Thelma L. “Becky” Trimble, 95, of Tulsa, passed away Saturday, February 1, 2020 at Oklahoma Methodist Manor in Tulsa. Born in Centralia, OK on November 17, 1924 to the late Garfield and Lizzie Parkison, she was the youngest of six children.
Becky was preceded in death by her husband of 65 years, James R Trimble, sisters Lennie Ellis, Peg Richardson, Helen Sharpton, and brothers James & Everett Parkison; daughter Dolores Ann Wyatt, grandson Parrish Cook and great grandson Tyler Benson.
Becky is survived by her daughters Connie Morse (Bill) and Denise Williams (Randy) and son-in-law Basil Wyatt along with 6 grandchildren – Cristal Roth (Richard), Lesha Benson, Torsten Cook (Julie), Dr. Eric Wyatt (Stacey), Dr. Heather Cribbs (Howard), Lexie Mitchell (Erik) and 15 great grandchildren, 2 great-great grandchildren and a niece, Janice Sharpton.
Calling the Tulsa / Broken Arrow area “home” for over 75 years – Becky worked together with her husband to build a successful sheet metal welding business and after selling the business, went on to become a top-ranked Real Estate agent and broker – earning numerous awards & recognition for her outstanding sales achievements. She had a keen knack for being both practical and successful in any business undertaking and was always re-inventing herself for a new chapter of life.
Retirement years found her organizing bus and motor home trips, traveling and playing cards with her vast group of friends and acquaintances made over the years through church, work, travels and daily life.
A long-time member of Eastwood Baptist Church, Becky served as a Sunday School teacher, President of the WMU, school member board, Senior Adult Ministry, and 50th Anniversary celebration planning committee chairman.
Her sense of humor, dry wit and immense wisdom will be greatly missed but never forgotten. She touched so many just by simply being herself.
The family would like to thank the wonderful staff at Oklahoma Methodist Manor Holliman Center for lovingly caring for Becky over the last 6 years and in her final days.
A celebration of life service will be held Thursday, February 6, 2020 at 12:30p at Floral Haven chapel with pastor Gordon Small officiating. Public visitation will be Wednesday 4p-7p at Floral Haven.
Flowers are appreciated or donations may be made in Becky’s name to Alzheimer’s Foundation of America at https://alzfdn.org/support-us/donate/ or charity of choice.
