ALENE "LUCY" BROOKS

OCNS - March 30, 2002 - Alene "Lucy" Brooks, a resident of Hominy, 
Oklahoma, was born June 24, 1926 in Fairfax, Oklahoma, to Buford and 
Nona Effie (Jones) Self.   She grew up and attended schools in the 
area between Hominy and Pawhuska, Oklahoma.   She was united to her 
husband Harold Willis and was his caretaker until his death.   Alene 
worked in the restaurant business in Pawhuska, waiting tables at the 
Manhattan Café as well as Greek's. 

In the early 1960's Alene moved to Hominy and later started working at 
the Chuckwagon Café.   She always had strong ties with her children, 
grandchildren and family.   She loved sewing and gardening and had a 
passion to take care of her chickens.   She also loved to cook and if 
you were to go and see her, you would definitely leave with a full 
stomach. 

Alene passed away Friday, March 29, at her home in Hominy at the age 
of seventy-five years, nine months and five days.

Alene is survived by her children:   Edgar Wayne and wife, Shirley 
Waller of Hominy; Glen Robert and wife, Deann Edwards of Harvey, 
Louisiana; George Ray and wife, Tina Waller of Hominy, and Martha 
Alene and husband George White of Wynona, Oklahoma; two sisters, 
Louise Ledbetter of Hominy and Lucille Tharp of Tulsa, Oklahoma; two 
brothers, Albert Self of Blackwell, Oklahoma, and J.R. Self of Hominy; 
eight grandchildren, nineteen great grandchildren and one great-great 
grandchild. 

Alene was preceded in death by her parents, sister Irene Conner and a 
great-great granddaughter, Talysa Hoehne. 

Services were held today (Saturday) at 2:00 p.m., in the Chapman-Black 
Chapel, Cleveland, Oklahoma, with Dr. Larry Wilson officiating.   
Interment was to be private family services in the A.J. Powell 
Memorial Cemetery, Hominy, under the direction of Chapman-Black
