Carol Ruth (Fuqua) Dicks was a native of Arkansas and moved to Oklahoma 
early in life to complete her education. James and Carol were united in 
marriage August 29, 1952 in Seminole, Oklahoma. Carol's life was 
selflessly devoted to rearing her children and caring for her family. Her 
church life and relationship with God was her cornerstone from which she 
received her stength and caring nature. Carol had many gifts in which she 
ministerd to others which was made evident by the love and care she 
received during her illness.

James Herbert Dicks was a native of Oklahoma where he was reared and in 
turn reared his family. A testament to his life and character could be 
seen in the fact that during his entire education and 39 years with 
Southwestern Bell, James never missed a day. He was admired by his 
employers and co-workers for his hard work and fairness with others. His 
devotion to his work came second only to his devotion to his family where 
he is remembered as a loving husband, father, grandfather and great 
grandfather. He is highly respected by all as a true man of God. This was 
made manifest in the unconditional love he shared toward others. James and 
Carol retired to Lake Eufaula in 1990 and lived there until moving to 
Bartlesville in 2000 to live in retirement.

Surviving are their two daughters and their husbands, Ben and Marsha 
Whitehead, Waco, Texas, Dean and Joy Cook, Bartlesville; five 
grandchildren, Aaron and wife, Ronna Whitehead, Kristy Whitehead, Daniel
