Sugar passed away on Tuesday, May 14, 2002. She was 63.

Born in the Fisher Bottoms area of Sand Springs on June 22, 1938, Sugar's 
parents were Joseph and Eula Banks Cannon. She was reared and educated in 
Wagoner, graduating from high school in 1955. Sugar and classmate Dale Brady 
dated during their high school years but after graduation each went their 
separate way. Sugar married and became the mother of three children.

She worked as a secretary for many years, supporting her small family. Ina was 
employed by Victor Federal, Western Hills Lodge and the Wagoner County District 
Attorney's office. On July 1, 1980, she and Dale, her high school sweetheart, 
met again and just weeks later, on Aug. 15, they began their life together with 
a Muskogee wedding ceremony.

Sugar and Dale, on a vacation in Gunnison, Colo., decided to become the owners 
of the "Tall Texan," an RV campground that they managed for many years, until 
their retirement in 1994.

Moving back to Claremore to be close to family, Sugar delighted in the close 
relationship she was able to maintain with her grandchildren. Unable to 
pronounce Sugar, a grandson affectionately called her "Cuger," and the name 
stuck. Each grandchild had their own special meal that grandma prepared just for 
them. Sugar was an expert cook and canning was her specialty. She won a number 
of ribbons at the Rogers County Fair for her canned goods.

Though Oklahoma born, Sugar loved the desert and the mountains. She visited all 
but three of the 50 states. She loved country music - the louder the better. 
Besides traveling, crocheting, painting, gardening and reading, Sugar was a 
fisher, and when she "grew up," she wanted to be a B52 pilot.

Those who survived this amazing woman are her husband, Dale of their home in 
Claremore; daughter, Kim Wiley of Claremore; son, Robbie Hancock and wife Karie 
of Guymon, Okla.; grandchildren, Curt and Chris Hancock of Wagoner, Nick Wiley 
and wife Jesse of Rogers, Ark., Lane Wiley of Claremore, Shaylee Hancock and 
"Little Joe" Hancock of Guymon; mother, Eula Fagg of Tulsa; brother, James 
"Sonny" Cannon and wife Judy of Mounds, Okla.; sisters, Wanda Odom and husband 
Walter of Sand Springs, Tricia Gaddy and husband Don of Skiatook and Londa 
Albert and husband Michael of Prue, Okla.; sisters-in-law, Hazel Choate of 
Tulsa, Jane McKinney of Tulsa and Virgie Brady of Wagoner; and numerous aunts, 
uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
