DAVIS FAMILY
FUNERAL HOME
DEWEY, WASHINGTON CO, OK
(permission granted)
Kenneth E. Cantrel, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and lifelong
resident of Bartlesville, OK, died Wednesday in Bartlesville after 89
fulfilling years.
Kenneth “Pete” was born the son of James Clarence and Beulah Eraedna
(Spears) Cantrel on December 22, 1927, in Bartlesville. He was educated
in the Bartlesville schools, graduating from College High in 1946.
Shortly after, Pete was united in marriage with his sweetheart Bertha L.
Dye on June 16, 1946, in Kansas. They made their home in Bartlesville
and Pete worked at a local service station before starting his 40-plus
year career with Phillips Petroleum Co. During his time with Phillips
Pete worked at the Research Center where his kids remembered visiting
him in the lab. Later he travelled the eastern U.S. checking the
effectiveness of Phillips Bird Repellent systems at local and
international airports. Pete retired at age 55 and at that time was
working with the hazardous waste incinerator operated by the company.
After his retirement Bertha and Pete travelled the country visiting
state parks and playing golf.
Pete was a good husband, father and provider. He kept busy with work and
had many side jobs in retirement which included house painting, cabinet
making and working the local car wash in Dewey. He also had his own farm
and raised cattle. Although Bertha tended the flower gardens Pete kept a
vegetable garden, planted fruit trees and maintained his pecan trees.
Fishing for crappie and catfish was his favorite pastime, in his younger
years golf and hunting took up much of his time. Pete was outgoing, fun
and an avid mall walker. He was deeply loved and will be dearly missed.
Pete is survived by his loving wife of the home Bertha; three children
Jeannette Davis of Onalaska, TX, Brenda Coover and Ray of Houston, and
Kyle Cantrel and Tara of West Columbia, TX; seven grandchildren,
Michael, Stacey, Brian, Kim, Kylee, Britney and Kyle E.; seven great
grandchildren, Roxanne, Christian, Lisa, Casher, Aspen, Nora and
Isabella; plus numerous nieces, nephews and other family.
He is preceded
in death by his parents, one brother Walter Cantrell, and two sisters
Bernice Matix and Inez Bratten.
