Lita Sue Hendricks, age 84 and former resident of Bartlesville, Oklahoma,
passed away on Monday, January 23, 2017, in Ft. Worth, Texas.
Lita Sue Allton was born on August 31, 1932 in Claremore, Oklahoma. She was
the daughter of Richard Vincent Allton and Ruth Elizabeth (Reeve) Allton. At
an early age, the family moved to the Dewey, Oklahoma community where she
received her education. She attended the Blue Mound school, grades one
through three, which was east of Dewey. She then attended Dewey public
schools , graduating with the 1950 Sr. graduation class of Dewey. She was
active in many areas of school, particularly playing the clarinet as a
member of the marching band. During her high
school years, she was named "Band Queen". In Bartlesville, Lita was
employed with Phillips Petroleum Company and was a loyal employee for many
years. At the time of her retirement, she was a Telecommunication
Supervisor. She married Steve Hendricks in Dewey, Oklahoma and they made
their home in Bartlesville where they raised their two daughters, Susan
Lynette and Sharon Denise.
While her health permitted, Lita was a very active and faithful member of
The Bible Church of Bartlesville.
Steve preceded Lita in death in 1986 and she continued her residence in
Bartlesville until the death of her daughter Susan in 2011, when she moved
to Texas to be near her daughter, Sharon, and her family. Lita had been in
ill health for a number of years. She will be dearly missed, not only by
family, but by the many friends and acquaintances she had as a result of her
years in the Bartlesville and Dewey area and her employment at Phillips.
