Katie Marie Sanford

Katie Marie Sanford age 90 of Bridge Creek, entered the arms of her Savior, Jesus Christ on Friday, July 11, 2014. Marie was born to Floyd Day and Golden (Hale) Day on October 24, 1923 in Featherston, Oklahoma. Marie's passions were, her God, her church and her family. She loved her Jesus and was a faithfully servant of Woodland Hills Baptist Church in Newcastle. On Sunday's she loved greeting people with a warm hug and passing out church bulletins. She made friends with everyone. For many years she completed the Sunday school records, served and organized funeral dinners and for nearly 20 years she and Wesley prepared the gifts used at the Lords Supper. Marie enjoyed life and lived it to the fullest. She was proud to be a recipient of the Diane Award. She liked riding her tractor and brush hogging her land, even at the age of 90. As a 16 year breast cancer survivor, she participated in the Susan B. Komen race every year. Her daughters and granddaughters struggled to keep up with her fast pace. Marie was always cooking, baking and taking care of those she loved. Her biscuits and pies were her family favorites. The holidays were a magical time for Marie. It meant a full day spent with her family-talking, laughing, playing and of course, eating. At the end of the day, Marie always had the last word saying, "I Love You More". She was preceded in death by: Her Parents, Floyd and Golden Day; Three brothers, Floyd Jr., Earl and Carl Day; She is survived by: Husband, Wesley Sanford of the home in Bridge Creek; Four daughters, Marye Spier of OKC, Ludie Sanders of Romance, AR, Kay Marshall and husband Michael of Norman, Travis Miller and husband Don of OKC; Five sons, Romie Brown of OKC, Carl Brown and wife Rosemarie of OKC, Charlie Brown of Blanchard, Michael Sanford and wife Kathy of OKC, Terry Sanford and wife Kris of OKC, 18 grandchildren, 30 great grandchildren, 16 great great grandchildren and one on the way and her favorite dog, Thomas.
