She passed away Sunday, July 26, 2020 in Oklahoma City. She married Bobby Sexton, Sr on March 4, 1955. They moved to the OKC area where they started their family. She has two children, Janet Sexton Sharpe of the home and Bobby Sexton Jr. of Dalhart, Texas. Most knew her as Granny. She enjoyed helping at the schools while her kids were in school, and went above and beyond helping when her grandkids were in school. Granny loved to cook and have large groups around the table. She took great pride in making Christmas candy to share with family and friends. She loved working in her flower beds and yard. She looked forward to our yearly girls/family shopping trips to Texas every November. She walked 3 to 4 miles 5 days a week with her walking buddies until she got sick. Granny is preceded in death by her husband of 62 years Bobby Sexton, Sr., her parents Everette and Genta Dye, and two sisters Kay Tripplett and Thelma Minnich. She is survived by her daughter Janet of the home; son Bobby of Dalhart, Texas; her grandchildren: Kyle and Morgan Sexton of Mustang, Oklahoma, Alisha and Jeff Bland of Moore, Oklahoma, Kerri and Kyle Campbell of Moore, Oklahoma and Johna and Ricky Hembree of Rockwall, Texas; great grandchildren: Ryan and Aubrie Hembree of Rockwall, Texas, Allie Campbell of Moore, Oklahoma, Aimee and Abbiegh Bland, of Moore, Oklahoma, and Mollee Hartman of Mustang, Oklahoma; her brothers JL Dye of Crescent, Oklahoma and Everett Lee Dye of San Diego, California; and one sister Velma Hurst of Guthrie. She is also survived by many loving sister-in-laws, brother-in-laws, nieces, nephews and other family members. Also surviving her are lots of friends and her OMRF family.
