Lita Sue Hendricks, age 84 and former resident of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, passed away on Monday, January 23, 2017, in Ft. Worth, Texas.
 
Lita Sue Allton was born on August 31, 1932 in Claremore, Oklahoma. She was the daughter of Richard Vincent Allton and Ruth Elizabeth (Reeve) Allton. At an early age, the family moved to the Dewey, Oklahoma community where she received her education. She attended the Blue Mound school, grades one through three, which was east of Dewey. She then attended Dewey public schools , graduating with the 1950 Sr. graduation class of Dewey. She was active in many areas of school, particularly playing the clarinet as a member of the marching band. During her high
school years, she was named "Band Queen".  In Bartlesville, Lita was employed with Phillips Petroleum Company and was a loyal employee for many years. At the time of her retirement, she was a Telecommunication Supervisor. She married Steve Hendricks in Dewey, Oklahoma and they made their home in Bartlesville where they raised their two daughters, Susan Lynette and Sharon Denise.
