On April 19, 1949 Tooter married Billy Walker "Ike" Duke at Wheeler, Texas. To this union three children were born, Jeannie Duke Wesner, Bill Duke and Bob Duke.

She was preceded in death by her parents Clell and Ella Wynn; her sisters, Laura Jo Riley, June Defibaugh and Nona Paz; her brother, Wayne "Peck" Wynn; her husband of 49 years, Ike and her daughter, Jeannie.

She is survived by her son Bill of Reydon, Oklahoma; caughter-in-law Phyllis Duke of Anadarko, Oklahoma; son Bob and Jerry Watson of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; three granddaughters and two grandsons-in-law, Angie and Kyle Ivey of Hammon, Oklahoma; Kari and Robbie Robertson of Tuttle, Oklahoma; and Jenna Duke of Anadarko, Oklahoma; one great granddaughter Katelyn Ivey; three great grandsons, Korbin Ivey, and Garrett and Grant Robertson; and her sisters, Lois "Shag" Linville of Hammon, Oklahoma; Margaret Lee Nelson of Sunray, Texas; and one brother Hugh "Bud" Wynn of Spring, Texas; along with many other nieces, nephews, in laws and friends.

Tooter was the 5th of eight children born to Clell and Ella Clift Wynn.

She attended Carpenter school and graduated from Hammon High School in 1949.

She lived her entire life in Roger Mills county, the majority of it in Reydon community where she was baptized into the Church of Christ.

She got her nickname from her Daddy Clell and it stuck with her thru her entire life.

Tooter grew up on a farm and being one of eight children in rural western Oklahoma worked her entire life. As a young girl she milked cows, worked in the cotton fields chopping and picking cotton.

She often reminisced about her childhood and what a good life it was growing up in a loving family. For most of her life she lived and worked on a farm.

She was an excellent cook and often would cook for those who worked for her and Ike. She also was a cook for a brief time at Reydon Public School where she learned her bread recipe that she also used for her wonderful cinnamon rolls.

Most of her life was spent as a Mother and housewife but she also worked outside of the home.

Later in life she helped to run the family oil and gas business in Cheyenne. I

In her free time she liked to do needlework, making various things.

When she lost her eyesight a few years ago she didn't get down, she said it was just another hurdle that she had to work around.

Tooter lived her last few months on this earth at the Sayre hospital adult living center under the care of the loving staff there.

She will be greatly missed here on earth but is now in a better place.

Services were held Saturday, April 16, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. at Reydon Community Building officiated by Don Nelson and Tim Caillouette.
