Radell Jean Obituary
Radell (Winton) Weisen Jean, 85, longtime Duncan, Oklahoma resident, passed away on July 13, 2020, at 10:12 A.M. at home in Duncan.
Funeral service will be at 10:00 A.M. on Wednesday, July 15, 2020, at Eastside Church of Christ, Duncan, officiated by Ron Stough, minister. Burial will be in Resthaven Memorial Gardens, Duncan, under the direction of Whitt Funeral Home.
Radell Winton was born July 14, 1934, in Dallas, Texas, the first of two children of Loyd Franklin Winton and Irma Lee English Winton. When she was six weeks old, in the midst of the Great Depression, the family moved to Borger, Texas, where her father had secured a job, and they made their home there for 20 years. Radell graduated from Borger High School in 1952. She then attended college at Abilene, Texas.
On August 18, 1956, she married Gary Lee Weisen in Abilene. To that union were born two daughters, Carole and Lorinda. The couple separated in early 1962, and Radell and her daughters moved to Duncan, where her parents had moved a few years earlier. On April 6, 1962, she was employed by Halliburton Services and spent the next 37 years with the company, beginning as a Stenographer and working her way up through several secretarial grades to Senior Secretary when she became Department Secretary in the Credit Department. There she worked for four consecutive Credit Managers. In 1992 the entire Credit Department was transferred to Houston, Texas, where she continued as Department Secretary. In April, 1999, she retired after 37 years of employment with Halliburton and moved back to Duncan where her two daughters lived.
On June 10, 2000, Radell married Robert Murray Jean in Duncan. After their marriage, they lived in Jay, Florida for three years while Robert's young son completed high school. Then they returned to live in Duncan for the past 17 years.
Radell had been a member of Eastside Church of Christ in Duncan since 2003, of Northside Church of Christ in Duncan from 1962 to 1992, and of several other congregations of the Church of Christ during residencies in other cities, having been baptized at age 12 in Borger, Texas.
She is survived by her husband, Robert Murray Jean of Cantonment, Florida; son, David Kendall Horton, Griffin, Georgia; daughters, Carole Yvonne (Weisen) Glover and Lorinda Lee Weisen, both of Duncan; a grandson, Russell Lynn Glover and wife Sheyenne of Duncan and their son Zander; son, William Patrick Jean and his wife Blair and their sons Landon and Lane of Cantonment, Florida; a granddaughter, Kimberley Michelle Valencia of Palmdale, California; two great-granddaughters and two great-grandsons: Elissa and daughter Leylah; Ariana, Andrew, and Giovanni, all of Palmdale; her brother, Frank Winton of Duncan; a nephew, Thomas Boyd Winton, his wife Joy, their daughter Emma Hope and son Rhett Boyd, all of Comanche; and many cousins, including Jackie Thomas Sleeker of Duncan; Kenneth Thomas and wife Helen of Marlow; and Larry Thomas of Oklahoma City.
Preceding her in death were her parents, Loyd Franklin Winton and Irma Lee English Winton; her grandparents, Albert Thornton Winton and Mary Alma Howell Winton; and Robert Lee English and Florence Flora Scott English; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
