Rev. W.M. Howard of Marlow officiated.

Mandrell died Tuesday, May 28, 2002 at the age of 73.
He was born Nov. 1, 1928 in an old farmhouse north of Lawton at the foothills of the Wichita Mountains on the mail route STAR.
As a young boy raised during the Depression, he hunted, fished, and trapped small animals for their furs, selling them to get money to buy school supplies.
His family said his recollections of the Depression were of hard times for lots of the folks, but with cattle, hogs, chickens, and a garden, his family had plenty to eat most of the time.
In 1945, as World War II was winding down, he enlisted in the Army Air Corps.
Mandrell was stationed in the S.A.A.C. Unit in San Antonio, Texas and then in the 509th of Roswell, N.M. under the command of Col. Doc Blanchard.
He was stationed in Windover, Utah during the atomic bomb testing, and there his M.O.S. was Military Police #677.

While of tour in Europe, he flew in the Berlin Air Lift, making flights from Frankfurt to Templehoff.
During this time, the military separated the Army from the Air Corps, creating the United States Air Force.
Mandrell always protested the new uniforms, Air Force blue, and since it was close to the time for his discharge, he was not required to wear them, family members said.
After serving three years, eight months, he was returned to San Antonio, Texas for discharge.
He earned his pilot’s license and worked as a helicopter mechanic for the civil service in Ft. Sill and Ft. Rucker, Ala.
During this time, his family said he invented a device called a "cording joint," which kept the drive shafts in helicopters from uncoupling during flight.
Mandrell’s "inventive mind" produced several feasible creations many years before their time, such as a propane fired gas gun and self-opening gate.
He worked part time as a cement finisher, and as a farmer he worked in the broomcorn, peanut, and cotton fields.
He operated a combine for 16 years while harvesting wheat, soybeans, and sunflower seeds from Texas to Canada.
Mandrell spent his last years living in Fletcher.
