Susan Yvonne Rains, 76-year-old Thackerville, OK resident,
passed away while surrounded by her loving family on Wednesday,
September 4, 2024, at the OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, September
7, 2024, in the Flanagan-Watts Funeral Home Chapel with Pastor
Steve Davis officiating.
Immediately following, Susan will be
laid to rest beside her husband and mother at the Mt. Zion
Cemetery in Thackerville.
Visitation will be held from 6:00 p.m.
until 8:00 p.m. Friday at the funeral home.
Susan began this life on December 10, 1947, in Santa Rosa, CA,
the daughter of Blair and Anna (Hall) Mitchell. Soon after
graduating from high school, she attended cosmetology school and
owned her own hair salon. Susan served as the Town Clerk in
Thackerville for several years where she is credited for writing
the grant that brought the Thackerville Park playground to
fruition.
Susan was a very spiritual woman that took great pride in
praising her Lord and celebrating 50 years of being saved. On
occasion, she would speak at church, and she was also a singer
in the Sounds of Joy Band. Susan was very compassionate,
generous, and always willing to help. This was evident in the
fact that she cared for her father, mother, and husband in their
final years.
Susan loved doing craftwork, sewing, and crocheting. She also
took time to work on a puzzle or play her favorite card game on
Tuesdays with her "game gals and pals". Susan also looked
forward to time in the pool at her water aerobics class or on
the pickleball court. Over the years she traveled all over the
world to destinations such as Alaska, Germany, Hawaii, Israel,
Mexico, and New York. Susan was constantly on the go, but she
never passed up a single opportunity to spend time with her
grandchildren.
Susan was preceded in death by her parents; by her husband,
Jimmy Rains; and brother, Delvin Blair Mitchell.
Those left to
cherish her memory are her son, Travis Hamilton of Oakland, CA;
step-sons, Donald Rains and wife Dana of Thackerville and Weldon
Rains and wife Donna of Gainesville, TX; grandchildren, Caleb
Rains and wife Kayla of Thackerville, David Rains and wife
Shannon of Lubbock, TX, Brandon Ferguson of Fort Worth, TX, and
Ashley Knabe of Muenster, TX; sisters, Connie Limerick of Broken
Arrow, OK and Elaine Gilbreath of San Antonio, TX; and nieces,
Lisa Hoover of Broken Arrow and Jessi Ammons of Claremore, OK.
Casket bearers are Caleb Rains, James Ammons, Jeremiah Ammons,
Robbie Peyrot, Brandon Ferguson, and Yash Albazian. Honorary
bearers are Donald Rains, Weldon Rains, Jimmy Ammons, and the
Game Gals and Pals.
