Homer Don Stallings Memorial Scholarship

Born to Mildred and Homer Stallings on February 7, 1932 in Bee, Oklahoma, Homer Don Stallings considered himself “a citizen of the universe”. Although no one really knew exactly what that meant, it was well known that he was quite the philosopher. He graduated from Nida High School in 1950 and went on to OSU to acquire his degree in Agriculture Science. On January 23, 1955 he married his sweetheart, Marye Ruthe Jones of which they celebrated 64 wonderful years together. They had five children, Terry Dewayne, Vickie Diane, Barbara Gail, Bobby Don and James Paul. Homer Don was a member of the Nida Baptist Church and he enjoyed ranching, showing cattle and horse racing. He also enjoyed his morning coffee with his friends at the Milburn Store, and visiting with his best friend, Earl. But most of all he loved his wife, children, his grands and great grands. In his eyes he felt he was the richest person in the world when it came to his family.
