grandchildren, and enjoyed sharing it all with his family and friends. In 2008, because of health reasons, the Wells built a home in Tahlequah and moved into town where he lived until passing from this world.
Johnny accepted Christ as his Savior when he was nine years old during Vacation Bible School at First Central Baptist Church in Lawton, Oklahoma. He was also baptized in that church. Johnny's primary Spiritual gift from God was teaching. He was a teacher all of his adult life- children, youth, young marrieds, and adults in his own age group. Here are First Baptist he taught Adult II Sunday School for 18 years. He was ordained Deacon in 1970 at Virginia Avenue Baptist Church in Bartlesville , Oklahoma, and served the Lord in that way ever since. He has served as Chairman of Deacons many times and was in that capacity here at First Baptist when he had his strokes in 2013. He has always been an example of right living to his wife and family and all those he came in contact with.
Aside from God and family, Johnny's life long love has been woodworking. He took shop in his freshman year of high school. We still have pieces he made back then. through the years, he continued this passion and created many beautiful wood pieces both for himself and Louise and for family and friends. Most of the wood furniture in his home is his creation. He loved designing - maybe even better than building. He kept files on all the patterns he created. Some of his most recent accomplishments were wooden boxes for his grandchildren and great grandchildren. Johnny continued to do woodworking and stained glass up to the time he passed from this world.
Johnny was a very quiet man but his feelings ran deep for his family. He was a loving, loyal and dedicated husband, father, grandfather, brother, and son.
He was preceded in death by his parents, William Jay and Tennie Wells and his grandson, Jayson Clayton Keys.
He is survived by his of 64 years, Louise Wells; a daughter, Kimi Keys and her husband Jay of Ramona, Oklahoma; son, Jay Wells and his wife Melinda, of Shawnee, Oklahoma; grandson Chance Wells; granddaughter-in-law, Rhenda Wells, of Sherman, Texas; and great grandchildren, Kyler Wells of Yukon, Oklahoma; Marissa Wells and Nevaeh Wells of Sherman, Texas; grandson, Kelsey Keys of Bartlesville, Oklahoma; great grandson C.J. Keys of Dewey, Oklahoma; great grandson, Jace Keys of Ramona, Oklahoma; granddaughter, Meghan Wells of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and granddaughter Kati Jacobs and her husband David of Ramona, Oklahoma; sister, Patricia Harris and her husband Mike of Plano, Texas; and sister, Ella Jean Smith of Myrtle Beach North, Carolina. Survivors also include numerous nephews, nieces, cousins and other extended family and many, many, friends. He was a truly blessed man.

Chapel with Reverend Charlie Shell officiating. Ray will be laid to rest

Alton Ray Duffield, better known as Ray, was born August 8th, 1932 in Moodys, OK, the son of Eli and Mollie (Chaudoin) Duffield. He was raised around the Tahlequah area, after graduated high school, would go on to join the United States Navy. He proudly served his country as a Seaman First Class aboard the Hector AR 7, a repair ship that did repairs up and down the Korean coast as well as the California coast and the WestPac cruises, winning the Battle efficiency Plaque in both 1954 and 1955.he served honorably beginning in January 11th, 1952 until April 10th, 1956, and reserves from 1956 until 1958. He later began a career in the oil industry for Poole Oil Company as a rough neck, working long, hard hours on a job he loved. Ray’s true joy in life was his family. He married Betty Ann Thompson in Miami, OK in 1962 and this union was blessed with seven children, four sons and three daughters, David, James, Ronald, Charles, Margaret, Mary Kaye, and Jimmie Diane. Ray always kept his hands busy, whether tinkering around the in yard or tending to his garden, raising vegetables and the most beautiful tomatoes. Everyone loved to gather round to hear war stories of his time in the Navy, like any good sailor, the stories became a bit dramatic, but it made for really interesting stories. Playing dominoes or hanging out at the local VFW was a few of his favorite pastimes, spending time with his fellow servicemen. Ray was always full of life, cracking jokes and letting his ornery steak shine. There was nothing like time spent with family, especially surrounded by his best friends, his grandchildren. Of course, he couldn’t get far without his Canine sidekick, Pearl. He never missed an opportunity to join for a family gathering, some holiday festivities, good food and grandchildren. This loving father and grandfather passed from this life on Thursday, December 12th, 2019 in Tahlequah, OK at the age of 87. He leaves a vacant chair that can never be filled.

