Marion Gay | Obituary | The Ada News – Theadanews

Marion Elizabeth Gay Marion Gay passed away April 25, 2021, at her home in Ada, OK. Marion was born Dec. 7, 1927, in Depew, OK. to Charles Albert and Hazel Eileen Thompson Long. She was an only child. Marion’s entire childhood up through high school graduation was spent living outside of Depew on an oil lease where her father was employed by Getty Oil. Later on, Marion met and married Hughie Thomas Gay, Jr. of Bristow, OK. who had been recently honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy and began employment with the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety as a Dispatcher and later the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, as Trooper. Mr. Gay was initially stationed in Pawnee, OK., but later reassigned to Ada which became his and Marion’s permanent home.
Marion was an outstanding seamstress and an absolutely wonderful cook. Many young ladies in the Ada area attended high school proms wearing a dress professionally stitched by Marion. Marion’s food, especially her rum cakes became pretty near famous throughout Pontotoc County around the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. She would spend countless hours in the kitchen baking the cakes for anyone who requested one. Throughout college, her son’s friends referred to his mother’s house as “Marion’s Country Kitchen” where chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes, and gravy along with all the fixin’s, as well became quite known and revered.
Marion absolutely loved spending time with family and friends enjoying nothing more than sitting around the table telling stories on each other and laughing almost to the point of bringing tears to the eyes. Marion played basketball at Depew High School and that paved the way for her love of sports. She truly enjoyed watching her grandkids play high school athletics and enjoyed watching sports on television, especially the OKC Thunder and Texas Rangers. Her son always told her that if she had won the lottery and had to go pick up the money if a Thunder game was on she would tell the lottery commission “I can’t come get the money until the Thunder game is over”.
Marion was preceded in death by her mother, Hazel Long, her father Albert Long, her husband H.T. Gay, daughter-in-law Sandy Gay and her loving companion, her dachshund Buddy.
She is survived by her daughter, Nancy Johnson and husband Bruce of Ada, Ok. and a son, T.R. Gay of Jesse, Ok. Three grandchildren, Chris Johnson and wife Amber of Ada, Ok., Lisa Wilson of Denton, TX. and Maris Montoya and husband Dan of Powder Springs, GA. as well as eight great-grandchildren – Jalen, Jace and Jevin Wilson; Conner Johnson; Ashley and Hayley Gregg; and Evan and Cole Montoya.
The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, April 30 at Criswell Funeral Home. Graveside services will be held at Memorial Park Cemetery at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 1, 2021
In lieu of any flowers, the family requests donations are made to the American Cancer Society.
