MILLS, Robert Lee first born son of Roy H. and Nancy Etta Lynch Mills. April 21, 1929 Sallisaw, OK November 28, 2000 Jones. OK. Service to his country spanned seven years as a Radio Operator. US Air Force. Retiring 1989, Tinker AFB, completed thirty years federal service. Single into his thirties. Robert said God's plan for a helpmate began upon marrying Linda Standifer, Valentine's Day 1967. Their fulfilling marriage of nearly 34 years was blessed with the pride and joy of his life, their two daughters. His hobby and love was his garden and his yard, which he groomed to the point of perfection. Robert overproduced his garden to share the bounty with others. Robert said, he had a wonderful family life, he looked forward to morning coffee and chit-chat with his wife on the porch, walks in the yard, good food and family around the table. Visiting his daughters homes, and hooking his grandson's wagon to the back of the riding lawnmower and pulling him around the acreage, brought much joy to his life. Among numerous interests, he most enjoyed reading the newspaper, keeping up with economics and politics, delivering meals to shut-ins, golfing, and fishing. Robert took his faith and salvation seriously, his church membership was of great importance, especially enjoying the fellowship of his men's Sunday School class. His Bible, by his chair, was faithfully read; and with a tender heart, he prayed. He was a loving husband, father, Papaw, brother, and friend.

He leaves here to join him later, as promised in the Word, his best friend and devoted wife Linda, two cherished daughters, Dorothy, husband Brent and adored grandson Brock Shetley, Polly Etta and husband Steven Schweigert. Three sisters, Polly, husband Charles Lackey, Lyla Lee Anthony, Wanda, husband Thomas Hensley. brother John D.
