Betty "Pat" Patricia (Payne) (Hicks) Lee

Betty “Pat” Payne Hicks Lee, 89, of Dewey, died Monday in Bartlesville. She will be greatly missed by her beloved husband Charles and the large extended family God doubly blessed her with. Pat was born the daughter of Lawrence Leslie and Alta Maye (Lamkin) Payne on November 22, 1929, in Caldwell, KS. She was united in marriage with Everett M. Hicks in August of 1946. They made their home in Dewey where they raised their son Roy. Pat worked for Marple’s grocery store, and then S&H Green Stamp Store until she retired. After 52 years of marriage Everett preceded her in death in 1998. Pat was lucky to find a second great love with Charles Dean Lee of Dewey. Pat and Dean got married May 30, 1999, and they enjoyed twenty years of loving marriage. Pat and Charles enjoyed taking trips to Branson, Missouri, and eating at their favorite restaurant the Copan Truck Stop. Pat enjoyed sewing and quilting, as well as making and decorating wedding cakes for family and friends. For the past twenty years Pat has been a faithful member of the Nowata Church of Christ. She was a loving wife and took good care of Dean. Most of all Pat was a loving, kind and generous woman who leaves behind many loved ones who will dearly miss her.
