George was born on September 11, 1923 to George and Clara (Stalman) Heppler on
the family farm Southeast of Perry. He attended school through the 8th grade and
had a great love for school and learning. At the age of 18, George wanted to
serve his country proudly in the United States Army. George served as a Glider
Mechanic and achieved the rank of Staff Sergeant, and was honorably discharged
in 1946.
George met the love of his life, Doris Lee Sheets, and married her on December
26, 1947. Once married, they moved to Ponca City and George took a job at a
local Chevrolet car dealership for a short period. George was then hired at
Conoco Oil Company and worked as a pump doctor until his retirement after 35
years in 1983.
George and Doris raised three children Marilyn, Gerald, and Ken. George was
always very proud and supported his children in anything they did and wanted
them to have a good education.
While retired, George built a home on the family farm in Perry. George was
always passionate about gardening. He planted and grew more than 250 pecan trees
at one time. He built a green house and spent many hours and was especially
proud of his orchids.
George was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend.
He will be missed by all who knew him.
George is preceded in death by his parents, George and Clara (Stalman) Heppler,
one brother, Herold Heppler; one sister, Clara Gottschalk.
