Margaret Elliott, 94, passed away peacefully April 27, 2016 in Broken Arrow, surrounded by her family.

Margaret was born on October 11, 1921 to Charles Sr. and Josephine Bailey of Waco, Texas. In 1941, Margaret married Sam Harry Elliott. Sam was a WWII and Korean War veteran where his service career took them to several different locations around the United States. They settled in Tulsa in 1954, where Sam worked in sales for KTUL radio and television. Sam and Margaret purchased Advertising Novelties Company in Tulsa in 1961 and Margaret did all of the accounting work before retiring in 2009 at the age of 88.

Margaret was a wonderful mother and could always be found at all PTA, scouting, and sporting events for all of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. An avid sports fan and especially OU football, where Margaret was a season ticket holder starting in 1976 until her health declined. She attended many OU football home games, along with many bowl games too. Even being from Texas, Margaret was the first to tell anyone that it was Boomer Sooner all the way!

Margaret was preceded in death by her parents Charles Sr. and Josephine, her husband of 48-years Sam Harry, and sister Ella Braun of Austin, Texas. She is survived by two brothers Charles Jr (Charlie) Bailey and Roger Bailey both of Austin, Texas. Her son Randy (Mary) Elliott, daughter Carolyn (Clayton) Hargis, and son Russ (Debbie) Elliott all of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Memaw is also survived by seven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, and a host of nieces and nephews.
