March 8, 1941 – September 20, 2019

Gleynn Dale Masters, 78, passed away peacefully on September 20, 2019 at his home in Morrison, Oklahoma surrounded by his loving family.

Born in Wellington, Kansas on March 8, 1941, he was the son of William Wallace and Iola June (Washburn) Masters. At a very young age his family moved to Perry, Oklahoma where Gleynn attended school until his sophomore year. In 1957, when Gleynn turned 16 he joined the Navy.

On July 30, 1969, Gleynn married Brenda Joann Bryant in Osage County. They made their home in Ralston, Oklahoma for the next 50 years. When Gleynn’s health began to fail they moved to Morrison to be closer to his daughter Judy and his grandchildren.

Gleynn loved the outdoors. He enjoyed raising and riding horses on the family farm in Ralston. He loved his family very much and will be greatly missed. He was one of the best “Papa’s” around.

He was preceded by his wife, Brenda, in 1997 and his parents.

Tucker and wife Elizabeth, Dusti Beier and husband Travis, and Buddy Nichols and wife Amy all of Morrison, Oklahoma; five great-grandchildren, Aleigh, Maci, Tynlee, Brylee, and Jaxon; siblings, Larry Masters and wife Barbara of Enid, Oklahoma, Sherry DuBois and husband Jim of Colcord, Oklahoma, Willie Masters and wife Patty of Morrison, Oklahoma, Stella Deeds of Garber, Oklahoma, and Linda Jefferson.
