Our mother was born on a farm near Lovell,
Oklahoma, 25 October 1931. Her parents were Urby
and Gertrude Staggs. She went to school at
Marshall and Hennessey High School, where she
graduated with the class of 1949. On 3 May 1950,
she married our dad Leonard Fuksa. They moved to
Enid in 1960.
Mom worked at several different jobs, including
One Hour Martinizing, TG&Y, Tasty Freeze, and
Kmart. She enjoyed all the friendships she made
while she was employed. She tried to keep in
touch with friends until she was no longer able
to.
After daddy died in 1997, mom decided she wanted
to spend the rest of her life with Wilfred
Vaverka in Independence, Kansas. They enjoyed
many years together.
Mom is survived by her children, Judy Diel and
Jim, Kaye Hudgens and Donnie; and grandchildren
who gave her great joy: Zach and wife Tamika,
Melissa and husband Darrol, Makayla and husband
Derrick; great-grandchildren: Ryan and William
Bonniksen, Libby Booze, Cooper Shreck, and
Jessica Troutt and husband Jonathan.
A graveside service will be 10:30 a.m. 8
September 2018, at the Hennessey Cemetery, next
to daddy.
A Celebration of Love will be held at
Brown-Cummings Recreation House, 418 W. Maple,
Enid, OK. It is right next door to the funeral
home. Please come join us.
Mom was preceded in death by her parents,
husband Leonard, seven brothers and sisters.
Mom and Dad enjoyed all of their friends so
much. They were active in square dancing,
bowling, boating and Saturday night card
parties.
We want to thank everyone who contributed to
their wonderful life. Love, Judy and Kaye.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the
Drummond Band Boosters, P.O. Box 265, Drummond,
OK 73735.
