Obituary:
California won't be nearly as sunny, without the beautiful soul Margo Adams Baker.
My dearest auntie, Mom's sister Margo passed on Thursday evening.
She was truly amazing as an artist, a lover of animals (esp cats) a collector of antiques, a seamstress, a Homepathic Physician, a lay counselor, pastoral staff, and a highly sought-after caregiver. She loved the Lord with all her heart. She will be greatly missed.
Cancer accelerated her end of life to just a few months. We got to say goodbye, but man... It does hurt.

Obituary:
Viveca Joan Anderson was born June 29, 1955 in Minneapolis, MN the youngest of three daughters to Helene and John Anderson. She passed September 22, 2024 at Inverness Village in Tulsa after a lengthy battle with Multiple Systems Atrophy (MSA).

She was a graduate of Memorial High School in Tulsa but spent most of her childhood attending schools in Shawnee Mission, KS. She moved to Tulsa with her parents her senior year in high school. Viveca earned a degree in computer science from Tulsa Community College and entered the workforce as a computer programmer. She was a pioneer in the field of computer bar coding first with Gear Products before moving to Thrifty/Budget Rent-A-Car.

She elected to take early retirement to pursue a life in southern Florida, a longtime goal, and relocated to Englewood, Florida. Always an active, outdoor oriented person, Viveca enjoyed hiking, snorkeling, kayaking and the abundant wildlife and fauna of Florida. Her life there gave her immense pleasure. She shared her life’s journey with her boyfriend of 48 years David Hagar. Viveca and David traveled the world together and enjoyed a wonderful, loving relationship. When she was diagnosed with MSA, David moved to Englewood to be her primary caregiver and continued in that role until her health required that she locate in an equipped facility. That is when she returned to Tulsa to be closer to family. He continued by her side her until her passing providing everything from help with daily chores to transportation to welcome comic relief.

Viveca is survived by sisters Debby Schreier and her husband, George Rishmany, of Stilwell, KS, Jackie Willis and her husband, Harry, of Sand Springs, OK, and nieces Erin Willis of Tulsa and Kelsey Willis of Brooklyn, NY. Per her wishes Viveca's ashes will be interned in a man-made coral reef off the coast of Sarasota, FL. The family suggest that friends make contributions to their favorite animal welfare organization in Viveca’s name. She would like that very much.

Obituary:
Timothy Kirk Bacon was born on October 19th, 1955 in Tulsa, Oklahoma and died on July 19th 2012.

Tim is survived by his mother, Jan Bacon of Houston, Texas; a brother, Lin Bacon of Tulsa and his children James and Alex; a sister Julie "Bacon" Miller of Houston, Texas and her husband David and children Allison, Davis and Meredith; and a host of Tim's close and loyal friends.

Tim graduated from Memorial High School in 1973 and attended Oklahoma State University shortly thereafter. He owned and operated his own concrete construction company up until his work efforts were cut short when he became disabled several years ago.

Tim was always fun loving, his smile was contagious, and he was incredibly humorous. He could easily make everyone in a room light up and laugh. Tim played softball with his friends from the Brookside Bar and went on many fishing trips that he really enjoyed. He loved nature and cooking and eating outdoors.

Tim suffered from a rare auto-immune skin disease which progressed over the years. He endured many surgeries, drugs and cancer treatments. Through it all, he kept his sense of humor with incredible strength and a will to live. The disease caused him to become permanently disabled 5 years ago. About a year and a half ago, he was diagnosed with squamous cell throat cancer. His mother, Jan, lovingly cared for Tim through the last years of his life. When Tim first became disabled, he volunteered at Catholic Charities coat drive, and, although it was difficult for him, he did it because he "wanted to give back”.

