                     Obit for Homer Bruce Havens

Homer Bruce Havens, the fourth child of George and Ruth Havens was born
December 25th, 1922 in Cordell, Oklahoma and passed from this life June 17,
2002, in his home in Cordell.

Homer attended school in Cordell, but spent most of his adult life in parts of
California and Arizona. Homer owned and operated his own construction business
and was a professional painter of homes and businesses. Homer loved to play
golf, shoot pool, watch all kinds of sports on T.V. He had a wonderful sense of
humor and loved to tease and play pranks on those he loved, especially his
sisters Sybil and Billie. He loved to cook and try new recipes. He especially
enjoyed his family and was a wonderful father to his children. Family was an
important part of his life.

Homer had moved back to Cordell a year ago to be near his family, and had
fought a fight with cancer for several years. He experienced a lot of pain, but
still he always had a smile and something funny to say to those he loved.

Homer is survivied by six children; three daughters Ida Ruth, Cheryl and Janet
and three sons, Eugene Bruce, James and Mike (James and Janet are twins); two
sisters, Sybil Thiessen of Cordell and Billie Christian of Burns Flat; three
sisters-in-law, May, Donna and Lucille and a number of grandchildren, one
great-grandchild, neices, nephews, relatives and friends.

Preceding Homer in death were his parents, Ruth and George Havens; three wives,
Frankie, Clydene, and Cordilla (Cordilla and Homer were married for 41 years);
one sister, Delores (Sissy) Rice; three brothers, Hobby, Hubert, and Sonny.

Memorial grave side rights were held for Homer on Saturday, June 22 at 2:00

Home of Vici, Oklahoma. The private family memorial services were conducted by
Rev. Howard Holt of Hobart, assisted by a Pastor of Vici. Donna Havens (Sister-
in-law of the late Homer Bruce Havens) was hostess to a family dinner following
the memorial service, held in her home in Hobart, a special time for the family
to visit and remember Homer Bruce.
