Anna Lorraine Childers Obituary
Anna Lorraine Childers, 88, of Ada, Oklahoma passed away Wednesday, June 3rd, 2020 in Ada.
Anna Lorraine Hey Childers was born October 29, 1931 to Lawrence Mathias and Julia Izora Murray Hey in Stonington, Colorado.
After she graduated from high school as valedictorian, the family moved from Colorado back to the Hey family farm in Wanette, Oklahoma. While in Wanette, her brother introduced her to a tall, lanky young man named Leroy Childers. The couple wed on April 15, 1951, and moved to Ada, Oklahoma to begin their family.
While raising a family of five children, she worked outside the home at Montgomery Wards, the Specialty Shop, and Brockway Glass.
While in Ada, Lorraine was very involved with her church work at St. Joseph Catholic Church. There, she was active in the Altar Society, Martha's Guild, Church, Golden Club, Smorgasbord, Rummage Sale, and for many years she was in charge of the funeral dinners.
She lived a full life on this Earth. She was a daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, friend, and so much to so many. Her life was filled with joy, laughter, love and heartache, pride and sacrifice, giving and nurturing, and she gave with her whole heart.
Lorraine is survived by four sons, Michael of Ada, Gary of Ada, Philip and wife Anna of Tulsa, and Bradley and wife Kim of Ada, the one and only daughter, Kyra of Ada, six grandchildren, Chris Childers of Irving, TX, James Childers of Ada, Julie Childers of Lubbock, TX, Spencer Childers of Ada, Sarah Kate Childers of Ada, and Liam Shaughnessy of Tulsa, OK, two great-grandchildren, Jessie James Childers of Altus, OK and Quinlan Childers of Irving, TX, brother-in-law, Hoyt McKinley and many loving nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Leroy, a brother, Marion Hey and wife Myrtle, and sister Rosemary McKinley.
A rosary for Lorraine will be held at 6:00 PM, Sunday, June 7th, 2020 at Estes~Phillips Funeral Home Chapel. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:00 AM, Monday, June 8th, 2020 at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Ada. Interment will follow at Wanette Cemetery in Wanette, Oklahoma.
