Dear Friends of Atoka Cemetery Association,
It is with regret that I need to inform you that the Atoka Cemetery
Association will not meet this year due to the Coronavirus. It may be
less severe in May than in April but with the ages of our "group" Larry
and I decided not to meet.
The following have been buried at Atoka this last year:
We were sad to hear that Hulene Archie passed away on May 7, 2019
right after our last meeting. She was always so faithful in attending the
meetings each year. Also, her friend Daryl Strelow died May 31, 2019
after Hulene. We will miss both of them. Chad Price, son of Bill &
Denise Price was buried at Atoka June 8, 2019. Irma E. O'Neal passed
away on July 5, 2019. Bernice Shields, the step-mother-in-law to Bill
and Sue Shields passed away October 6, 2019 and was buried at
Atoka. She was married to Vint Shields and lived in Arizona at the time
of her passing. On February 15, 2020 we lost a friend of the Atoka
Cemetery Association Bobbie Jean DePrang. She was living in
Shenandoah, Iowa and always remembered the Association each
year.
Clay Richards has been spraying the cemetery with pre-emergence
herbicide to eradicate grass burrs along with mowing and cemetery
maintenance. We appreciate the generosity of your donations to the
Cemetery Association. This year all donations will go toward the
Pavilion Fund where we will be buying concrete benches to be placed
under the Pavilion. The old wooden structures have been removed as
they were falling down. Please send your donations to Sue Shields,
Treasurer, 699 CR 429, Novice, TX 79538.
God Bless and stay well. We will see you next year!
Larry Garvin, President
Shields, Secretary/Treasurer
