Thelma, better known as “Sammie Craig” passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving daughter and son-in-law, Mary Kathryn Matlock-Smith and Ronald Smith, on Saturday, December 23, 2017. She was born on September 15, 1921 in Norman, Oklahoma, to Otis Adrian Fox and Reba Bowls-Fox.
Sammie was a kindhearted lady, a Christian and faithful Methodist, and a generous woman whose life revolved around her family and her career as a Nurse. She graduated from Norman High School, continuing her education and becoming a Nurse, working for Dr. Willard, Dr. Belknap, and Dr. Wall. She was an active fifty year member of the “Order of Eastern Star”. It cannot go unsaid regarding her extraordinary gift of baking, most notably her Cherry Pie, well known by friends, neighbors, and family -- relished by all!
Sammie’s endearing family member was and “is always” her beloved and adored grandson, Dr. Gregory A. Smith, Pharm. D. and his wife, Gina, a resident of Orinda, California, in the San Francisco Bay Area, along with her two great-granddaughters, Bailey Smith (Age 21) and Sydney Smith (Age 18).
Sammie lived with her daughter and son-in-law, Mary Kathryn and Ron Smith for the past ten years after they moved from San Ramon, California, and purchased a home in Norman, Oklahoma.
