Myrtle Melody Bullock came into this world January 24, 1929, by her parents, Joe Miller Davis and Minnie Jewel (Johnston) Davis in the small town of Ringold, Oklahoma. Myrtle passed away in Hugo, Oklahoma at her home on December 13, 2015, surrounded by family. Myrtle may no longer be with us in person and a part of us has gone with her, but everything she has taught us, her love for us, and the memories will last a lifetime.
Myrtle has gone and done things that others could only dream of, whether it be gardening in California with the warm sun on her face, fishing, hunting, mining gold, being a co-owner of a construction business, being a member of the Lost Cherokee Tribe, playing on a bowling league, or buying airplanes in Florida and sold them in Alaska. She did it all. She sat beside both of her husbands in a bush plane in Alaska and as a rancher in Oklahoma.
Being a house wife and a mother to her five kids, she didn’t work for just one person; she worked for everyone. Myrtle was a woman of many colors. Myrtle is preceded in death by her parents, both of her husbands, Fred Hubert Stanford and Walter Bullock, Jr., and three brothers: Lynn Davis, Virgle Davis, and James Davis.
She is survived by five children, Judith Lentz and husband, Martin, of Juneau, AK, Deborah Stanford of Hugo, OK, Joe Stanford of Hugo, OK, Robert Norman Bullock and wife, Jennifer, of Fairview, TX, and Rickie Bullock and wife, Amber, of Show Low, AZ; one brother, George Davis and wife, Joan, of Mount Pleasant, TX; five sisters, Hattie Harmon, Hellen Fennel, Darleen White, and Claudia Tom and husband, Raymond, all of Hugo, OK, and Jewel Stubbs of Hamlet, NC; fourteen grandchildren, Roy Johnston and wife, Suzanne, of Juneau, AK, Shawna Durling and husband, Gary, of Juneau, AK, Michael Stanford and wife, Susan, of Anchorage, AK, Gale White and husband, Bob, and Tommy Stanford, all of Wasilla, AK, Darrel Weatherford of Campbell, TX, Dana Starr and husband, Brandon, of Messer, OK, Megan, Jennie, and Page Bullock and Alexis and Fallon Simmons, all of Fairview, TX; twelve great-grandchildren, Cassandra Johnson of Juneau, AK, Danielle Durling, Emily Durling, Juston Durling and Claire Durling all of Juneau, AK, Demmie and Kalea Weatherford of Campbell, TX, Brooklyn Starr of Messer, OK, Ashley and Chevelle Stanford of Anchorage, AK, and Jennifer and Kristy Bullock of Show Low, AZ; and a host of nieces, nephews and friends.
