GLADYS BUCK

OCNS - June 3, 2002 - Gladys Buck, 91, was born September 15, 1910 in 
Ramona, Oklahoma and passed away May 31, 2002 in Pawhuska, Oklahoma.   She 
was preceded in death by her husband, Paul Buck, parents, Cora Bible Jordan 
and James Jordan and one brother, Kenneth Jordan.   She is survived by one 
son and daughter-in-law, Jordan and Lelia Buck of Sedan, Kansas; three 
grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, P.J. and Shelly Buck, Addison, 
Sarah and Paul of Sedan, Kansas; John and Kay Hill, Jordan and John Tyler 
of Sedan, Kansas; Andy and Tina Buck, Ellen and Nathan of Altamont, Kansas 
and numerous relatives and friends.

Gladys attended school in Ramona and was very proud to have never missed a 
day of school in twelve years.   On June 15, 1932, she married Paul Buck in 
Claremore, Oklahoma, and they resided in Pawhuska for their lifetime.   
Gladys was active in many organizations - Oklahoma Cowbells, Home Extension, 
Oklahoma Livestock Association and served on the Osage County Election 
Board.

Gladys was known as a real "cowboy".   She rode horseback, worked and cared 
for her cattle, anything a man could do, she could do (she even got her 
hair cut at the barber shop).   After she had helped with all the ranch 
work, she would fix all the hands one of the best meals in Oklahoma.   You 
rarely saw Gladys without her cowboy hat, even when she wore a dress (which 
wasn't very often).

Gladys was an avid gardener and egg lady, always delivering produce and 
eggs to friends and family.   She was known for playing a good hand of 
pitch and waiting patiently to pick Paul up from the Smokehouse.

"Mom's" love was her family, friends, ranching, riding old Mac and her 
dogs, but it is finally time for her to rest and we will now take care of 
the cows and "the place" as she watches with Paul from above.   You will 
be missed.

Services for Gladys will be Tuesday, June 4, at 1:00 p.m., in the Johnson 
Funeral Home Chapel, Pawhuska.   Interment will be at 2:30 p.m., in the 
Ramona Cemetery, Ramona, Oklahoma.

Johnson Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
