ENID, OK — Service for Ila Mae Terrel is 10:30 a.m. today, July 14, 2014, at Carmen Christian Church with Pastor Kirk Board officiating. Interment will follow at the Carmen City Cemetery under the direction of Wentworth Mortuary LLC.

Ila Mae Terrel was born Aug. 5, 1928, in Helena to Elisha E. and Myrtle Ellen (Gray) Morgan and passed away July 10, 2014, in Enid, at the age of 85 years, 11 months and 5 days.

She became a member of the First Christian Church of Carmen at the age of 9. She attended Carmen Public Schools.

On Nov. 9, 1947, she was united in marriage to Billy R. “Dick” Terrel in Cherokee. From this union came six children: Roberta, Richard, Stella, Glenda, Shawn and Shane.

Ila Mae was always known as Grandma T. Her family was her life, she was a homemaker in the true sense of the word and made generations of children at home in her house.

She was also chief cook in Dick’s Custom Harvest Crew.

Ila Mae lived most of her life in Carmen, until the last few years, when she moved to a retirement home in Enid.

Waiting for her at heaven’s gates are her parents; her husband, Dick; 10 brothers; two sisters; and a great grandson, Austin Taylor Hatton.

Ila Mae is survived by three sons, Richard Terrel and his wife, Teri, of Sabetha, Kan., Shawn Terrel and his wife, Lucinda, of Smithville, Mo., and Shane Terrel and his wife, Julie, of Alva; three daughters, Roberta Donaldson and her husband, Brice, of Enid, Stella Hamen and her husband, J.B., of Cleo Springs, and Glenda Byrd and her husband, Ron, of Leasburg, Mo.
