ELROY GOE, 80, departed this life on Tuesday, December 24, 2013 in Servant Living Center in Medford, Oklahoma. Services have been entrusted to Palmer Marler Funeral Home of Perry. Family has requested a private service.
Elroy Goe was born on July 11, 1933 in Oklahoma City, OK to Frank and Marie (Rupp) Goe. He grew up in the Lucien and Perry area. Elroy graduated from Hayward High School in 1951. After graduating from high school, he met the love of his life, Alice Koehn; they were married on Febuary 28, 1961.
Elroy’s life was based around music, beginning with the piano at the age of three. He was what you call a true musician. He could play almost anything that he heard. Although he could play all different styles, his main focus was classical music. One of Elroy’s greatest moments was playing with Liberace. He played in many churches and around all parts of the Perry area. Another love of Elroy’s was watching the OSU cowboys, especially football. He never missed a game, whether sitting in the stands or watching from home.
Elroy was a gentle and caring man. He would always try to help another before himself. While living at Servant Life Center, before sitting down to eat, Elroy would help get the other residents to their tables for meals. Although he did not have any of his own, Elroy loved children. Being around his many nieces and nephews brought him great joy.
Elroy was preceded in death by his wife, Alice Koehn Goe, and parents Frank and Marie (Rupp) Goe.
He is survived by his sister Alice Marie Mack and husband, John of Lucien, Oklahoma and several nieces and nephews.
