The memorial service for Margaret Ruth Watts (Tresner) Holt will be 11 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 20, 2014, at First United Methodist Church. The Rev. Randy Mitchell will officiate. Burial will be held in Memorial Park Cemetery. Services are under the direction of Brown-Cummings Funeral Home.
She was born Oct. 4, 1919, in Oklahoma City, the youngest of four children of Tipton Watts and Gertrude Stedman Watts. She passed from this life on Nov. 14, 2014.
She attended Central High School in Oklahoma City, where she was the leader of the cheerleading squad. She attended the University of Oklahoma, where she met Jack Norman Tresner, of Enid, Okla. They were married on June 14, 1940, and made their home in Enid, where Jack became president of Oklahoma Benefit Life Insurance Company, later Midwestern Life Insurance Company.
They had three sons, James Tracy Tresner II, Jack Norman Tresner Jr., and John Robert Tresner. While in Enid, she was active in the Christian Church of the Covenant, serving as a deaconess and as wedding coordinator. She was a member of the Enid Fine Arts Club, the Enid Garden Club, the Foster Grandparents Organization, and past president of the Junior Welfare League of Enid. She was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star and the Order of the Amaranth. Margaret was past president of the P.E.O. chapters in Enid and Altus, and a member of a chapter in Edmond.
Some years after the death of her husband, Jack Tresner, she married Dr. Willard Holt, a longtime friend of the family. They lived in Altus until the death of Dr. Holt, at which time she moved to the Fountains at Canterbury, a retirement community in Oklahoma City.
She is survived by three sons; two grandsons, Jevon and Jeff Tresner; two great-grandsons, Jester and Rhonan; and two great-granddaughters, Jovy and Payden.
In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that memorials be made to the Museum and Library of the Grand Lodge of Oklahoma, Tresner Masonic Learning Center, with Brown-Cummings serving as custodian of the funds. Condolences may be shared with the family online at Brown-Cummings.com.
