Kay Phyllis (Carroll) Barrington was born May 9, 1936 in Bradley, Oklahoma, the daughter of Louie E. Carroll and Eula Murl (Coon) Carroll. She died Wednesday, June 15, 2016 at her home in Bradley, Oklahoma.
Kay was raised in Chickasha and Bradley. She graduated from Friend High School and attended Oklahoma College for Women.
Kay married Harold Dean Barrington on June 25, 1955 in the Friend community. They raised five sons together and have been blessed with many added family members over the years. They bought land in the Bradley, Oklahoma area and the family moved there in 1978.
She raised her boys and worked right alongside Harold. She never knew exactly how many friends her sons were bringing home, but she always had food aplenty ready for them and she would load the boys and their friends up and haul them to whatever school event they needed to go to. She and Harold custom harvested from South Texas all the way to Canada. They also farmed, ranched, and custom harvested in Grady County for over sixty-five years. She always brought hot meals out to the fields and would feed the crew. Cookies and iced tea were always available at their home and she would feed anyone who came to the house.
Kay was greatly loved and will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and community. She was a Friend Home Extension member and also a member of the First Baptist Church in Bradley.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Harold, in 2014, and an infant sister, Marilyn Carroll.
