Richard Stubblefield

Richard "Dick" Gordon Stubblefield passed quietly from this life Monday, August 13th at the age of 77. He was born September 10, 1929 in Wetumka, OK to Enos Marion and Pauline Thelma (Baker) Stubblefield. Richard attended school in Yeager, OK and he enlisted in the U.S. Army on January 29, 1951. He proudly served his country during a tour in Germany as Private First Class of the 28th Infantry Division of the United States Army. Upon his return to the states in 1953, Richard married his sweetheart, Mary Katherine Thomas on October 17 in Oklahoma City. The oilfield brought the couple to Lindsay in 1955 and they have made their home there for over 51 years. Richard worked as a floor hand, operator and rig supervisor for Chris Well Service, later known as WellTech, for over 34 years. He retired from Morgan Well Service in 1992. A man of many hobbies, Richard loved playing the guitar and singing old gospel hymns, watching Wheel of Fortune and the Atlanta Braves on TV and raising his vegetable gardens each summer. One of his favorite pastimes was golfing with either his sons and son-in-law or his old golfing buddies. He was proud to be lucky enough in 1981 to hit that coveted hole-in-one shot. Richard deeply loved his family and thoroughly enjoyed his time spent with them; especially his grandkids and great grandbabies. He was a member of Calvary Baptist Church. Richard was greatly admired and will be remembered for his courage and positive attitude and the great sense of humor he maintained throughout his lengthy battle with cancer and emphysema. He was quite the fighter and inspiration to all.
