this Earth for a much better home in Heaven on July 4th, 2021. She passed away
under the wonderful care of the staff of St. Mary’s Hospital in Enid, Oklahoma.
Mary was born March 29, 1944 to Frank and Bessie Lockhart in Bristow Oklahoma.
She was the only daughter of 5 children. She grew up poor, but it made her
strong. Being the only girl, it was more important to teach the boys so she
never learned to drive, but that never stopped her.
She graduated from Quay High School in 1962. After graduation she got a job and
moved to Stillwater, OK. where she met and married her first husband, Robert
(Bobby) Reeves Sr. She moved to Pawnee, OK. and together they had 3 children and
she worked helping with her husband’s carpentry business. In ‘78 she cared for
him until his passing from cancer. She then remarried, but separated shortly
after. Mary worked hard the rest of her life to care for her children and
grandchildren on her own. Her children were her greatest achievement.
Mary cared for many in her life. She babysat for numerous friends and family.
Her house was the place to be. Her children’s friends and cousins loved to
gather and hang out at her house, it was home to many. Through the years she
took in and cared for several nieces and nephews. She was known as MOM to so
many besides just her biological children. After her children were grown, Mary
could be found with her friends. If she was not home her children just needed to
call Mary, Martha, or Cindy to find her.
One of her greatest loves and joys of her life was her grandchildren and great
grandchildren. She loved to entertain them, from grandma coffee in the morning
to rides on her walker. She had something special with each and has left a mark
on their lives forever. She will be greatly missed by them all.
