BARTLESVILLE EXAMINER-ENTERPRISE
BARTLESVILLE, WASHINGTON CO, OK
(permission granted)
Carl E. Jordan, age 86 and resident of
Clarkridge, Arkansas, passed away on Saturday,
October 21, 2017 in Clarkridge.
Carl Edward Jordan was born August 17, 1931 in
Ochelata, Oklahoma. He was the son of Donald
Staten Jordan and Vivian Verda (Roe) Jordan
Clements. He was raised in the Ochelata area
where he received his early education. He was a
graduate of the 1949 Sr. Class of Ochelata High
School. Carl furthered his education by
attending Bartlesville Business School on
scholarship. He continued his college education
throughout the years, completing his bachelor's
degree in May of 1985 from Oklahoma State
University, at the same time as his youngest
daughter, Brenda Phillips.
On May 5, 1951, Carl married Betty Jo Workmon in
the United Methodist Church in Ochelata. They
had been high school sweethearts. Three children
were born to this union, Edward, Carla, and
Brenda. Their first home was in Bartlesville,
later moving to Kansas City, Kansas and then on
to the Stillwater area. In 1998, they moved to
Okay, Oklahoma. Betty preceded Carl in death in
June of 2014. They were living in Ft. Gibson,
Oklahoma at that time. They had been married for
63+ years prior to her death. Shortly
thereafter, Carl moved to Clarkridge, Arkansas
to live with his daughter, Brenda.
Carl was employed with Oklahoma State University
as Supervisor of Student Data prior to his
retirement. Over the years, he and Betty had
been members of the Perkins Methodist Church and
the Stillwater Methodist Church. Carl had many
interests, some of which were canoeing, road
trips, reading (especially Louis L'Amour books),
country music, and watching his grandchildren
practice and compete in sports and
extracurricular activities. However, his family
was what gave him the most enjoyment. He will be
missed by not only family, but by many, many
friends and acquaintances.
He is survived by his children, Edward J. Jordan
and his wife, Linda, of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma,
Carla J. Evans and her husband, Steve, of
Paradise Hill, Oklahoma, and Brenda G. Phillips
and her husband, David, of Clarkridge, Arkansas;
eight grandchildren, Niki and Shane Atherton of
Alpine, California, Bethany and Denzal Zarinelli
of Wichita, Kansas, Rebecca Evans of Siloam
Springs, Arkansas, Jenny and Brent Akin of
Claremore, Oklahoma, Amy and Jeremiah Schnell of
Denver, Colorado, Charlie, Alexander and Elisa
Phillips of Clarkridge, Arkansas; and three
great-grandchildren, Nevea, Brooke and Trinity
Atherton of Alpine, California.
He was preceded in death by his parents and
step-parents; his wife, Betty; and three half
brothers, Joe Jordan, Patrick Jordan, and Harry
Horrocks.
