Mangum, Oklahoma will be at the First United Methodist Church, Mangum, at 10
a.m., on Monday, July 20, 2015 with Pastor Marsha Purtell and Pastor Daryl
Coffman officiating. Burial will be at the Roselawn Cemetery, Mangum, with

Bob passed away Thursday, July 16, 2015, at his residence, in Mangum.
Bob was born in Gadsden, Alabama on April 1, 1938, to William Bert and Marie (Perrotto)
Gullion. Bob joined the United States Air Force in 1956, where he proudly served
his country for six years. On May 3, 1960, Bob married the love of his life,
Lois Jean “Jeanne” Heavener, in Altus, and they spent the next forty-seven
wonderful years together before her death on July 19, 2007. While stationed at
Altus Air Force Base, Bob and Jeanne made their home in Mangum. Following his
discharge, Bob was employed at Mangum Brick for many years and later worked at
Republic Gypsum, where he retired. An expert wielder and carpenter, Bob could do
just about anything with his hands. Many buildings around Greer County bare his
handiwork, especially the hundreds of carports he constructed for his neighbors.
In 2007, Bob began working for Greer Funeral Home, continuing to serve his
fellow man, as was his character. He enjoyed reading westerns and mystery
novels, working in his shop and visiting friends. A longtime member of the First
United Methodist Church of Mangum, the Lions Club and the American Legion, Bob
will be missed by the community who loved him and whom he loved.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his beloved wife, Jeanne; five
brothers, Lanny Gullion, Fred Gullion, Howard Gullion, Bill Gullion and Jack
Gullion and a son-in-law, Jerry Dossey.
Bob is survived by, three daughters, Marilyn Dossey of Shawnee, Virginia Ann and
husband Allen Brock of Norman, OK and Denise “Deedi” and husband David Watson of
Edmond, OK.; six grandchildren, Phillip Fooks of Fort Worth, Sheri and husband
Brett Womble of Ruskin, Florida, Justin Short and wife Melisa of Norman, Steven
