IN LOVING MEMORY OF

Obituary
Vacie Mae Stanford arrived in "Reeves Addition" on February 10, 1938 as the fourth born child from the loving union of Walter and Azalee Bess Stanford on February 10, 1939.
Vacie attended Langston Elementary School and continued her education in the Muskogee Public School system, ultimately graduating from Historic Manual Training High School.
Her christian experience began at an early age, under the leadership of Reverend McFrazier at Macedonia Baptist Church.
Vacie met David Chatman, Sr., and their love blossomed into marriage. Their love produced seven children.
For many years, Vacie styled hair and worked for the Waldorf Nursing Home, later moving to Wichita, Kansas. She worked for the Hospital there as a nurse and later, returned to live in Muskogee, where she labored for the last 35 years at Owens-Brockway Glass company. She was forced to retire when she became too sick to work. After her husband passed away, she shared her life with her companion, John McDowell and her family for many years until he passed in 2002.
In her 67th season, Vacie Mae Chatman left earth for eternity on August 13, 2006 from Tulsa, Oklahoma. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, two siblings, Dorothy Dedmon and George Stanford and one child.
Remaining to lament her passing; six children, David Chatman, Jr., Muskogee, Duane and Annette Chatman, Muskogee, Sharon and Gary Stancle, Tulsa, Lorrie Chatman, Tulsa, Bennett and Tracy Chatman, Broken Arrow and Bernard Chatman, Muskogee; thirty grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; four siblings, Mary Alice and Sherman Wallace, Maxine Norwood, Sammie and Margo Stanford and Nathaniel Stanford, Sr., all of Muskogee; a son-in-law that was very special to her, Gary Stancle; her dear friends, Linda and Brenda, Pam and Kathy, all of Muskogee; and a caravan of other relatives, friends and the "Reeves Addition" families.
The final hour will be held on Saturday, August 19, 2006 at High Noon in the Sanctuary of the Macedonia Baptist Church, 418 West Shawnee Avenue in Muskogee. The Pastor, Reverend Larry H. Smith, Sr., will officiate. Burial will follow in Booker T. Washington Cemetery in Muskogee.
