Mrs. Stevens was born on July 28, 1922 at Browning
Township, Linn County, Iowa to John P. and Edna
(Willits) Williams. She attended high school at
Friends Boarding School in Barnesville, Ohio and was
baptized at the St. Paul's Methodist Church. She was
married to Wayne W. Stevens on October 15, 1950 at
Whittier, Iowa. They later made their home in
Memphis, Tennessee for ten years until moving to
Bartlesville where they continued to make their
home. Mr. and Mrs. Stevens loved to travel and had
been to Europe and on a driving trip to Alaska. Mr.
Stevens preceded her in death on March 23, 2009 and
she has continued her home in Bartlesville.
Active as a writer for many years, her interest in
writing began in the fifth grade when her poetry
entry won first place. Since that time she has been
an active writer of poetry, newspaper columns,
children's radio scripts, children's stories, plays,
religious song lyrics and greeting cards. Her
penchant for pen pals began in high school when she
began writing to a girl in Belgium. Forty-five years
later, while on a tour with her husband, she met her
friend in Brussells. She has been a member of the
Children's Radio Theatre Script Writers, the Iowa
Poetry Association, the Nebraska Arts Poetica, and
Idaho's Gem State Author's Guild. While in
Bartlesville she was active in the local Wordweavers
Writers Group, the Oklahoma Writer's Federation,
Inc. (OWFI) and the Society of Professional
Journalists (SPJ). Locally she was known for her
column "That's Life" published in the Bartlesville
Examiner-Enterprise for a number of years in the
1980's and 1990's.
Mrs. Stevens is survived by her son, James Stevens
and wife Sheree of Bartlesville, one daughter, Diane
