Boyd of Holdenville, Kelly and Carrie Mantooth, Lewistown, Mont., Vicki and Randy Hansen, and Cathy Mantooth, Poteau, Okla., Phillip Mantooth and Robbie and Loyal Mantooth, Jr, Spiro, Okla.; grandchildren; Kristen, Kaycee and Kara Mantooth of Lewistown, Mont., Patty and Kevin Nolen and Daniella Casahuaman and Cali of Holdenville, Josh, Ellen, Jessica and Regina of Poteau, Carrie of Boise, Idaho, Ashley of Perry, Okla., Tosha and Tiffany of Spiro, Okla. and six great-grandchildren.
