Billy Lee Whitt

December 26, 1933 - May 4, 2022

Our dad, Billy Lee Whitt (Bill), passed away on May 4, 2022 after a long illness. He was born on December 26, 1933 to Mazie and Lee Whitt. Bill and his brother Jim were raised on a farm near Rush Creek. Bill was a star athlete in all sports but football was his love. Upon graduation from Lindsay High School Bill accepted a scholarship to play football at Oklahoma State University. When he graduated he stayed on to coach while completing his Masters degree. Bill came into our lives on April 12, 1969 when he married our mom Zola. Bill dearly loved his Zolie Mae, as he affectionately called her. Bill and Zola spent many cherished years together traveling the world and enjoying time with family. When Bill retired, they moved back to Lindsay where he loved to spend time at the farm looking out over the hills of the beautiful land he was proud to call home. Bill was a member of the Church of Christ Lindsay. Bill was a wonderful and loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend. Bill is survived by his three children Randolph (Bev), Lana, and Cindy (Dale); seven grandchildren Gregory (Alice), Gary (Jodi), Jennifer (Bobby), Jamie (Matthew), Genevieve, Sally, and Calvin; and 12 great-grandchildren. Bill is also survived by nieces, nephews, cousins, and many dear and wonderful friends. The family would like to thank all of Bill’s kind and loving caregivers. Dad’s dear friend Wynell and his cousin Janet, who both went above and beyond in his care. Thank you to Sam, who would come over in the middle of the night whenever Dad called. Thank you to Danna Beth, who showed kindness and continually checked on how he was doing. To Dad’s home caregivers, Tina, Trinity, Rhonda, Glenda, and Karen, we appreciate you all. Thank you to Hospice by Loving Care. A Graveside Service to honor the life of Bill is set to begin at 10:30 A.M.. on Saturday, May 14, 2022, at the Green Hill Cemetery in Lindsay. Oklahoma.
