Wayne Elmo Pinkston
May 6, 1917 ~ January 3, 2008

Wayne Elmo Pinkston, 90, went to be with his Lord and Savior, January 3, 2008 in Oklahoma city after a lengthy illness. He was born May 6, 1917 in Cogar, Oklahoma, to Clarence and Viola [Wilson] Pinkston. Wayne attended school at Hazel Dell, Lone Rock, and Binger before graduating from Minco High School in 1935. He had to assume the responsibility of caring for his mother and three sisters at the age of 18, due to the premature death of his father.

Wayne and Cora were married on March 20, 1942, and celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary this past year. They operated a dairy and wheat farm for over 60 years southwest of Minco. Wayne served on the Grady County Rural Water Board No. 6. He was an active member of the First Baptist Church of Minco. Wayne was recognized for having 29 consecutive years of perfect attendance in Sunday School, and served as Sunday School record secretary for many years.

Wayne was preceded in death by his wife, Cora; parents and sister Leota Turner. Wayne is survived by his three children: Dawan Pinkston and wife Juanita of Minco, Wiley Pinkston and wife Annecia of Oklahoma City, and Lawanda (Pinkston) Butler and husband Jim of Edmond. He also leaves behind eight grandchildren: Lance, Darren, Dawna, Tiffany, Meredith, Ashley, Lauren and Whitley; eight great-grandchildren; his sisters: Oleta Hord of Lincoln, Calif., and Juanita Wakefield of El Sobrante, Calif.

For the last few years of his life, Wayne's mind was clouded with dementia, but it is perfectly clear today as he and his wife Cora are walking the streets of gold.

Services were held at 10 a.m on Jan. 7, 2008, at the First Baptist Church in Minco, Oklahoma. Memorial contributions may be sent to First Baptist Church, P.O. Box 427, Minco, OK 73059.

Burial followed at the Evergreen Cemetery in Minco under the direction of Huber-Reynolds Funeral Home of Minco.
