Jim Hilligoss Sr. was born January 21st, 1950, in Tulsa, Oklahoma to Orvan William Hilligoss and Viola Marie (Lewallen) Hilligoss. He was raised near Shell Creek Lake in Sand Springs. Jim attended Anderson Public School and graduated from Charles Page High in 1968. In 1971, Jim joined the United States Air Force and was stationed in Merced, California, before leaving for Kwang Ju Air Base in Korea. After serving overseas, he was stationed in Omaha, Nebraska, for a short time before leaving the Air Force in 1975. Jim returned home to Sand Springs where he would spend the rest of his life back at home residing in the Sand Springs and the Shell Creek area.

Jim worked at Unit Rig for many years before deciding to go back to school. He worked while going to school at night and graduated from Tulsa Junior College with an associate degree in Machinist Technology in 1985. On February 10, 1986, Jim hired on at American Airlines and worked as an Aviation Maintenance Technician until he retired in 2007. Jim took pride in his work and formed lasting friendships. They were always pulling pranks on each other, joking around, poking fun, and he always enjoyed his daily naps and domino games.

Jim was a man of many talents; there wasn't anything he couldn't fix. He loved tinkering in the shop, rebuilding his motorcycle, the old wheel horse, working on his Ford tractor, and rebuilding his 1964 Ford truck. He also enjoyed working with wood and built many things for the family home. If he wasn't in the workshop, he would be outside enjoying nature.

On April 10th, 1990, Jim met the love of his life, Stacey. They dated for several years before getting married on April 24th, 1993, at Word of Life Fellowship. Together they built a beautiful life for their children and grandchildren filled with love, laughter, and adventure.

Jim loved camping, fishing, boating, riding his motorcycle, golf, metal detecting, traveling, and just about anything outdoors. The family would spend every summer out at the lake camping, fishing, boating, and enjoying nature with the kids, grandkids, and close family friends. His favorite campground was Washington Irving and he always enjoyed the yearly trip to Buffalo National River.

Jim's greatest joy in life was his family. The love he had for his children and grandchildren was immeasurable. They were his world, and everything he did was for them. Being Papa was his most cherished title; one he carried with pride and deep affection. Jim will be remembered by all who knew him as a hardworking, dependable, and protective man. He was loving, fun, and full of humor, with a touch of onery charm and a stubborn streak that only added to his character. Above all, he was deeply devoted to his family and was loved by everyone fortunate enough to know him.

Jim was preceded in death by his parents, Orvan and Viola Hilligoss; brothers: Jerry Hilligoss, Orvan Hilligoss Jr., Ronnie Hilligoss; and sister, Linda Bartlet. He is survived by his loving wife, Stacey Hilligoss; his children: Nana Hilligoss, Beverly Ferguson, James Hilligoss Jr, Madisen Cole and husband, Hunter Cole; his brothers: Keith Hilligoss Sr. and wife Patsy, Randy Hilligoss and wife Brenda; sister, Debbie Beggs and husband, Jack; sisters-in-law: Freeda Hilligoss, Carolyn Hilligoss, and Bettye Hilligoss; grandchildren: Jordan Miller, Deontay Hilligoss, Corey Hilligoss, Lance Jones, Felisity Miller, Jalen Miller, Talyiah Miller, Jake Walker, Braden Hilligoss, Tyler Hilligoss, Brighton Cole, Wyson Cole, Charlie Cole, Lakelyn Cole, and grandson on the way, Tracker James Cole.

Jimmie DeWayne Martin, affectionately known as “Jim” or “Cowboy Jim,” entered his heavenly home on Friday, March 20, 2026, at the age of 76. Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Mobley-Groesbeck Funeral Service of Sand Springs.

A memorial service celebrating Jimmie’s life will be held at 11:00 a.m., Friday, April 17, at Chandler Park. Military honors will be presented by the United States Army.

Jimmie was born October 31, 1949, in Kansas City, Missouri, to LeRoy “Chick” Martin and Marjorie Lee (Salmon) Martin. He spent his early years in Kansas City before moving with his family to Tulsa at the age of 10, where they settled in West Tulsa. As a boy, Jimmie loved the outdoors—spending his days at the creek, fishing, and enjoying the country life.

In the 10th grade, Jimmie made the bold decision to leave school and join the United States Army. He proudly served his country in Korea and Vietnam as a paratrooper, marksman, and ham radio operator. Jimmie deeply loved his time in the military and often expressed that he wished he had remained in service.

Following his honorable discharge, Jimmie began a long and dedicated career as a truck driver. He first worked for Hale-Hassell in Tulsa before becoming a long-haul driver, traveling all across the country. Though he saw nearly every state, Alaska remained the one place he never made it to. Later, he worked for a short time with Crossland Construction before retiring in 2009.

It was at a quaint bar that Jimmie met the love of his life, Sherry Hayes. The two were married on July 9, 2008, in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Together they shared a joyful life filled with fishing trips, dinners out, dancing, and cherished companionship. Jimmie and Sherry were truly best friends, able to talk and lean on one another through life’s journey.

Jimmie had a deep love for the outdoors and treasured time spent hunting deer, turkey, and doves with his buddies and his dear friend, Gary Nickles. Many of those special memories were made at the farm in Shidler, where days were filled with hunting and fishing, and evenings brought laughter, dominoes, campfires, and the occasional shot of whiskey.

Known for his humor and lighthearted spirit, Jimmie loved to joke, tease, and make others laugh. He avoided serious conversations, choosing instead to bring joy to those around him. His laugh was unforgettable—so hearty it would leave him nearly falling out of his chair. Jimmie had a way of lighting up every room with his smile, and he truly never met a stranger.

After meeting Sherry, Jimmie began attending River of Life Church in West Tulsa, where his faith continued to grow.

Jimmie was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a proud grandfather. He was known for his kindness and generosity, always willing to help anyone in need and often described as someone who would give the shirt off his back. He was a steady presence in the lives of those he loved and brought warmth, laughter, and comfort to all who knew him.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Chick Martin and Marjorie Martin Abner; his brother, Charles Martin; and his twin brother, Bruce Wayne Martin.

Jimmie is survived by his beloved wife, Sherry; his daughters, Susan and Becky Wilkins; his grandchildren, Kinsey Braden and Andy Phillips; his sisters, Sandi Ford and her husband, Doug, and Carol Claxton and her husband, Charles; along with many extended family members and dear friends who will miss him greatly.

Jimmie’s legacy of laughter, kindness, and unwavering love will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.

She was born on February 2, 1934, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, to William and Lillian Robertson. Margie spent her early years in Westville, Oklahoma, where she attended Westville schools.

As a teenager, Margie traveled to California, where she met the love of her life, Gerald, on a blind double date. Although Gerald had originally been paired with another young woman that evening, he and Margie quickly discovered a special connection. They were married shortly thereafter on January 7, 1951, while Gerald was serving in the United States Navy and stationed in California.

Together, they shared 50 wonderful years of marriage, building a life centered on family, love, and devotion. During their time together, they made their home in Oklahoma, Colorado, Texas, and California.

Margie found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She especially loved gardening, with a fondness for yellow roses, and, in her younger years, enjoyed reading and crocheting. She was known for her strong sense of punctuality and often said, “Early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable.”

She was preceded in death by her parents, William and Lillian Robertson; her beloved husband, Gerald Shipley; and her son, Ricky Wayne Shipley.

Margie is survived by her sons, Billy Ray Shipley and Jerry Robert Shipley; her daughters, Sheryl Susann Seabolt and Tamara Lynn Rhoda; 18 grandchildren; 39 great-grandchildren; and 6½ great-great-grandchildren.

She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.
