Carol Ann (Hendrix) Davis of Dewey passed away peacefully January 1,
2020 at the family home in Dewey.
Carol was born August 17, 1947 in Stigler, Oklahoma to Roy and Virginia
(Lefler) Hendrix. She was educated in Stigler and received her
associate's degree from Eastern State College in Wilburton where she
was actively involved in journalism. She received her BA in English and
Secondary Education at Northeastern State College in Tahlequah in 1969.
She married Robert (Bob) Davis on August 9, 1969 in Stigler. She
accepted a position at Rosedale Schools in Kansas City where she taught
junior high and high school English and served as editor of the school
publications. When Robert began attending the College of Veterinary
Medicine at Oklahoma State University, she worked for the college in the
Division of Public Information as 4-H Editor while attending graduate
school and helped launch the OSU Veterinary College magazine. When
Robert graduated, they moved to Ada where Robert accepted a position
with Ada Veterinary Clinic. In 1981, the family chose Dewey to be their
home and opened the Arrowhead Veterinary Clinic, which they owned until
their retirement in 2012. Carol served as business and office manager
for the Clinic. She was also active in the Veterinary Auxiliary while in
Stillwater as well as in Dewey and was awarded the Lillian Grossman
Outstanding Senior Wife award based on outstanding leadership and
contributions to the auxiliary, the home and the community. In the early
1980's Carol and Robert purchased the Dewey Herald where Carol served
as Editor and Manager. Carol was an active member of the First Baptist
Church of Dewey until her health condition made it impossible. Carol was
passionate about her love for the City of Dewey and actively
participated and organized fundraisers in many civic organizations
including Dewey Civic Association, Friends of the Dewey Library, Dewey
Library Board and Tom Mix Museum.
Carol was a dedicated wife and mother and served as medical advocate for
her family. She made friends everywhere and encouraged them to give back
to their community and their church and enjoy their families. She was a
gifted writer, loved having tea with her friends, following the lives
and adventures of her nephews and nieces as well as planning her next
project.
Carol is survived by her husband of 50 years, Robert, of the home; sons,
Jason of Dewey and Nathan of Bartlesville; sister, Mary (Kenneth) Fouts
of Copan; and brother, Troy (Donna) Hendrix of Stigler; as well as
