Moran, Patricia Ann Cussen

Patricia Ann Cussen Moran, 68, went to be with her Lord and her personal 
Savior Jesus Christ on December 26, 2002 at her home in Oklahoma City. She 
was born on January 23, 1934 to William Douglas Cussen and Naomi Ruth 
Paschal Cussen and grew up in Anadarko, Oklahoma. She was very involved in 
all her high school activities and graduated from Anadarko High School in 
1952. She was equally active while attending Oklahoma College for Women 
and graduated with a degree in Speech Pathology in 1956. She was a member 
of the American Speech and Hearing Association. She worked many years in 
private practice at the Oklahoma Psycological and Educational Center. The 
Oklahoma Speech and Hearing Association recognized her in 1971 as an 
Outstanding Clinician. She worked at the Children"s Convalescent Center in 
Bethany. She received her Master"s Degree in Education from Central State 
University in 1973. She became the Administrator with the Oklahoma County 
Regional Education Service Center in Anadarko. She considered it a 
privilege to be associated with such dedicated people with the State 
Department of Education and the opportunity to serve students with 
disabilities. She retired from the RESCs in 1975 to accept a position as a 
charter member of the Cultural and Heritage Committee with the Caddo 
Indian Nation. The vision of the committee was to establish a living 
museum on Caddo Indian ceremonial grounds based upon the approval of the 
Caddo people. She was a member of the Caddo Indian Nation. She received 
many other honors and accolades too numerous to list. A hobby Pat truly 
enjoyed was her involvement in the establishment of the Anadarko Community 
Theatre. She was the charter first vice president of the Theatre group. 
She also worked four years with the Pumpkin Festival. Prior to the time of 
her passing she stated that she was getting spiritually prepared to be 
with Jesus Christ her Savior. She fought a courageous five-year battle 
with lung cancer and although she had not smoked for two years prior to 
her diagnosis, her only regret was that she ever started smoking 
cigarettes. She enjoyed her retirement years in her condominium in Quail 
Creek. She loved her children and especially loved to attend to her 
grandchildren as often as possible. Pat enjoyed exchanging emails with her 
friends throughout the country. Most recently, she was instrumental in the 
coordination of her 50th year Anadarko High School reunion. Her parents 
preceded her in death. She is survived by her children; one son, Kelly 
Moran of Oklahoma City and one grandson Jeffery Sikes of Chickasha; one 
daughter, Erin Moran Glimp and son-in law, Joe David Glimp and two 
granddaughters, Joelle Patricia Ruth Glimp and Juliana Georgia Glimp all 
of Oklahoma City. She is also survived by one brother, James Franklin 
Cussen and sister-in-law Betty Cussen of Olney, Maryland; their son Kyle 
Thomas Cussen and wife Misti Cussen of Broken Arrow. She is also survived 
by her aunt Genevieve Eagleman, and her cousins, Denzil McDonald, Lance 
Eagleman, Frances Kodaseet, Gayler Satepauhoodle and Rev. Carol Hampton, 
and their children and an extended family that she truly loved and who 
truly loved her. All the people she touched will miss her and her memory 
will never fade. Services will be held at the St. Paul"s Cathedral, 127 NW 
7th Street, Oklahoma City, on Monday, December 30, at 11:00 AM. The 
committal service will follow Memory Lane Cemetery in Anadarko at 3:00 
P.M. Arrangements are under the direction of Steverson Funeral Home of 
Anadarko. Memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society, 8400 
Silver Crossing, OKC, OK 73132.
