Rex, an internationally known architect, urban designer, and champion of historic preservation efforts is also remembered as a beloved mentor and staunch human rights advocate, who was as intent on improving the lives around him as he was on improving society. A memorial service is set for 11 a.m. Friday at the Boston Avenue United Methodist Church. A visitation is planned from 5 to 7 p.m. at Ninde Brookside Funeral Home. Rex, graduated at the age of 16 valedictorian of his class at Kemper Military School. He then attended Oklahoma State University obtaining his Bachelor's Degree in architecture. His education continued at MIT where he obtained a Master of Architecture degree. He served two terms on the University of Oklahoma's Board of Visitors for the College of Architecture (regional and city planning, landscape architecture, construction management). His artwork is in the permanent collections of his alma maters, OSU and MIT. Rex was married to Margie Crowley Ball in 1960, with whom he shared many good times, many laughs, and four wonderful daughters. The couple began their married life in Oklahoma City where he began his career following in his father's footsteps at HTB, Inc. an international architecture-engineering-planning firm. They then moved to Tulsa where he founded the Tulsa branch in 1962. In 1976 Rex became a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, one of the youngest up to that time to have earned the Institute's highest honor. Marge and Rex's union ended in 1983, but they remained close friends until his death. Rex met Stephen Edwards in Oklahoma City in 1984. The same day they formed an inexplicable connection, a beautiful relationship that has endured for 26 years. Their connection was so complete that they finished each other's sentences and heard each other's thoughts. Through their bond, Rex gained a 5th wonderful daughter. Rex and Stephen have traveled the world sharing their love of architecture, interior design, and their zest for life. On the 24th day of October 2008 they were finally able to legally marry in Palm Springs. Mr. Ball has uniquely served as President of the local AIA Chapters in both Tulsa and Oklahoma City, as well as the State Council. He is a registered planner by the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP). He has served on the Board of Directors of both Tulsa and Oklahoma City Chambers of Commerce.

All of these illustratively incorporate the design values of accessibility and people-orientation that are Ball's trademarks. Mr. Ball's intense interest in our Nation's urban areas found expression through personal participation on committees in Tulsa and on similar committees within the National Trust for Historic Preservation/Preservation Oklahoma, the American Consulting Engineers council, the U.S. Jaycees, The American Institute of Architects (AIA) national component and local chapters, and the Society of American Military Engineers of which he was a sustaining member.

His honors include the Governor's Business in the Arts Award, the Curt Schwartz Business in the Arts Award, and the Gannet Foundation's Five Who Care Humanitarian Award for long-standing commitment to economic development, education, cultural enrichment as well as efforts to help the handicapped and the needy. In November 1995, OSU singled him out for its Distinguished Alumnus Award for significant service plus personal and professional achievements. In recent years, he has focused his attention on Tulsa's magnificent collection of Art Deco buildings by chairing the 6th World Congress on Art Deco; was chair of the International Coalition of Art Deco Societies; former president of the Tulsa Historic Preservation Commission; co-founder and president of the Tulsa Art Deco Society. In addition , Rex was a founding commissioner and chairman of the Metropolitan Tulsa Transit Authority and a member and former president of Downtown Tulsa Unlimited. Rex is remembered as a devoted friend, loving husband, father and grandfather, who will be dearly missed. Rex is survived by his husband, Stephen Edwards, his daughters, Julie Kay Willingham, Linda Carol Ball, Sharon Louise Corbin and her husband, Clarence, Renee Marie Boehnen and her husband, Craig (all of the Dallas area) and Tiffany Gail Bjorlie and her husband, Jeremy of Tulsa; his grandchildren, Michael Ball, Cheyenne Corbin, Elyse Glass, Serene Corbin, Derek Corbin, Matthew Willingham, Aleigha Boehnen and Josh Corbin; his children's mother, Marge Crowley Ball; his special friends, Dwight Kealieher, Mike Tedrick, Steve Aberson and Brent Ortolani.

Pendola, 67, of Tulsa, Oklahoma died on Thursday, August 4, 2016. She was born on April 22, 1949, in Peoria, Illinois, the daughter of Joseph and Lorene (Aupperle) Pendola. Tina proudly served our country in the United States Army from 1973-1976, then worked Civil Service and at the Denver VA Hospital before coming to Tulsa in 1981.

She always cared about others and was a good friend. I think of her from time to time and and have fond memories of her. I just discovered her passing and am very sorry to hear about it. I will always remember her. Robert Brown - September 28, 2019 at 12:44 PM “ I just discovered that Tina had died. We were out of town when it happened and missed hearing the news. We both enjoyed working with her when Floral Haven did their salute to Women in Military Service. She was an amazing lady!

