Goldie Townley Bugher
Goldie Townley Bugher passed away peacefully of natural causes in the early morning on Wednesday, September 25th at her home in Slaughterville. OK. Goldie was 101 years old.
Goldie was born on June 6th, 1912 in the Banner Community of Cleveland County, Oklahoma, to D.C. and Nettie Ellen (Corley) Townley. She was the fourth of eight children.
Goldie was an active member of the Noble Church of Christ and was able to continue attending faithfully in later years with the help of great niece Dennese Rosenfelt.
Goldie married Robert E. Bugher of Lexington, OK on September 30th, 1934. They moved onto their first family farm at Slaughterville later that year. Goldie remained on that homestead until her passing Wednesday. Her daily life soon revolved around raising her four daughters and building a robust farm operation, raising corn, wheat, alfalfa and cattle. When her granddaughter Terri Lynne started calling her "Momma G", the name stuck.
Grandchildren enjoyed Momma G’s stories of early 20th century life and the growth and development of the state. She recounted histories of her Townley and Corley ancestors who were among the first white settlers in Oklahoma. Goldie loved to sing songs from her youth.
Goldie’s father instilled a sense of civic duty in her. She often shared the memory of how excited she was when women got the vote in 1920, and that she was determined to exercise the privilege when she came of age. Goldie voted on nearly every ballot for eighty years and worked for the Election Board at the polls. She insisted on voting in person on election days even at age 100.
Goldie was preceded in death by her parents D.C. and Nettie Townley, her husband Robert E. Bugher, her siblings Zula Patchett, Charlie Townley, Ray Townley, Nettie Mae Smith, Flora McMillan, Roy Townley and Opal Mauldin, granddaughter Terri Lynne Love and great great granddaughter Juniper Eden Slate.
Goldie is survived by her daughers Judy Bugher of Lexington, OK, Nettie Mae Reed(Doug) of Lexington, OK, Kay Mattingly(Jack) of Seminole, OK and Roberta Slate of Casper, Wy, grandchildren Theresa Dew, Diana Turner, Julie Slate, Michael Reed, Susan Slate Franklin, Jack Mattingly and Erika Mattingly, thirteen great grandchildren and ten great, great grandchildren as well as a host of friends and family.
Special thanks go to Dr. Edna M. Manning, Dennese Rosenfelt and Joyce Carl for decades of love, care and attention.
The family also wishes to thank Regina Southern, Melissa Long, Kim McKiddy, Noble Church of Christ, Lexington Church of Christ and the many thoughtful caregivers and visitors for their help during Goldie’s last months.
Funeral Services to Celebrate Goldie's life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 28th at McMahan's Funeral Home in Noble, Oklahoma with interment services following at Fairview Maguire Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, the family would like to request that donations be made to the Tipton Children’s Home, or Hope Harbor Children’s Home.
