Timothy Wayne Atkins, lifelong Bartlesville resident, age 62 was home
when he died late Saturday, April 28.
Timothy was born July 5, 1955, to Willard Lee and Melba Lee Atkins of
Bartlesville. Tim was born early morning July 5th and his mother always
told him he was a delayed firecracker. He was raised in the area,
attending local schools and graduated from College High School in 1975.
He loved playing basketball with friends. For a time, he moved to
Sarasota, Florida, and worked for Wal-Mart Distribution. When he moved
back to the area, he went to work at the Wal-Mart Bartlesville store for
several years, before joining Albertson’s which later became Food
Pyramid. He worked in its fresh produce department for many years before
retiring as Produce Manager in February 2017.
From a young age, Tim was always a jokester. He enjoyed spending time
with his family and friends, entertaining them with his shenanigans.
Oftentimes when pulling pranks on them, he would just grin widely. He
also enjoyed collecting Mattel miniature cars. He dated Wendy Neumann (Loriaux)
for many years and they were united in marriage May, 27, 2014. He worked
with his father- and mother-in-law on the Silver Lake Farm, raising
cattle, horses and produce. Tim loved life on the farm. He will be
missed by his family, in-laws, and friends.
Timothy is survived by his wife Wendy Neumann-Atkins and three children,
Angel Marie Atkins of Claremore, OK, William Lee Atkins of Apollo Beach,
FL, and Christopher Andrew Atkins of Bartlesville; three step children,
Brandan Van, Christian Neumann and Lillian Neumann and one grandson
Tanner Lee Dougherty of Bartlesville; as well as his mother Melba Lee
Atkins; and sister Rebecca Lea McClure & husband Sam McClure of
Bartlesville; mother-in-law Pam Loriaux and a host of nieces and
nephews.
