Jan Scott Caffey, 85, died at home May 4, 2013, from brain cancer.
She was born February 23, 1928, in Mangum, to Jewett Scott Sr. and
Gladys Wicker Scott. Jan graduated from Mangum High School in 1946
and worked at the phone company in Mangum.
On September 17, 1949, she married James William Caffey, also of
Mangum, and worked at the phone company in Norman while he completed
his studies at the University of Oklahoma. They reared three
children while living in several cities in Oklahoma, Texas and New
Mexico. She was an avid reader and bridge player and also enjoyed
gardening and quilting. With her ready smile, outgoing nature,
positive attitude and sense of humor, she made friends wherever she
went. Over the years she was a Scout leader and community volunteer
in various organizations, as well as an election worker in Cleveland
County and local official in the 1970 U.S. Census.
After her children were grown, Jan spent 27 years in Tulsa, where
she belonged to Forest Creek Garden Club, SPE Wives and a quilt
guild.
In 2004, after the deaths of her husband and of her son, William
Scott Caffey, Jan moved to Mangum, where she renewed old ties, made
new friends and lived some of the most contented years of her life.
She was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Mangum,
Sorosis Study Club and several bridge groups.
Jan is survived by her daughters, Christine Caffey of Oklahoma City
and Jan Elizabeth Caffey of Colorado Springs, Colorado; grandsons,
Chuck Caffey and Russell Caffey (and wife Shea) of Jacksonville,
Florida; a great-grandson, Von Caffey, and a great-granddaughter,
Sloan Caffey, of Jacksonville; her brother, Jewett Scott Jr. of
Mangum; and her sisters, Marie Brandt of Bethany, Oklahoma; Judy
Smith of Houston; and Jill Talley of Yukon, Oklahoma.
