Dorothy Anerson

IN MEMORY OF DOROTHY ANDERSON

Funeral services for Dorothy Anderson, 80, of Purcell will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday, January 5, 2023 at the Wilson-Little Funeral Home Chapel. Interment will be at Hillside Cemetery in Purcell under the direction of the Wilson-Little Funeral Home in Purcell.

Mrs. Anderson passed away Friday, December 30, 2022.

Dorothy Jo Mantooth was born July 30, 1942 in Purcell, the fourth of five daughters born to John Russell Mantooth and Etta Roberta Mantooth. Dorothy was raised in Purcell and attended school there, graduating with the Dragon Class of 1960.

Dorothy worked for Western Electric for a short time, and as a receptionist for C.L. Boyd in Oklahoma City. Her sister Sharon intoduced her to a young man from Wayne named Lloyd Wayne Anderson. They were the perfect couple and the rest as they say, is history. Dorothy and Lloyd were married on July 7, 1967 in Oklahoma City. By 1970, they had settled in Purcell where they raised their children, son Paul and daughters, Teka and Shana.

Dorothy worked tirelessly as a homemaker, caring and providing for their every need. She stayed active in her community by volunteering in 4-H, the Booster Club, and the Junior Miss Pageant. She volunteered at Purcell Hospital whenever needed, and was coordinator for the Hospital Auxillary for more than 42 years. She was a member of the Purcell PO, the Redbud Club and Petal Pushers.

Whatever activities her children were involved in, Dorothy made it a point to be involved. And when she became a grandmother, she followed her grandchildren in various activities, drama and sports, and she was their biggest fan.

Dorothy was very crafty, and enjoyed painting, and especially porcelain China. She was a member of the World Organization of China Painters (WOCP), held several state offices including President, worked as a demonstrator and a teacher, and judged for many years at the State Fair. She was a woman of great faith and longtime member of the 9th & Pierce Church of Christ. She will be dearly missed!

She was preceded in death by her son, Paul Russell Anderson; her parents, Russell and Roberta Mantooth and two sisters, Betty Ozment and Sharon Anderson.

Dorothy is survived by her loving husband Lloyd Anderson of the home; daughters, Teka Dawn Anderson-O’Connell of Purcell and Shana DeAnn Glasgow and husband, Todd, of Stillwater; two sisters, Rose McCurdy of Purcell and Connie Wells of Purcell; six grandchildren, Taylor Moffat and husband, Jacob, Morgan Stringer and husband, Brayden, Gentrey Anderson, Haden Russell Glasgow, Max Glasgow and Maggie Glasgow; two great-great grandchildren, Nora Moffat and Anderson Stringer; several nieces and nephews and a host of other family and friends.

Beatrice Marie Novotny Hanley West, daughter of Marie

Kosour and Ferdinand Novotny, was born on January 3, 1926

in Havelock, Nebraska. On Friday, July 22, 2022 she died

peacefully with her family present; she was 96 years old.

Bea lived an incredibly full life. She traveled across the

Atlantic via ship twice before her tenth birthday. She spent

her formative years in a tiny village in Czechoslovakia with her

mother’s family before returning to the states at the outbreak

of World War II, speaking no English. She always said her time

in Moravia was what shaped her into the person she was. She

was married twice. First, to William Hanley, with whom she

had three children, and then to Gene West, with whom she

enjoyed her golden years, traveling extensively.

It was in her forties that her passion for painting really took

off and she spent over fifty years developing her work and

becoming a truly masterful porcelain and oil painter. Over the

years, her home and the homes of her loved ones were filled

with her beautiful pieces. In her later years, Bea also taught

classes and cherished the time she was able to share her skills

with others.

Bea was engaged in many charities during her life in both

California and Oklahoma. She was a member of St. Paul’s

episcopal church in Claremore, Oklahoma.

Bea is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Gene West,

INEZ WITH FAMILY

INEZ

Below is the Facebook article Heather, her granddaughter, posted on Inez Herman:

It's not an easy thing to talk about those who have passed. But here is my attempt. My grandmother passed away this past Sunday in her sleep. As many know and some don't, there have been four of us living with and taking care of her for the past few years. Between cancer, dementia and the hardships of life, it was not easy for any of us. But especially not for her. Despite that, in those moments of clarity when she would know who you were, she would always call you her special pet name and say she loved you. Inez was 82 and in her own words, a tough old broad. It hasn't settled in for us as a family. But we know she is with her beloved husband John who most surely told her 'Well it took you long enough. I've been haunting this house for years waiting for you!' Our happiness comes to us in knowing she is no longer in pain and her mind is clear and her heart full.

I'm going to miss you Bama, you and your silly toothless smile and your insistence that I shouldn't wear red lipstick or that Heath needed a haircut. Your silly jokes and our banter will stay with me forever. And I hope it stays with you as well.
