ENID, Okla. — With joy, we celebrate the passing of our mother and grandmother, Ida Leitha Krejci, into Heaven, where she is reunited with her husband, Adolph, and has come face to face with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

On Sept. 28, 1915, in Douglas, Okla., Leitha became the youngest child of Elmer and Sarah Elizabeth (Shedrick) Snyder. She departed this world on Saturday, May 3, 2014.

Leitha loved sports, especially basketball and bowling. After playing in a basketball game for Douglas, Adolph Krejci, who’d been watching in the stands, asked her for a date. They dated for more than a year and a half and were married on Oct. 22, 1932.

There was little idle time as she helped Adolph with the farms, raise two sons and attend church functions. Those things did not stop her passion to collect antiques, coins, stamps, bottles, dishes, toys and anything else collectible.

Leitha took up the sport of bowling in her early 50s and continued to bowl in leagues for the next 30 years. She was a charter member of the Junior Farmerettes Home Demonstration Club in the Pioneer community.

Leitha leaves behind her two sons, Gayle and wife Greta, and Kris and wife Lillian, all of Enid; five grandchildren, Rick and wife Robin, Edmond, Mike and wife Pam, Nicholasville, Ky., Lisa and husband Dan Wolever, Enid, and Lenita and Lei Anna Krejci, Enid. Leitha was blessed with 11 great-grandchildren, Adam, Aaron, Judith, Hannah, Eva, Lauren, Kent, Dane, Kendi, Landen and Ethan; seven great-great-grandchildren, Jaedyn, Gage, Madison, Chesney, Liam, Andalucia and Gideon.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Adolph; parents, Elmer and Sarah Elizabeth Snyder; brothers, Cecil and Benton; sisters, Alma Blackwell, Alta Armstrong, Fay Hughes and Clara Snyder.

Thanks to those who served Leitha with their love and compassion.

The celebration of her life will be 11 a.m. Thursday, May 8, 2014, at Westside Baptist Church, with the Rev. Vernon Lee officiating. Burial will follow in Waukomis Cemetery under the direction of Henninger-Hinson Funeral Home.

Memorial gifts may be given through the funeral home to Westside Baptist Church.
