Brian T. Hinson

(February 13, 1939 – March 14, 2014)
The funeral service for Brian Tolbert Hinson, 75 year-old Enid resident, will be 11:00am Monday, March 17, 2014 at the First Presbyterian Church. Reverend Andrew Phillip Long will officiate. A private family burial will precede the service in Memorial Park Cemetery. Arrangements are under the direction of Henninger-Hinson Funeral Home.
Brian was born February 13, 1939 in Enid to Dr. Bruce R. and Elizabeth (Henninger) Hinson and died peacefully Friday, March 14, 2014 at St. Mary’s Regional Hospital. He attended local schools and graduated from Enid High School with the class of 1957. He attended the University of Colorado where he earned a bachelor’s degree in history. While at the University, he was a member of the Phi Delta Theta Fraternity.
Brian was previously married to the former Janet Jones on August 20, 1960. He attended the Cincinnati School of Mortuary Science graduating as Valedictorian of his class. He returned to Enid to continue working at the funeral home that his great-grandfather, H.H. Henninger, founded in 1915. He worked with Jerome Allen, and after his passing, Brian and Jerome’s son, John Allen, became partners for many years. In the late seventies, he also taught restorative art in the funeral service department at the University of Central Oklahoma.
All Brian ever wanted to do was work for the funeral home. He loved what he did and took great pride in taking care of the thousands of families he was honored to serve.
He was an elder in the First Presbyterian Church. He served as past president of United Way, was an Oddfellow, and quietly supported numerous local and national charities.
Brian is survived by daughter, Katherine (Hinson) Jordan and husband, Doug of Tulsa; sons, Matt B. Hinson and wife, Betsy of Enid; Adam Tolbert Hinson of Tulsa; three step-grandsons, Cale, Connor, and Lane Daughtery, all of Enid as well as several nieces, nephews, and cousin, Dr. Barton Carl and wife, Beatrice.
He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Bruce Hinson and infant sister, Betsy Hinson.
The family would like to thank the caring staff of St. Mary’s, Dr. Shepherd and staff, his care-givers, Vera, Lauren, Bev, Drena, and Naomi for their wonderful care. Also, thank you to the staff of Henninger-Hinson Funeral Home for their support throughout this time. A very special thanks to Tom and Ruth Ann Sailors, Ruth Ann Burnett, and Janet Wright for their friendship.
Memorials can be made through the funeral home to OMRF-COPD Division or St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital
