Marvin Dwaine Jirous - November 17, 1935 - April 18, 2024

Departed: 04/18/2024 (Oklahoma City)

Obituary Preview: Marvin Jirous, 88, passed from this earth peacefully on April 18, 2024. With deep family roots in Perry, Ok, he built a successful career as an entrepreneur and business leader known for hard work, natural ability, and a capacity for building friendships that would last a lifetime. As a teenager he had a newspaper route in the mornings and worked in a grocery store week nights and

weekends. After he graduated from high school in 1953, Marvin worked at a grocery store in Ponca City for two years but returned to Perry and married Barbara Milliron, who became his lifetime partner. Together, they built and managed a Dairy Boy in Fairview, OK. While they were running the Dairy Boy, they met a super salesman named Charlie Pappe, a native of Kingfisher and resident of Woodward who had recently created a partnership with Troy Smith, the founder of a little chain of drive-in restaurants called Top Hat. A year earlier, they had renamed their fledgling enterprise Sonic, “Service with the Speed of Sound.” Charlie, impressed with the Dairy Boy operation, asked Marvin and Barbara if they would like to be partners with him to open a new Sonic. In 1960, convinced that Charlie was opening a door to a brighter future, they said yes. Two years later he and Barbara opened their first Sonic in Alva, Oklahoma. Marvin and Barbara worked most days for the next two years to keep labor costs low and learned every aspect of running a drive-in. In 1964, determined to grow their budding business, Marvin and Barbara hired Danny Winters who became a part owner of the Alva Drive-In and with whom the Jirous and Winters families would later partner to grow what is

now one of the largest Sonic franchisee groups in the Sonic Drive-In system. Within three years, Marvin and Barbara had part ownership in six Sonics. Then,

tragedy struck. Charlie Pappe, at the age of 51, died from a massive heart attack. Losing his mentor and good friend was a staggering blow, but Marvin was sustained by his ability to make friends and earn trust from those around him. That earned trust opened new doors of opportunity. One of Marvin’s best friends for life was Matt Kinslow, a native of Seminole County who had been recruited to the Sonic family by Charlie Pappe. In 1967 the founder of Sonic, Troy Smith, asked Marvin and Matt if they would join him at company headquarters to run Sonic Supply. Troy would select franchisees, while Marvin and Matt would manage the equipment packages and do the training for each new drive-in. For the next several years, when working his partner's day off, Marvin spent Mondays in Alva, Tuesdays in Blackwell, Wednesdays in Ponca City, and Thursdays through

Sundays traveling across western Oklahoma supervising installations and training. Through their hand-shake agreement, Marvin, Matt, and Troy struggled to keep up with demand for new drive-ins. The openings increased from 5 in 1968 to 9 in 1969, 16 in 1971, and 28 in 1972. In 1973, as the demand for Sonics grew, all agreed a new corporate structure was needed. The result was the creation of Sonic Industries, which included five company-owned drive-ins, the equipment operation, and ownership of the franchising operation. Troy Smith, the largest shareholder, would be chairman of the board. Marvin, the entrepreneur from Perry, would be president. From 1973 to 1980, Marvin served as president of the fastest growing quick service restaurant chain in the nation. At the heart of that expansion was the option book, where decisions were made about who got a franchise and where it would be located. Marvin was the keeper of the option book. Their success gained national attention. The pace of expansion quickened from 28 new Sonics in 1972 to 201 in 1973, 274 in 1974, 406 in 1975, and 653 in 1976. By 1978 there were more than 1,000 Sonics scattered across 20 states, while corporate income soared from $246,700 in 1974 to $17.3 million in 1977. In 1978 the Sonic board of directors approved a three-to-one stock split. This “Sonic boom” ended only when a national recession compounded by high interest rates and a gasoline shortage rocked the industry. Marvin stepped down as president to rescue his own Sonics. Free from his duties as president, Marvin focused on expanding his own drive-in network while looking for investment opportunities. From 1962 to 1967, Marvin and Barbara had invested in six Sonics scattered from Alva to Arkadelphia, which was run by their daughter Jeanette Jirous. While serving as president of Sonic Industries, they created new partnerships and opened another dozen or more drive-ins. Ultimately, the number of Sonics they either owned or were associated with grew to 85. Initially, the business model usually included one partner who owned the building, one partner who raised the funds to buy the equipment and franchise, and one partner who served as manager. All shared in the profits. In 1990, their son Jay entered the business and quickly rose from trainee to managing a drive-in. In 2019, with Thomas Collins as attorney and partner, Jay opened another new Sonic on the far northwest side of Oklahoma City. Like many farm kids, Marvin and Barbara never lost their love of the land. The family still owns the family farm southeast of Perry, and they have bought several more farms, including one near Ames, Oklahoma, where drillers found an extension of the Ames Hole, the famous field discovered by Harold Hamm. Other entrepreneurial ventures include a string of banks later sold to BancFirst Bank. He and Barbara have shared their good fortune over the years. They have sponsored a number of exhibits at the Oklahoma History Center, including “Crossroads of Commerce” and “Launch to Landing: Oklahomans in Space.” They also have enjoyed giving to OETA, where they are regularly thanked on air for being “Producers.” With major gifts, they served as founding partners of the Perry Alumni Association. There is one other good cause they regularly support. It is the Cherokee Strip Museum in Perry, dedicated to collecting, preserving, and sharing the story where their story started. As with other Perry pioneers, their legacy is never far from home. Marvin is survived by his wife of 65 years, Barbara Jirous, his son, Jay Jirous and partner Kelly Orr, daughter, Jeanette Jirous, all of Oklahoma City, along with numerous

nieces and nephews, along with countless partners and friends.

Viewing will be from 11:00 AM until 7:00 PM Wednesday, April 24th at Vondel Smith Mortuary North, 13125 N. MacArthur Blvd..

A private family service will be held. Marvin will be laid to rest in the Grace Hill Cemetery in Perry, OK.

William Ewers White - February 11, 1945 - April 11, 2024

Departed: 04/11/2024 (Oklahoma City)

Obituary Preview: William E. “Bill” White was born February 11, 1945 in North Island, California where his father was stationed in the military. He completed this life on Thursday, April 11, 2024 in Oklahoma City at the age of 79.

Bill’s family returned to Oklahoma City following WWII. He was a proud resident of his beloved hometown and honored to be a member of one of the original families of the city. His childhood was spent in NW OKC where he enjoyed attending St. Luke’s Methodist Church, having breakfast with his grandfather at Beverly’s, going to Springlake Amusement Park, and playing baseball at local fields. Bill graduated from Northwest Classen High School in 1963. He went on to earn his associate degree from Eastern Oklahoma State University and then attended Northeastern State University for his Sociology major. He then earned a master's degree in Applied Science from Oklahoma State University.

Bill married Mary Alice Fuhrmann on February 14, 1970 at St. Luke’s Methodist Church. He celebrated their anniversary every 14th by bringing home flowers. Bill served his country in the U.S. Army and Oklahoma Army National Guard for 26 years and two days, serving two active duty tours in Germany and serving domestically in the aftermath

of the Oklahoma City bombing.

When it was time to start his career outside of the military, Bill began working for the State of Oklahoma at the OK Tax Commission alongside his paternal Grandmother. After a brief time at United Electronics Institute, he returned to state government at the Oklahoma Corporation Commission in Quality Control, where he retired. While there, he created several plans for the Office of Emergency Management that are still used today.

During his off-hours, Bill regularly played softball and volunteered with the Church of the Servant camera crew filming and/or producing services and weddings. Over the years, he also paid it forward by volunteering at many charities such as March of Dimes, Bikers for Babies, Special Olympic, American Red Cross, Infant Crisis Services, Race for the Cure, and WhizKids.

Bill liked to put people at ease with his humor and gift giving. He could easily find out a stranger’s life story within a few minutes. He gifted pastries to church meetings, fruit baskets to his dentist’s office staff, donuts to teachers during state testing, and always kept his candy dish stocked for his coworkers. He also had a passion for vegetable gardening, with his favorite part being, of course, giving away what he grew. Bill’s good-natured humor led to many classic sayings. He always responded to anyone’s “Have a good day” with “It’s better now.” If someone asked, “Did you find everything you needed?” he responded, “And then some.” He joked about full streetlights instead of full moons, teased about how he must already be home if his car could be seen in the driveway, and gave his own twist to “No U Turn” signs saying “No… You turn.”

Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Ewers “Sid” White, Jr. and Ana “LaRuth” (Bowlin) Anderson; and his brother, Steven Allen White.

He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Mary; his eldest daughter, Jeannie Pappas of Edmond; his son, James White and his wife Amanda of Collinsville, OK; his youngest daughter, Beth Huddleston and her husband Keith of Norman, OK; his grandchildren, Jeremy Pappas, Morgan White, Adriane White, and Darcy Huddleston.

The family will receive friends from 5:00 until 7:00 PM on Thursday, April 18th at the Vondel Smith Mortuary, 13125 N. MacArthur Blvd. A memorial service will be at 10:00 AM Friday, April 19th in the Celebration Center at Church of the Servant, 14343 N.

Departed: 03/24/2024 (Oklahoma City)

Obituary Preview: Robert “Bob” Woods was born to Elzie and Vickie (Kusek) Woods on April 20, 1944 in Oklahoma City. A lifelong resident of Oklahoma City, Dad ended his ten-year fight with Parkinson’s Disease on Sunday, March 24, 2024, at the age of 79.

Bob was a proud three-sport letterman and 1962 graduate of Mount Saint Mary’s High School, where he developed the wry sense of humor that he displayed to the end. Following the example of his Uncle George and Uncle Andy’s heroic World War II service, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps that summer and profoundly changed the course of his life.

After training at Camp Pendleton, CA, he embarked in USS PRINCETON (LPH-5), forward-deployed from Long Beach, CA to Subic Bay, Philippines.

He was honorably discharged at Camp Lejeune, NC, in May 1966, three days before his promotion to Sergeant.

After minoring in walk-on football at East Central State in Ada, Bob married Linda Ruth Story on August 11, 1967. They made Oklahoma City their home, and he translated his Marine experience into a 36-year telecommunications career with AT&T, Lucent, and Hertz, becoming known as a respected baseball coach, staunch Putnam City North Panther booster dad, die-hard Sooner football fan … and, most importantly, the beloved Pahoo to eight grandchildren.

Preceded in death by his parents, Bob is survived by Linda, his wife of 56 years; his son, LCDR Rob Woods and his wife Lisa of Lithia, FL; his daughter, Amy Richards and her husband Jeff of Muncie, IN; his sister, Carolyn Woods of Oklahoma City; his brother, George Woods and his wife Jane of Oklahoma City; and his grandchildren, Gabe and Noelle Woods and George Ethan, Andrew, Allison, Adam, Nate, and Aaron Richards.
