A Celebration of Life for Lottie (VanBuskirk) Wells, 89 years, of Lahoma, is 11:00 am, Friday, December 7, 2018 at Emmanuel Enid with Reverend Wade Burleson officiating. The family will lay Lottie to rest privately in Memorial Park Cemetery. Service arrangements are under the direction of Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home.
Lottie was born to Lewis and Ella (Bowles) VanBuskirk near Ringwood and lived in the Lahoma and Enid area all of her life. She married Milton Wells in 1949. Lottie worked at Central National Bank until the birth of their two children. She became a stay at home mom for the next twelve years until she was employed to do payroll for the Enid School District. Lottie retired from that position after 23 years. She and Milton lived the rest of their lives on a farm near Lahoma. She was known for her gardening skills and her love for animals.
Lottie is survived by her two children, son Alan Wells, of Enid; daughter Kathy Wells Lyons, of Woodland Park, CO; two grandchildren, Jessica Ricks and husband Jordan, of Moab, UT; Maggie Lyons, of Denver, CO; three great-grandsons, Leif, Kai and Rylan Ricks; as well as many nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her parents; husband Milton, and two brothers, Harley and Bob VanBuskirk.
