She also loved her work and being around others, especially children. As once said by Will Rogers, "There never was a man I didn't like", so goes it with Mrs. Watkins, brothers, sisters and children alike.

You could find her at all types of sporting activities. You name it. From volleyball to baseball to football, she would work the concession stands quite a bit and was always involved in Glenpool Schools activities and work.

One of her greatest thrills was when she and her husband Ronnie rented hotel rooms in Norman, Okla. Another great moment was when the Glenpool Lady Warriors won the state championships, which their only daughter started and was instrumental for the state champs.

Her father Howard Goodrich preceded her in death. She loved her mother and father and honored them dearly.

She loved swimming! She was as good a mother and wife as anyone could be. She was and always will be missed by her family and all her school workers alike!

From "The Sapulpa Herald," Sapulpa, Oklahoma, Monday, April 5, 2004

Troy Wilbert Whitehouse

Troy Wilbert Whitehouse was born Feb. 3, 1916 in Braggs, Okla. and was the youngest son of Stephen Kelly Whitehouse and Martha M. Stockton.

Troy joined the family of brother and sister Ora Hogan (Enlow), Millard Washington, Stephen Ted, Luther Franklin, Bessie May (Connors), Edith Marie (Taylor) and Ruby Lee (Smith).

His Dad carried the mail for the rural area of Braggs, driving a horse and buggy. They were also farmers.

As a young teenager the family moved to Coweta, Okla. Troy and his brothers often walked from Coweta to Sapulpa to visit relatives.

His dad died while living in the Coweta area, and after Troy was grown he and his family moved to the Wyatt School area southwest of Kellyville.

He married Bonnie Lee Canady on July 21, 1938 in Sapulpa; their first child, Martha, died at birth.

Survivors are sons S.K. and his wife Helen, of Sapulpa, Hubert and his wife, Loeva, Wilbert and his wife, Sharon, all of Bristow, Tommy and his wife, Joyce, of Depew; daughters Phyllis Whitehouse, of Bristow, and Saundra Houston and her husband, Richard, of Meridian, Idaho.

Troy retired from Sentinal Manufactoring Company of Tulsa in 1978 where he had worked as a core maker and moulder for over 20 years.

Troy loved his grandchildren: Randy Whitehouse, Lisa Foster, Lori Whitehouse, Gena Greenwood, Trenton Whitehouse, Lane Whitehouse, Julie Lewis, Marty VanOrsdol, Timmy VanOrsdol, David VanOrsdol, Denise Sargent, Dean Smith, Scott Houston, Karen Liles, Mary Loper, Jenny Vazquez, Jason Reterford, Mark Houston, Tonya Whitehouse, Steven Whitehouse and Rachel Criner; great-grandchildren Isaac, Niles, Matt, Kayla, Jerod, Christen, Macy, Whitney, Payten, Dillion, Amanda, Daniel, Tiffany, Tara, Tim, J.R., Wyatt, Aubrey, Crystal, Casey, Rocky, Ryan, Whitney, Steven, Jaden, Jaxie, Kelsey, Madison, Kayandra, Antonio, Hayden, Ryan, Brady, Wesley, Lauren, Zachary and Emily.

Dad loved to go. That was what he liked to do best. He and Mom were always out early and as you were going to work they had already been out somewhere on their way back. They would come by to visit and after 10 or 15 minutes he'd say, "Mammy, we'd better head." Mom preceded him in death on July 31, 1997.

After Mom died life was never the same. His words through tears were "After You" lived with someone 60 years you don't forget them.

He was currently living at the Rainbow Assisted Living in Bristow where Vinita and the other girls took excellent care of him.

He was always sitting by the door waiting for some of the children to come by and pick him up.

He was with Tom at the barber shop when God decided to call him home. There was no other place he'd rather have been.

We miss him and there will be days we will look for him; but his race is complete. God blessed him with 88 years. God bless our lives with a wonderful father and grandfather. We love you Dad.

Funeral services for Mr. Whitehouse have been set for 2:00 p.m. Monday, April 5, 2004 in the Bristow Free Holiness Church with the Revs. David Taylor, Melvin Duke and Richard Houston officiating.

ALVA P. WHITTLE
From "The Sapulpa Herald," June 10, 1966

A 63-year-old Tulsa man was pronounced dead-on-arrival at Bartlett Memorial Hospital here Friday night following a one-car mishap on the Rock Creek bridge in the 1000 block of South Main.

Alva F. Whittle, father of a Tulsa policeman, died in the mishap when his auto collided headon with the south end of the concrete bridge railing.

Highway Patrol authorities said it is believed the victim suffered a heart attack before the accident.

The death is the first auto fatility here since May 22, 1965, when a 5-year-old Sapulpa youth was killed when he ran into the path of an auto in the 700 block of West Johnson.

It was the first fatility on the Rock Creek bridge since September 25, 1946, when an area woman was killed in a car-truck accident there.

In an earlier accident Friday, no injuries were reported and one citation issued in a mishap in the 1100 block of East Jackson.

The mishap involved cars driven by Donald W. Bell, 1304 E. Lincoln, and Reeta Peek, Rt. 2, Sapulpa.

The woman driver was cited for failure to yield the right-of-way.

His career in law enforcement had taken him to several small towns in Oklahoma.

His sewing machine repair knowledge had taken him into people's homes where he would strike up a conversation about things that seemed to matter to them. He was always quizzing folks about their names and who they might be related to. At some point in time he would get around to discussing the Bible and telling them what they needed to do to be saved.

When he would get together with school friends, he would always start telling stories about funny things that they had done and their many exploits.

His love and compassion for people was for all ages and knew no bounds.

He loved to work for and care for his animals.

If they were sick, he had a way of doctoring them and they would get better. His doctoring advice would extend to the human race as well.

He had a God given talent to make people laugh. With his sharp wit he could turn the most serious conversation into laughter.

He will be truly missed by a host of family and friends.
