Frederick Ray Jolliff passed away peacefully November 24, 2017 surrounded by his family. He was born October 1, 1945 to Raymond Carl "Jolly" Jolliff and Elaine (Odom) Jolliff in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Fred graduated from Northwest Classen High School in 1964. Upon graduation Fred joined the U.S. Navy to become a SeaBee in the Engineering Division. He served two tours in Vietnam and one to Antarctica from 1966-1968. He proudly served on the MCB-58 Board of Directors the last several years and was very proud of his service to his country. After leaving the Navy, he worked at M.R.&J. Brokerage, a candy brokerage, alongside his father until he went to work for Southern Nazarene University Maintenance in 1989; he remained there until 2015. Upon retirement, he was bestowed a "Ornery" Degree of Doctor of Maintenance Arts. In his early years Fred enjoyed hunting and going to the lake. Freds love for the outdoors is rooted in memories of summers on the family farm with cousins, Lynn and Larry Odom, and lifetime friend, Randy Thomas. He loved to play golf (even though his ball never landed on the fairway), visiting Las Vegas, and spending time with family and friends. He was a hard worker, treated people with respect, and met everyone with a smile on his face. Fred never met a stranger; he would strike up a conversation with just about anyone. He was preceded in death by his father, Raymond Carl Jolliff. Fred is survived by his mother, Elaine Jolliff; wife, Lavonna Jolliff; his two daughters, Emily and husband Tim Acton, and Erica and husband Dan Blystone. He loved his bonus children just as much: John Moore and wife Ree, David Moore, and Dona Dunovant. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Luke and Jared Blystone, Marshall and Kendall Dunovant, David Anthony and Matthew Moore and Lauren Landeros; and great-grandchildren, Bella and Cesar Landeros, Lakai and Ell Moore.
