Pat May Cowart

Patricia Cowart, 67, of Wann, OK, died Thursday in Bartlesville. Pat was born the youngest of eight children to Collen Hershell and Jessie Vetura (Wylie) Hampton on April 6, 1948, near Ada, OK. In Pat’s own words: “I was born at home, my grandmother delivered me. She was my dad’s mom, Flora May Dalley Hampton whom I was named after. We lived in a house that my parents built, a two-room cabin.” The family added on to the house and young Pat helped build the addition. Pat met Danny Cowart while she was waitressing; his coworkers teased him into getting a date with Pat. They were united in marriage on Nov. 6, 1964, in Oakman, OK. They moved to Illinois for a year before returning to Ada. Pat finished her last two years of high school, graduating in 1966 from Byng High School. Once Danny completed his college education the family moved to Bartlesville for his new teaching position at Sooner High as an Industrial Arts instructor. Pat babysat at home while raising her two sons and she especially loved taking care of infants. Once their kids were older Pat started her own silkscreening business in Dewey. Pat and Danny enjoyed 51 years of loving marriage. Pat had many passions in life that mostly centered around her family. Good food was never in short supply when making a visit to her home. She had a green thumb and spent countless hours nurturing her flowers and canning the vegetables Danny grew in the garden. Pat wasn’t afraid to fix broken appliances around the house (she just knew how!) and her favorite hobbies were crocheting, doing beadwork and making baskets. Pat and Danny loved being together, and she attended and catered many a Saltfork Craftsman Artist Blacksmith Assoc. meeting or get-together. Many of the other members made sure to attend meetings when they knew she would be cooking. Pat will be remembered for her loving nature and deeply missed by her family and friends. Pat is survived by her husband Danny Cowart of the home; two sons, Tracy Cowart and Tammy of Claremore, and James Cowart and Dee of Bartlesville; one brother Hershell Hampton and Donna of Oakman; one sister Jean Gunter of Benton, LA; six grandchildren, Tyler Cowart, Danielle Duke, Corey Cowart, Ashton Cowart, Blaine Peoples and Kassidy Peoples; and many nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents, one brother Bennie Hampton, and four sisters, Mig Brandon, Avanell Barnett, Lequita Sanders, and Leota Savoie. Memorial services will be held 11 a.m. on Friday, November 20, 2015, at the Davis Family Funeral Home Chapel, with Chaplin Mike McDougan officiating.
