LOVING
Kenneth Wayne Loving, age 69, of Hollis, passed away late Thursday evening, January 19, 2011, at Harmon County Memorial Hospital.
Kenneth was born on March 6, 1941, in Hollis, Oklahoma to Wilbur Truett and Essie Pauline (Smothermon) Loving. A 1961 graduate of Hollis High School, Kenneth began working at the local movies and drive inn theaters at age thirteen. Later, in high school, he worked at Trammell Grocery and United as a butcher, even driving back from college on the weekends to cut meat. On September 8, 1967, he married the love of his life, Bobbie Garrett, and they spent then next forty-three wonderful years together, until his death. Always having a strong work ethic, Kenneth hauled cotton burs for many years, worked on irrigation pumps during the summer months and worked with his dad at Loving"s Garage. After his dad"s death, he continued to operate the garage until his own death. Kenneth was a faithful school board member for many years, never missing a meeting. His life included several hobbies, such as, fishing, water skiing, working on old cars, spending time working on his old "number 41" red Chevy race car, OU and Hollis football and basketball and making the largest freezer of banana nut ice cream he could make, but the number one hobby Kenneth enjoyed was being with his family and watching his grandchildren participate in their sporting events.
