Florene Waggoner of Enid passed from this world on July 16, 2016 at the age of 95. She was born April 4, 1921 to Taylor and Alfretta (McClaflin) Weld on a homestead southeast of Manchester, OK. Florene married Vernon T. (Benny) Waggoner on June 30, 1940. The couple farmed and raised cattle in the Byron-Driftwood area for many years. After retiring, she and Benny bought and managed an apartment complex in Kiowa, KS. Following her husband’s death in 1983, Florene moved to Enid and was active for many years as a volunteer at St. Mary’s Hospital. In 1990, she began work as a greeter for Enid Wal-Mart and continued what she considered her mission, “to smile and welcome shoppers”, retiring in 2000. Florene will be remembered with fondness and will be greatly missed by all of her friends and family.
Florene is survived by daughters, Connie Butler Walker of Stillwater; Sondra McClaflin of Enid; grandsons, Butch and Rhonda Butler of Cherokee; Michal and Shelly Butler of Albuquerque, NM; great-grandson, Garrett Butler of OKC; great-granddaughters, Janea (Brady) Carrington of Coppell, TX; Jessica Butler of Amarillo, TX; half-brother, Calvin Clark of Mountain View, AR.
She was preceded in death by her husband, two sisters, one brother and two half-sisters.
