OBITUARIES
Wynona Grace Baucum
Oct. 3, 1922-Oct. 30, 2011
Wynona Grace Baucum peacefully left this life
Sunday, Oct. 30, 2011, around 2 a.m. surrounded
by her family. The last two weeks of her time was
spent in the company of many friends and her
husband, children, grandchildren and a new great-
grandchild. An atmosphere of peace and love made
our letting go of "Nana" a gift to remember.
Born in Tipton, Okla., Oct. 3, 1922, to Madge and
Clarence Bailey, she had a idyllic childhood. With
no siblings she became a great lover of animals
which included a pet pig and rooster that rode in
the car with her and captivated the imagination of
her grandchildren.
She married James Donald Baucum of Altus, Okla.,
in January 1943, and followed her husband as he
Baucum
served in the US Navy during WWII. They began their family shortly after the
war and had three children starting in 1947. Teaching in northern Oklahoma
for a short while and then moving to Quanah where they raised their family
the next 40 years. During this time Wynona finished her teaching degree at
Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls and Don left his school admin-
istration office to enter banking with a close friend. Wynona retired from
teaching after 25 years to enjoy grandchildren and travel.
Their children were a long time joy and provided vacations and holidays
with a rich closeness. Their oldest son is Bob Baucum of Quanah, husband
of Marida and father to Bailey, Libby and her spouse Matt Kolar, Jim and
his spouse Magdalena, and Austin. Wynona's great grandchildren are Hens-
ley and Kate Baucum of Wichita Falls, Max and Cecilia Kolar and another
daughter due in February of San Antonio. Their middle son, Gary Baucum
and his spouse Deb live in Long Beach, Calif. Gary's three children are Katy
and husband John Yates of Reunion, Colo., Danny Baucum of Long Beach,
Calif., and Mark and his wife Jaclyn of San Pedro, California. Wynona's great
grandchildren are Makenna, Brooklyn and Josiah Yates of Colo., Isabela and
Luke Baucum of San Pedro and Michael and Cailean Vitullo of Long Beach,
Calif. Their youngest is a daughter, Janet. She and her husband, Jim Sims of
Boerne have cared for Wynona the last few months.
Don and Wynona enjoyed retirement in Kerrville for several years and then
moved to Taos, New Mexico. While in Taos for 8 years, they made many
close friends of neighbors and from their church, St. James Episcopal. They
returned to Texas last March and have sorely missed their home in Taos.
