Posted by: Ann Weber
Jack Lander Stubblefield, 91, long-time Bartlesville resident, passed
away peacefully on November 15, 2016, at home.
The family will be present for visitation from 12:30 p.m.-2:30 p.m. on
Friday, November 25, 2016, at Stumpff Funeral Home and Crematory, located at
1600 S.E. Washington Blvd., Bartlesville, OK 74006. A graveside service will
be at 3:00 p.m. Friday, November 25, at the Memorial Park Cemetery Mausoleum
with Dave Hammonds officiating.
Jack was born on July 28, 1925, in Carbon, TX, to Frank and Inus
(Ferguson) Stubblefield. As a youth, Jack assisted with the bookkeeping at
the family business, the Carbon Trading Company. He enjoyed basketball,
tennis, horseback riding, and working on his father's farm and ranch.
Graduating from high school at the age of 16, Jack attended Texas A&M
University at College Station, TX, where he was a member of the Corps of
Cadets for one year before entering into active service with the U.S. Army
in October 1943.
Jack was honorably discharged in the fall of 1945, after serving in the
35th Infantry Divisions, Battery A 161st Field Artillery Battalion. Jack was
awarded the EAME Campaign Medal with five bronze stars representing the
Battles of Normandy, Northern France, Ardennes (Battle of the Bulge),
Rhineland, and Central Europe. In addition, Jack received the Victory
Ribbon, two Overseas Service Bars, and the Good Conduct Medal.
After his military service, Jack returned to Texas A&M University and
graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting in August of 1947. Two
months later, he began his career with Phillips Petroleum Company in
Bartlesville as an Accountant with the Oil and Gas Division, until
retirement in 1985.
In March of 1948, Jack married his high school sweetheart, Olga
Underwood, after her graduation from North Texas State College.
While family-especially his grandchildren-was always Jack's primary
focus, he was also a person of varied interests and his curiosity and desire
to be challenged led him to seek-out new experiences and hobbies throughout
his life. Jack pursued outdoor activities such as boating and sailing,
fishing, camping, bicycling, tennis, golfing, and bird hunting-many enjoyed
from the family lake house located at Grand Lake. In addition, Jack enjoyed
traveling, investing, and photography. He was also a faithful Aggie football
fan.
Jack is survived by his wife of 68 years, Olga; daughters, Tana
Stubblefield Grogan and husband Steve Grogan of Bartlesville, and Ginny
Stubblefield of St. Petersburg, Florida. Also surviving, are grandchildren
Joshua Suggs of Plano, TX, Chelsea Grogan of Edmond, Oklahoma, and Ross
Grogan of Edmond, Oklahoma; and great-grandchildren, Taylor, Jackson, and
Collin Suggs of Plano, TX. He is survived by one brother, Mack Stubblefield,
of Carbon, TX, and numerous nieces and nephews.
