Murray Elton “Sonny” Beesley Sr. passed from this life at the age of 80 on August 21, 2019 in the comfort of his home in Tishomingo, OK with his loving family surrounding him. Sonny was born on March 14, 1939 in Connerville, OK to Herbert Elton Sr. and Ileene (Massengile) Beesley. He married the love of his life Susie Basham on September 17, 1968 in Gainesville, Texas and the two have been inseparable since. Farming, hauling hay and cutting wood were how Sonny spent his career years working. He loved being in the great outdoors; whether he was camping with his wife Susie, fishing, gardening, hunting or trapping, if he was outside, he had a great big smile on his face and was content. He loved tinkering on old cars, building things and was just a good ole handy man as most would say. Sonny’s most important thing in life was his big family and being the father to 18 children that he adored and loved spending all the time he could with. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, friend and so much more and everyone who knew him will forever miss him.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Herbert and Ileene Beesley; 4 infant sons and 1 daughter; 1 grandson and 1 granddaughter; sisters, Edith Keith and Maybell Stockley; brother, Herbert Beesley.

Those he leaves to cherish his memories are his wife, Susie Beesley; 8 daughters, Lorretta Ward and husband Steve of Gardner, Kansas, Anita Zurline and husband Mark of Atoka, Wanda Gray and husband Rodney of Tishomingo, Jeanie Cain of Ravia, Deniece Beesley of Mill Creek, Tammy Beesley of Atoka, Darlene Beesley of Tishomingo, Lamanda Conrad and husband Jeryme of Moore; 5 sons, Jerry Beesley of Augusta, Kansas, Sonny Beesley and wife Ely of Norman, Sonny Lynn Beesley of Tishomingo, Murray Beesley and wife Lacey of Ravia, Carlas Beesley and wife Nicolina of Elizabethton, Tennessee; brother, Tim Beesley of Tishomingo; sister, Wanda Sue Robins of Tishomingo; 44 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren and a host of other family and friends who will deeply miss him.
