Letha Pearl (Buntin) Reeder Flagor was born March 6, 1923, near Glencoe, Oklahoma, to Wincer Nathan Buntin and Salina Belle Young. She attended Glencoe schools.
She married John Thomas Reeder, Jr., in 1941. They lived in McAlester and Guthrie before settling in Stillwater and later in Yale. They had four children; Thomas Reeder, Carl Reeder, and twin daughters Janice and Janet Reeder. The Reeder’s operated the Hudson Willis Overland dealership in Stillwater and then from 1956 to the mid 1980s owned and ran the Reeder Ford dealership in Yale, where Letha did the bookkeeping, and sold parts and insurance. John Reeder died in 1987.
In 1974 she married Samuel E. “Pete” Flagor at their new home in Yale. She gained five step-children and many grandchildren.
For years, Letha enjoyed bowling with friends in Cushing, where she held many of the league records. She once bowled eight strikes in a row, and held a high average for her team. Always a seamstress, Letha was a charter member of the Cimarron Valley Quilt Guild. She also quilted at Diamond Valley, a rural church her parents had attended near Stillwater. She made many quilts for her children and grandchildren and lost count of the actual number after years of beautiful piecing and loving stitching.
Letha also loved playing card games and was a part of a Yale Pitch Club for years. In later years she was part of a widow’s ‘chicken foot’ domino group that met in Cushing. She was an avid Scrabble player to the end.
She also organized Girl Scout Troop 53, in Yale. She influenced countless young girls through her tireless efforts. She was a member of an earlier organization in Yale called the Child Study Club, a group of women who met monthly.
She was preceded in death by her parents, seven siblings, both husbands, and stepdaughter Alice Harmon. Survivors include sister Veda Ault; children Tom Reeder and wife Barbara, Carl Reeder and wife Cynthia, Janice Reeder, Janet Reeder, Gail Flagor and wife Barbara; Barbara Mesnier; Linda Carnes and husband Gary; Brenda Graven and husband Frank; 15 grandchildren, numerous great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
