Edgar Roy Huffman

Edgar Roy Huffman of Elmore City, OK, born to Henry Quitman “H.Q” and Nora Katherine (Selby) Huffman on January 24, 1917 in Foster, Oklahoma, passed from this life on November 17, 2006 at the age 89 years. Edgar married Naomi Elizabeth “Dixie” Roller on September 30, 1939 in Pauls Valley. Edgar and Dixie have lived in Antioch area for 46 years. Edgar and Dixie began their lives together farming. Edgar began his career with Globe Oil Company in the mid 1940’s; which later became Phillips Petroleum Oil Company. He retired November 1, 1979 as a pumper . Edgar spent the remainder of his retirement tending to his ranch and cattle, often on horseback, fishing and spending time with his family. Edgar is well known in the local coffee shop for his morning discussions of current events and more importantly community chitchat. The world is a better place having known the amount of world problems solved at the local Badger Den and Gas’N Go. Edgar is responsible for teaching all 5 of his grandkids how to drive and drink coffee, at an age their parents certainly did not approve. His five major food groups consisted of meat, potatoes, coffee, Dr Pepper and homemade pies. Edgar was often in trouble with Dixie, as his quit witted humor would make her hotter than the frying pan she swore she would use on him. Edgar is survived by his wife Dixie of 67 years, his son Geary and his wife Pam (Pauls Valley), daughter Glenna and her husband Alan of (Ardmore), sisters Alpha Massagee of Pauls Valley and Elsie Tate of Oklahoma City, five grandchildren, Brenda, Jeff, Brandon, Steven and Tanya and five great-grandchildren, Lane, Tenley, Levi, Tayton and Sydney.

Pallbearers are Keith Teel, Trent Keller, Brandon Bourne, Steven Huffman, Jeff Huffman, Jerry Don Massagee. Edgar was an active member of First United Methodist Church and Elmore City Masonic Lodge.