Obituary - Neal Edwin Dillard Sr February 27, 1950 - November 19, 2019
Neal Edwin Dillard Sr
February 27, 1950 - November 19, 2019
Neal Edwin Dillard Sr was born in Stilwell, Oklahoma on February 27,
1950, the first son, and 6th child of 8 to Ellis and Lois Dillard. He
grew up in “East Peavine” Adair County and enjoyed typical country kid
activities but was best at plotting and carrying our various torments
against his 6 sisters and one baby brother.
Neal’s fondness
for hunting and horses was established early on-it was a love that
continued thru his life and passed on to his family for generations.
Neal graduated from Stilwell High School and then Okmulgee Vo-Tech in
1970 with an associates degree in Auto Mechanics. He proved to be a
master mechanic, and the go to person for Ford diesels in Cherokee
County for the rest of his life. If you had a problem with your Ford,
Neal could fix it.
In 1975 Neal met a “cute blonde” from
Welling, Oklahoma and he and Billie Kay Clay were wed on December 23,
1977. Neal surrendered to the call of God and began preaching the gospel
in 1988. He served as pastor of Drycreek Baptist and later Etta Baptist
in the Welling Community. Neal was known far and wide as an evangelist
and had a music ministry with wife Billie and daughter Deanna. Too many
weekends to count were spent singing and preaching all over Eastern
Oklahoma and Western Arkansas.
Neal proved adept at any work
or hobby he undertook and his proficiency as a mechanic, passion for
coon hunting, team roping skills and uncanny ability to engage in
“trading” made him a man highly sought after for these skills and many,
many others.
Neal gave freely of his time, and many a kid,
nephew, niece, friend and stranger was the recipient of Neal’s teaching
and instruction.
With the birth of his first grandchild in
2002 he became a “Papa” a role he treasured. Papa Neal taught and
encouraged and flat out spoiled every grandchild he had. The last years
of his life were spent passing his wisdom with horses on to his
grandkids, and Papa was the loudest cheerleader and most avid bragger at
the junior rodeos all spring and summer. He was so proud to know his
legacy has continued.
Neal was preceded in death by his
parents; one sister, Reba Anderson; one niece, Lynette Monks; and one
nephew, Wesley Anderson.
Those left to treasure his memory
include his wife, Billie of the home; daughter, Charlotte Dillard of
Stilwell, Oklahoma; son, Neal Dillard II and wife Lindsey of Tahlequah,
Oklahoma and daughter Deanna and husband Roy Lowrey of Welling,
Oklahoma.
Papa Neal is forever treasured in the hearts of his
grandchildren, Marissa, Scott, Alexandra, Shawn. Rhea, Michael, Aubrie,
and Bryley Dillard, Emma Grace (baby doll) and Gavin (G-man) Dillard,
and William, Nathan and Chase (Pork chop) Lowrey.
He is loved by
his five sisters Lola Fleig, Norma Dillard, Avonne Monks and husband
Frank, Sammy Tidwell, Bonnie Jones and husband Steve; and one brother,
Lynn Dillard; as well as many other family members, friends, and loved
ones; and one very special, long time, and faithful roping horse
“Money”.
A special thank you is extended to Leesia Kirk, Keith
and Stephanie Kirk, Kurtis Kirk and Kevin Kirk for their presence and
support during Neal’s hospitalization. We also want to extend a thank
you to the staff of Carter Hospice in Tahlequah for ensuring Neal’s
journey to Heaven was peaceful and with dignity.
