Thelma Mae Musick was born in Oklahoma City on September 6, 1946 to William Edward Hopkins and Minnie Elizabeth (Bailey) Hopkins. As a child her neighborhood playmates called her Baby. As she grew that was shortened to “Babe”, which stuck, and throughout life most people only knew her as Babe.
She attended and graduated from Putnam City High School. Her church affiliation was Assembly of God. She was a lifelong member of Airport Assembly of God (now Triumph Family Worship). She had various jobs as a young woman. She worked for O'Mealy's Cafeteria and then worked as a welder on computer boards for General Electric. Then she started to work at a day care. She loved the children she cared for so much. She worked many years for the Oklahoma County election board.
She met William “Bill” Musick in 1968. They attended church together. Bill was in the Air Force and he and Babe corresponded during his deployment to Japan. Bill enjoyed roller skating and upon his return she joined right in with him. They fell in love and were married on June 20, 1969.
Babe was preceded in death by her husband Bill, her parents, and sister and brother in law, Alma and Robert Wilson.
She is survived by her sister and brother in law, Bonnie and Gary Taylor. Also, Bills brother, Sam Musick. Nephews, Johhny Taylor and his wife Kori, David Taylor and his wife Stephanie, Danny Taylor and his wife Leeann. Robert (Bobby) Wilson and his fiancé Krista. Niece, Cathy Hedges and her husband, Don.
