STUMPFF FUNERAL HOME
BARTLESVILLE, WASHINGTON CO, OK
(permission granted)
Olga Leigh Stubblefield, 91, long-time Bartlesville resident passed away
peacefully on February 16, 2018.
The family will be present for visitation from 12:30pm- 2:30pm on
Monday, February 26, 2018 at Stumpff Funeral Home and Crematory, 1600 SE
Washington Blvd, Bartlesville, OK 74006. A graveside service will follow
visitation at 3pm at the Memorial Park Cemetery Mausoleum with Aaron
Kirkpatrick of Adams Blvd. Church of Christ officiating.
Olga was born on December 11, 1926 in Gorman, TX to Andrew “Conway” and
Arabell (Harrison) Underwood. Two weeks later, the family moved to
Carbon, TX. Olga excelled in academic pursuits, while participating in
basketball, journalism and Home Economic Clubs. After high school, Olga
attended Abilene Christian College for a year before transferring to
North Texas State College earning a Bachelor of Science in Vocational
Home Economics in 1948.
In March of 1948, Olga married her high school sweetheart, Jack
Stubblefield, after his return from military service overseas and
subsequent graduation for Texas A&M. They made their home in
Bartlesville, OK, where Olga taught Home Economics at Central Jr. Hight
until after her daughters were born. Olga’s primary focus was family
life, raising her two daughters and enjoying her grandchildren, balanced
with participating in numerous organizations and clubs. She was an
active member of Sweet Gum Garden Club, Child Study Club; and in 1979
became a charter member of the Woolaroc Chapter of Questors
International Club which focused on historical significance. During her
25-year membership she also served as President.
Olga had a passion for playing Bridge until her mid-eighties. In her
late seventies, she discovered the challenges of an investment club
serving a term as President of this club also.
Olga was known for her skills as an excellent seamstress in producing
professional quality draperies and home décor. Her ability to create
beautiful and unusual garments, for herself and her daughters through a
sketch or mere description reflected her true ability and vision. Her
excellent culinary skills were relished by all family members. In
addition, her service to others was extended through teaching Summer
Bible School, serving as a Girl Scout Leader and volunteering as an aide
in special needs classrooms.
Olga enjoyed pursuing a variety of new activities and experiences and
continuing some interests for a lifetime. Her interests also included
gardening, flower arrangement, refurbishing antique furniture, antique
collections, pottery making, reading, bicycling, playing tennis, and
golf.
Olga is survived by daughters, Tana Stubblefield Grogan and husband
Steve of Bartlesville, OK, and Ginny Stubblefield of St. Petersburg,
Florida. Also surviving are grandchildren Joshua Suggs of Plano, Texas,
Chelsea Grogan of Edmond, OK, and Ross Grogan of Edmond, OK;
great-grandchildren Taylor, Jackson, and Collin Suggs of Plano, TX. She
is survived by a brother, Gene Underwood of Scottsdale, AZ, as well as a
number of nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband
of 68 years, Jack Stubblefield, on November 15, 2016.