Tim was a proud American and a fan of Ronald Reagan. He was a huge fan of NASCAR, John Wayne, Pontiacs with 455’s, his brother’s Oldsmobile 442, Triumph motorcycles and fast driving with his Dad. He was considered a “Wheel Man” by most of his friends because he was a great driver of cars or motorcycles. Tim LOVED fishing, Grand Lake, his Mama’s cooking, The Johnny Carson Show, all kinds of music, boxing, making breakfast, golf, OSU football and his three dogs….all named “Ramsey”…(after the infamous street in Stillwater that so impacted his life.)

Even through his illness and last days, Tim managed to have a positive outlook on life, a wry sense of humor, and could still somehow laugh and make others laugh.

Robert graduated from TU and held a BM and MM in Piano Performance. He was a member of PhiGamma Kappa honorary scholastic fraternity and was elected by faculty to the Pi Kappa Lambda National Music Honor Society. He received piano study awards throughout his academic career and appeared in concert at the Tulsa PAC with artists such as the Istomin, Stern and Rose Trio, and Jean-Pierre Rampal. Robert was the subject of a KOTV human interest story broadcast on December 20, 1979 focusing on an unusual blend of artistic and physical culture. He performed as a guest artist at the 1981 International Music Workshop in Salzburg, Austria; musical director and pianist for the Gaslight Dinner Theatre’s summer productions; accompanist for the American Choral Directors Association honor choir tour of Mexico; the Oklahoma Symphonia and Chorale; the University of Tulsa Modern Choir; and as a clinician for the 1983 Northwest Oklahoma State University summer music camp, emphasizing mind-body relationships in assimilating musical literature and choreography.

Robert debuted in 1984 at New York’s Carnegie Music Hall.

“..And to his credit, Mr. Barr never forgot that Chopin’s “Polonaise in F-sharp minor (Op 44) had its origins in a sturdy peasant dance: he downplayed demonic furies in favor of a refreshing straight forwardness.” –New York Times

–” He is a strong pianist with a developed sense of musical architecture, and he produces a rich, full tone.” –New York Times

After his Carnegie Hall debut and touring Europe as a concert pianist, Robert started a movie and TV show prop warehouse in New York City. At age 41, he married Alice Ruvane in New York City. He then played the organ for a church in Brooklyn and 10 years and taught.

Robert died in Tulsa at age 56 in September, 2011 following a long illness. He is survived by friends including his devoted friend, Nancy Templeton Welch from the Memorial class of ‘73.

1955-2019

From John's funeral service program:

"There are no problems, only solutions".

From being humble beginnings, he blazed his own path--like playing ice hockey in Oklahoma. John became professionally successful by getting into software sales when computers were barely smaller than basements.

John loved being a dad, an uncle, and a grandparent. He would meet his kids were they were and his imagination was bigger than anyone's. He was often invited to play with the neighborhood kids even when his own children weren't home. His carefree and positive approach to life taught us all a better way to live.

John is survived by his daughter, Jen Armstrong; his sons Eric and Patrick, and his lifelong friend, Tom Wright. His funeral was held in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

Sam was born in Bexar County, TX in February, 1995 and died in Cushing, OK on October 1, 2009. He attended Oklahoma State University, worked for McDonnell Douglas and was an Environmental, Safety and Security Supervisor at Special Energy Corporation. Sam loved the great outdoors and to hunt. He is survived by his daughter Christina.

He wrote his own farewell on October 1, 2019:

"Well I’ve been fighting renal cancer now for two years. Lost a kidney and tried all kinds of chemo. Doctors gave me the long sad face and told me to find a good hospice. Not giving up though. With the help of a cousin with connections, I’m trying to get into MD Anderson to see if they can do anything. Got my will done now working on getting funeral and tombstone ready.

I’ve lived a pretty good life and had a lot of fun times so I’m not too scared of kicking the bucket. One out of three get cancer so why not me. Luck of the draw. I just worry about those I leave behind. So I’m almost ready and have no problem meeting my maker.

Hey folks! The road goes on forever and the party never ends!
The rest of you keep on keeping on!
Endeavor to Persevere!
P.S.-my hair is growing back out!
Gray and curly as a poodles butt!"

Sam is buried in Anadarko, OK.
