Obituary of Anita Margie Wallace

Please share a memory of Anita to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Anita Margie (Bailey) Wallace, 98, a retired nurse, died Wednesday, November 26, 2014 in Tulsa, OK. The middle child of three girls of James Robert Bruce Bailey and Mabel Fay (Connelly) Bailey. Anita grew up on a farm during the Great Depression and decided she wanted more out of life than farm living. In 1939, she enrolled in nurse’s training in Hot Springs, AR, graduating in 1941 just before WWII. After graduation, she returned home and married Fred Howard Wallace. She worked in the Pawnee Hospital during WWII while Fred was in the service. After the war, they moved to Tulsa where they had two daughters. She worked at various hospitals in Tulsa, also helping in her daughter’s schools and girl scouting. Anita was a true friend, a faithful Christian, loving wife, mother and grandmother/great grandmother. She was preceded in death by her husband Fred Wallace; 2 sisters, Mildred Duckworth, of Tulsa and Gladys Morgan, of Gentry, AR. She is survived by two daughters, Elaine Harney Williams and her husband, Jim, and Marilyn Brummett of Tulsa; five grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. We will remember our family matriarch always with loving thoughts. The family would like to thank Clare Bridge Senior Living Solutions and Advantage Hospice for the great care given to Anita. The family will receive friends from 3PM – 5PM Sunday at the Ninde Brookside Funeral Home and service 10AM Monday at Memorial Park Cemetery Chapel.
