DOROTHY BALES

July 18, 2019 - 1 Condolence

Dorothy Bales, age 86, passed away on July 6th, 2019, at her home while under the care of Hospice of Green Country. Dorothy was born June 24th, 1933, in Tahlequah, OK to Eston and Flora Jackson. She graduated from Central High School and married her high school sweetheart Bob Bales in 1950. Dorothy spent her most memorable career years working as a legal secretary, when she had to retire from her favorite employer, Gable, Gotwals, due to Multiple sclerosis.

In her free time, you would invariably find her with ‘something to read’ in her hands. Following that love, she tried her hand at running her own bookstore but found that it too took too much of her energy and eventually closed the doors. It just was not the same as reading a good book!

Leisure time at home was spent caring for her & Bob’s many different animals at their farm. As time went by, they eventually were left with only their two faithful Rottweilers.

Dorothy was preceded in death by her husband Bob, her parents, step-mother Irene, her sisters Pauline Lang and Rosalee Jackson, brothers-in-law Jack Bales, Wayne McClure and Jimmy Lang, sister-in-law Gerie, son Tom Bales and son-in-law Paul E. Shirley.

She is survived by her sister Norlene McClure (Sunnyside, WA) , brothers Jene (CA.) and Eston, along with remaining children: Bob Bales Jr, Sharon Shirley, daughter-in-law Connie Bales, Rhonda Evans (Larry). She will also be missed by grandchildren Robert (Melinda), John, Amy, Angie, Tim (Kelley), Sean (Emma) and Ian, along with nieces, nephews and great-grandchildren.

Your presence we’ll miss, your memory we’ll treasure!!

    My former mother-in-law (Mom Bales) who had such an infectious laugh and beautiful smile was so loving to me. I feel so fortunate to have known Mom since 1980. She was always reading books to constantly learn new information and knew so much about taking care of farm animals.
    She made the best Fruit Cocktail Cake! She loved her Rottweiler dog breed and raise beautiful puppies. Mom believed strongly in marriage and that couples should stay together and work always toward “the good of the union.”

    Mom was so Blessed to have such wonderful and loving care from her youngest child, Rhonda. Mom never complained of her debilitating illness of Multiple Sclerosis or felt sorry for herself. She was so very courageous and strong and always, always cheerful when one visited her or talked to her by phone.

    I have many memories of Mom and pray I never forget them and her unique laugh! I was Blessed to say goodbye to her and tell her how much I loved her! I was Blessed to hear the words from her “I Love you, too, honey.” I love you Mom and will never, never forget your loving ways and I will remember your laugh and see your smile as long as God allows me!

    Love you Sandy (Bales) Gray
