Mary Patman

Mary Ruth Akers Patman went to her heavenly home on March 17, 2023, surrounded by her family. Mary was born Oct. 20, 1950, to Clifford and Omabelle Akers.

She spent her early years in Union City and graduated from Union City High School in 1968.

Mary was a career teacher, having taught in Union City, Marland, El Reno, Oklahoma City (Capitol Hill) and Granite as well as in Liberal, Kan.

She also had worked at the Oklahoma Wheat Commission and Canadian Valley Technology Center.

Her greatest joy was the birth of her son, David Paul, in January 1984.

Preceding Mary in death were her paternal grandparents, George Washington and Mary Elizabeth Akers; her maternal grandparents, Floyd and Maggie Needham; and her parents, Clifford and Omabelle Akers.

Mary is survived by her son, David (Stephanie); sisters, Peggy (Mike Whaley) and Margaret (Tyler Price); grandchildren, Devlyn, Brooklyn, Brielle, Maddox, Emory, Sterling Ford; niece, Mary Beth (Spencer Braggs); nephew, Carder (Kelsey Price); great-niece, Avereigh Braggs and great-nephew, Ezra Price.

Mary earned her bachelor's and master's degrees in Business Education from Southwestern Oklahoma State University. She enjoyed teaching high school and her students were her students for her entire life. She followed their lives after they left her classroom. She enjoyed watching her son play baseball and grandchildren participate in their school activities and sports.

Mary was raised in a Christian home and followed her profession of faith by baptism at First Baptist Church in Union City. Throughout her life, her faith guided her and gave direction to all that she did.

Services were held Thursday, March 23 at El Reno First Baptist Church under the direction of Wilson Funeral Home.
