I have gone home to heaven to be with my Savior, Jesus Christ, on this August 2nd, 2015. I decided I wanted to write my own obituary before this glorious day to help my family at this difficult time.
I was born in Dacoma, Oklahoma, September 1, 1922, to my parents, Ernest and Pearl Walderich. My sister, Lois, was anxiously awaiting my arrival. I grew up in Dacoma, where I attended all 12 years of school, graduating in 1940. I then attended Northwestern Oklahoma State College in Alva for a semester where I was active in the music department. I married my high school love, Rex Davis, November 26, 1941, and moved to the farm near Dacoma to begin our life together. We were married almost 59 years before his death in 2000.
The biggest and happiest event Rex and I ever experienced was the birth of our precious daughter, Janice Deanne. We lived on the farm all of her growing up years. We were blessed with our daughter all of our lives. She always wanted to do things to make our lives happy, and she always did just that.
I worked at Central National Bank for many years. I was blessed with co-workers who also became my good friends. I tried always to help all of the people who came to me as customers, and I especially enjoyed visiting with the children whom I spoiled with gum and candy. I have always been a people person, and God blessed me with many friends.
Another big event and blessing in my life was becoming a grandmother to my two grandchildren, Johnny Rex and Tammy Michele Buckles. They were my pride and joy, and we had many great times together. I know and admit I was a silly "Grammy," and I never ever wanted to get over that. Thank you, Janice and Bill, for giving them to me.
I had four adorable, sweet great grandchildren, Amanda Pearl and Haley Michele Daniels and Annie Grace and Johnny Rex Buckles, Jr. (Rex). They were a great joy to me. Lois Sense was my very special sister. I was truly blessed with a great family that I loved dearly.
A big part of my life was devoted to music. I sang all of my life for those who wanted and asked me to. God gave me what talent I had so I could serve Him by helping others in time of sorrow or on joyous and special occasions.
I was a member of and served in First Baptist Church for many years. I sang in our church choir over 30 years.
My choir, Gleaners Sunday School Class, and church family were all special to me.
I always enjoyed cooking for my family through the years, fixing favorite foods for each of them; however, during the last few years, I couldn't do it. Age slipped up on me.
Those preceding me in death were my husband, Rex; Mother and Father, Pearl and Ernest; sister, Lois, and brother-in-law, George; great granddaughter, Maggie Kaye; and a host of dear relatives and friends.
I am survived by my daughter Janice Deanne; granddaughter Tammy and great granddaughters Amanda and Haley; grandson Johnny Rex and wife Tami and great grandchildren Annie and Rex; and a host of special relatives and friends.
Memorial contributions in my memory may be made through the funeral home to the First Baptist Church in Alva.
