Carter Steers

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at First Christian 
Church in Durant for Carter Allan Steers, 64, of Durant. The Rev. Bob 
Reuter will officiate.

The son of Maurice and Vurl Steers, he was born July 15, 1934, in 
Taloga. 

Mr. Steers departed this life at Wilson N Jones Hospital in Sherman, 
Texas, on April 21, 1999, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. 

Carter spent 40 productive years with the United States Department of 
Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service. Seven of those years were spent 
here in Bryan County. 

After Carter's retirement, he and his wife JoAnn returned to Durant 
because of their love for the First Christian Church and many special 
friends. During this time Carter began his second career, designing 
model home landscapes for Centex Homes of Dallas. 

Often Carter returned to his roots in Dewey County. He loved nothing 
more than helping his parents and brother with farming and ranching. 

He was preceded in death by his mother Vurl Steers and sister-in-law 
Kathy Steers. 

Burial will be at 10 a.m. Monday at Mounds Cemetery south of Taloga
