Bobby Ray Tolleson

August 24, 1941 ~ November 6, 2025

Bobby R. Tolleson, age 84, passed away on November 6, 2025, in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. He was born on August 24, 1941, in Fayetteville, Arkansas, to William and Margurite Tolleson.

Bob attended Webster School in Tulsa before leaving during junior high to begin working. In 1960, he married the love of his life, Josephine Alene, and together they raised two daughters, Sharon and Sharlot.

Bob had a lifelong passion for drag racing, owning and racing several cars throughout the years. He also loved riding his four-wheeler and spending time with his family. Known for his friendly spirit, Bob never met a stranger—he could strike up a conversation with anyone and always had a way of making people smile. Many will fondly remember seeing him riding up and down the road on his golf cart, waving and visiting with neighbors and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Margurite Tolleson; his five siblings; and his beloved wife, Josephine.

Bob is survived by his daughters, Sharon Borrell and Sharlot Barnes; nine grandchildren; and eleven great-grandchildren.

Per his request, no services will be held.

Bob will be remembered for his kindness, his humor, and the joy he brought to everyone who knew him.
