Notes

  • She always went by Nan.  We called her Aunt Nan.  Her funeral information had her name as Netheline M Callaway.  This order of her names is also found in the Social Security Death Index, though no family source agrees.  The censuses which record her variously as Martha N, Mattie N, and Netheline (with no other initial).

    She was my favorite aunt on my Dad's side (Orville Lee Jenkins), or at least the one I was closest to.  She is the one of Dad's siblings I have the earliest childhood memories of as a distinct person.  I was 7 or 8, Nan came and stayed with us a few days when we lived on 11th Street (US Hwy 287 West) in Quanah, Texas.  This was before she married.

    Nan married late in life and never had children of her own.  She loved Lenard's children like her own, and always spoke to us of them with deep affection, and she would keep us updated on news of her family.

    I remember our family visiting them in Midwest City when I was a child.  I remember going to church services with them at First Baptist Church.  My girlfriend Edith made a trip with our family to Oklahoma in 1968 and we visited Nan and Lenard then.  Later after Edith and I were married we visited them many times.  When we were back in the US from Kenya, East Africa, in 1980-81, we visited them with our two new boys, in the US for the first time.

    In her first census enumeration 1-year-old Nan is listed by Mattie, the nickname for her first name Martha.

    Nan's family moved to Chickasha between 1935 and 1938.  She was lsited with her parents in the 1938 Chiickasha City Directory.

    Her husband Lenard reported to family members that Nan died 30 March 2007, in Richardson Memorial Hospital in Richardson, Dallas County, Texas, after having a stroke.  My sister Michele notified me by email.

    "Just wanted to let you know Aunt Nan away last night around 10:00 pm. Uncle Lenord said the funeral would be at 1st Baptist church in Midwest City Thursday April 5th"
    --  Michele Jenkins Park, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 31 March 2007

    Nan had been undergoing dialysis after suffering kidney failure in August 2006.  She and her husband Lenard had just moved to Richardson when she had her stroke, and she died about two weeks later.

    I found that the funeral remembrance card information, as well as the obituary published in the Midwest City Sun, indicated that Nan died in Plano, Texas, a neighbouring suburb of Dallas.  I would think that the funeral announcement information was based on information from Lenard, but we heard no update on the place where she was when she died.  Maybe she was moved from Richardson to a nearby facility in Plano, where she died shortly after.  I am reporting the place of death as Lenard gave it to us.

    The funeral was held 5 April 2007 in First Baptist Church, Midwest City, Oklahoma, where Lenard and Nan had been members for decades.  The funeral, with burial following in Arlington Memory Garden, was conducted by Bill Eisenhour Southeast Funeral Home, Oklahoma City.

    Here is the text of the Obituary that appeared in the Midwest City Sun, 8 April 2007:

    "Netheline (Nan) Callaway, 88, died March 30, 2007, in Plano, Texas. A funeral service was 2 p.m. April 5 at the First Baptist Church in Midwest City. Burial followed at Arlington Memory Gardens. Services were under the direction of Bill Eisenhour Southeast. She was born Dec. 25, 1918, in Mountain View, to Joseph and Virginia (Terry) Jenkins. She moved the Midwest City area from Chickasha in 1947. Nan married Lenard Callaway in Oklahoma City June 5, 1959. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Midwest City and was an administrative assistant for the FAA. She resigned to work with Lenard on other business ventures. She is survived by her husband of 48 years, Lenard Callaway; three stepchildren, Tricia Callaway Bolz, Tony and Michael Callaway; and many nieces and nephews."
