Eula Maye Stivers, 90, of Del City died Tuesday in Oklahoma City. Maye was born February 5, 1921 in LeFlore, Oklahoma. She was the daughter of James Franklin and Nannie Lou Borden.
Emerson described success when an individual has "won the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children." As a mother, grandmother, teacher, mentor and friend, Maye's beautiful example will live on in hearts forever. Maye was at the forefront of Oklahoma Education Association's early development working to ensure public education would meet and exceed the needs of children and the professionalism of teachers in the charge. She continued this endeavor throughout her career. In one's life you should be so blessed to have been touched by Maye Strivers. She retired as a teacher at Traub Elementary School, also active in Political Action Committee, Retired Educators of Oklahoma, ACT, OEA, Mid Del ACT, Eastern Oklahoma County Democratic Committee and Traub Elementary Teacher of the Year. She loved politics, cooking and her flower gardens. Our lives are so much richer as a result of our friendship, love, nurturing and guidance. Many will be saddened by her passing. She was a wonderful and very much loved mother, grandmother, aunt and friend and will be greatly missed. She is gone but will not be forgotten. We are all very sad to lose her.
She was preceded in death by her parents; daughter, Sandra Pollard; brother, Robert L. Borden; sisters, Ruth Mings, Rubye Parks and Rilla Wyatt; grandson, Nathan Pollard.
Maye is survived by her daughter and her husband; granddaughter; grandson and his wife; many loved nieces, nephews, and family members and dear friends. She is also leaving behind her beloved pets; Rascal, Tootsie Clair, Newman and Guss.
The family will receive friends at a reception and viewing from 6 to 8pm Friday in the Candlewood Chapel at Ford Funeral Service
