Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. John 12:14


Hubert (Faye) Roller, a resident of Elmore City Oklahoma passed away on June 7th, 2023. Faye was born a southerner in Vicksburg Mississippi. Despite moving from Mississippi to Texas and finally to Oklahoma due to her father's oil field transfers with SOHIO, she remained a southerner in body, soul, and spirit. If there were lingering reservations that she wasn't in fact a southerner, she had a way of dispelling any last remnants of doubt in the inquirer.

Faye was born to Hubert H. and Wilma (Butts) Hancock, bonified southerners as well. After graduating high school in Elmore City, she attended East Central University for a short time and then entered the work force. Faye's work ethic was unassailable. She insisted on mowing her own expansive lawn well into her seventies. Prior to retiring from working for the Commissioner of Garvin County District 2, Faye worked for the Garvin County Court Clerk's office and Dowell Oil Company in Healdton Oklahoma.

Faye was a dedicated mother that protected her sons with a fierceness that would rival a Mama Bear's. She was loyal to her friends and unmovable in her convictions, guarding both at times to her own detriment, but she wouldn't have had it any other way. She loved all genres of music, and particularly anything by Janis Joplin, her favorite being Ms. Joplin's Bobby McGee. Faye loved her family, magnolia trees, rainy days, early mornings, and flowers. She relished watching a variety of birds feeding at her many feeders in her back yard. Faye relished life.

Faye was proceeded in death by her father, mother, and grandson Caleb Gregory.

Faye is survived by Kenny Work of Elmore City, Ok; Faye's two sons, Gregory of Purcell, Ok; Quinton & (Brandy) Roller of Norman; sister Pat & (Gordon) Melson of Ada, Ok; sister Sheila Peck of Pauls Valley, Ok; sister Tawana & Gene Campbell of Ninnekah, Ok; six grandchildren; three great grandchildren; and numerous nephews, nieces, and cousins.


A memorial service will be held for Hubert (Faye) Roller of Elmore City, Oklahoma on Monday, June 12th at 11:00 a.m. The service will be conducted at the First Baptist Church in Elmore City, Oklahoma. Services are under the direction of Wooster Funeral Home.
