ENID, Okla. — Frances Jean Douglas went on to be with the Lord on Sunday, June 22, 2014, in Tulsa, Okla., at the age of 85 years. Jean was born Aug. 21, 1928, east of Waukomis in Garfield County, Okla., to Frank A. Snow and Frances Ora (Peggy) Bennett.
She graduated from Pioneer High School in 1946, where she played basketball, pitched on the softball team and met the love of her life, Glenford Morris Douglas.
After graduation, Jean traveled by bus to Memphis, Tenn., where Glen was stationed with the U.S. Navy. As Glen tells the story, Jean arrived at one bus station and he was waiting for her across the street at the other station. They did eventually find each other and were married in Memphis on June 11, 1946, after being granted special permission by the judge, because Jean was not yet 18. The next year, they were blessed with their first child James, and later by two daughters, Karen and Joan. Jean was a loving wife and mother, and faithfully served her family with her many talents and patient demeanor.
In addition to her devotion to her family, Jean was employed outside the home at various times, working for the Enid Morning News, and in Tulsa at Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Hillcrest Hospital and Crane Carrier. Jean was a member of Grace Baptist Church in Owasso.
Jean is survived by her husband, Glen of the home; her children, James Douglas, Karen Roper and Joan Swope; six grandchildren; six great-grandchildren; her sister, Lois Dick; and a multitude of other relatives and friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents and one brother, Donald Snow.
Visitation for Jean will be today, June 25, 2014, at Mowery Funeral Service, Owasso, Okla., from 6-8 p.m. Funeral service will be 2 p.m. Thursday, June 26, at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Fairmont, Okla., with Pastor Tom Donaldson officiating. Burial will follow at Waukomis Cemetery, Waukomis, Okla.
Memorial contributions in Jean’s memory may be made to Bethlehem Baptist Church, 6206 S. 66th St., Enid, OK 73701-9639.
Arrangements and services have been entrusted to Mowery Funeral Service of Owasso. (www.mow eryfs.com)
