PALMER MARLER FUNERAL HOME
PERRY, NOBLE CO, OK
(permission granted)
Interment will follow at Ceres
Cemetery in Red Rock, Oklahoma.
Gene was born November 26, 1950 in Ponca City, Oklahoma to Ray M. and
Marjorie (Riddell) Sanders. He grew up in Red Rock and attended Red Rock
Public Schools where he graduated high school in 1969. Gene married the
love of his life, Lisa Ann Langley on March 22, 1975 in Ponca City,
Oklahoma. They have been blessed with 42 wonderful years.
Gene was a farmer and rancher. He and Lisa enjoyed working side by side
farming wheat and raising commercial cattle. Gene has owned and operated
the original Sanders farm in Red Rock since 1975. This is the farm that
his grandfather, Frank Sanders bought in 1904 after moving from
Rothville, Missouri. Gene also enjoyed custom harvesting wheat for
neighbors and friends out of state. After the wheat had been harvested
and if cows were not calving, you might find Gene and Lisa sneaking off
to Colorado for some much needed rest and relaxation.
Family and friends was a very important commodity in Gene’s life. He
loved watching his grandson’s Maddox and Blake playing baseball and
spending time with all of his friends and neighbors around the Red Rock
and Ceres community. Gene will always be remembered as a selfless,
kind-hearted, generous man. His untimely passing leaves a void in all
those who knew and loved him. He will be greatly missed.
Survivors include his wife Lisa of the home; one son, Troy Sanders and
wife Dayla of Perry, Oklahoma; two grandsons, Blake Sanders and Maddox
Sanders both of Perry, Oklahoma; one brother, Lee Sanders and wife Pat
of Perry, Oklahoma; two brothers-in-law, Randall Langley of Adair,
Oklahoma, and Russell Langley and wife Anita of Adair, Oklahoma;
numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and a host of friends far and wide.
He was preceded in death by one son, Todd Sanders in 1998, and his
parents.
