Obituary, The Oklahoman, 31 July 2011, pg 28
Jody Robertson Farha, 86, died July 28, 2011, at Bellevue Health & Rehabilitation Center. A lifelong resident of Oklahoma City, she was born January 13, 1925, in Britton. where she attended Britton Elementary and Britton High School. Typical of the Greatest Generation, Jody's life was shaped by the Great Depression and World War II. From those times, and the influence of her remarkable parents, Jody learned generosity, resilience, humility and kindness. Always considered a real "looker," her outward beauty was simply a reflection of the beautiful person she was inside. In 1948, she married Melvin Roscoe "Roxy" Robertson, a WWII Air Corps pilot who spent his career in aviation. Married for 46 years, they had two daughters. After his death, Jody was fortunate to have a second love in her life when she married George Farha in 2001. Jody was preceded in death by Roxy in 1994 and George in 2001; her parents, Howard and Dovie Johnston; and younger brother, Steve Johnston. She is survived by her sister, June "Happy Talk"; brother, Stan Johnson; daughters, Roxanne (Rod) and Nancy (partner, Shelly); and four granddaughters, Sarah (Lee), Cary Anne, Courtney (Jared), and Leslie; four great-grandchildren: Cal, Hallie Anne, Rex, and Jack. Jody was full of life and always up for fun and adventure. She left behind a loving and close family, and many long-lasting friendships. A Memorial Service will be held Tuesday at St. John's Episcopal Church, her parish home of more than 60 years. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Martin Nature Park, made payable to Bette Jo Johnston Robertson Friends of Martin Nature Park.