She was 87. A celebration of life will be held at 4 p.m. Nov. 12 at All Souls Unitarian Church, with a reception to follow. Per McDonald’s wishes, her family invites everyone attending the reception to bring homemade cookies. Known for her vision and tenacity, McDonald was a force for change in Tulsa for well over 50 years, embracing a variety of causes including public school integration, the arts and LGBTQ rights. Notably with the latter, her influence extended throughout Oklahoma and beyond. McDonald and her husband, Joe, were the founders of the Tulsa chapter of Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, the first in Oklahoma, and she later served as president of the national PFLAG organization. It was during her tenure as president, in 1998, that the organization extended its mission to include transgender people. McDonald was active on a state and national level in promoting legislation that advanced LGBTQ rights. And when a proposed law threatened that advancement, she was there to fight it. That included testifying before Congress in 1996 in opposition to the federal Defense of Marriage Act. Toby Jenkins, former director of Oklahomans for Equality, said McDonald was a source of needed encouragement for her fellow LGBTQ rights advocates, assuring them that “incrementally, bit by bit, relationships would form and change would come.” “Nancy taught us to show respect and civility to everyone, even if they were hateful to you,” Jenkins said. “If they spoke that way, she believed it was just that their hearts and minds had not been opened or challenged. Eventually the change of heart would come. I will miss that most about her.” A Nebraska native and graduate of the University of Nebraska, McDonald moved to Tulsa with her family in 1966. She didn’t waste any time getting involved in her new community. As a parent of school-age children and PTA member, she joined a small group of Tulsa Public Schools parents in helping with voluntary integration, starting with Burroughs Elementary School. Then, in 1973, district officials turned to McDonald to help integrate Booker T. Washington High School. Chairing a committee for volunteer recruitment, McDonald led the successful effort to recruit white student volunteers to attend the previously all-Black school, holding a series of meetings with students and parents. Her volunteering led to a full-time job with TPS, coordinating volunteers and leading the further development of the magnet school concept. Motivating more community volunteers to get involved in their public schools was at the heart of McDonald’s love for the Partners in Education program. She participated in a related White House Symposium and wrote the guidelines for PIE groups that were published as a book. She remained involved with PIE through the end of her life. McDonald was also passionate about scouting. She was a former board member and president of the Girl Scouts of Eastern Oklahoma. In that role, she helped guide the organization through the tumultuous time following the 1977 murders of three girls at summer camp. McDonald was recipient of a number of honors and awards. They included induction into the Tulsa Hall of Fame and the dedication of the Nancy & Joe McDonald Rainbow Library in her and her husband’s honor at the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center. McDonald’s commitment to the LGBTQ cause began in the 1980s when one of her daughters came out as a lesbian. The experience of supporting her daughter would shape McDonald, and later she became a mother figure to many LGBTQ people who found themselves facing alienation from friends and family. “We called her ‘everybody’s mother,’” Jenkins said. “She was a surrogate parent for so many whose families had rejected them or had not accepted or understood them. There are national LGBTQ leaders who came out of Oklahoma who Nancy mentored about family relationships.” And her motherly influence didn’t end with the LGBTQ community, Jenkins said. “If anyone was marginalized, it became her cause,” he said. Morva McDonald, McDonald’s daughter, said her mother was “just so good at seeing every individual.” “At her core, she was always trying her best to help people be seen, be recognized for who they were. And that’s what allowed her to reach across so many different (tel:9187436271) causes and arenas.”  https://www.stanleysfuneralhome.com/obituary/nancy-mcdonald 2/4 �2/6/25, 3:31 PM Obituary | Nancy McDonald of Tulsa, Oklahoma | Stanleys Funeral & Cremation Service “The issue for her was always helping people be seen. It was a tremendous gift.” For her mother, part of valuing people as individuals included helping them find ways to participate, Morva added. “That’s why we’re asking people to bring homemade cookies to the reception. It was her idea. Baking was a favorite activity of Mom’s with her grandchildren. “Even at the end she was thinking about how everyone could share and participate.” McDonald’s survivors include her husband, Joe McDonald; four children, JoElyn Newcomb, Paul McDonald, Jason McDonald and Morva McDonald; eight grandchildren; a brother, Howard Nellor; and a sister, Sharlene Clatanoff.

Jack, had he awoken, would have been grateful to have spent his last moments in the same house where he once drank his morning coffee (which he took with two sugars and enough milk to nearly defeat the point), taught his baby daughters how to walk, and blasted the Grateful Dead on full volume (much to the dismay of his family). Jack was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, and grew up in the house in which he caused regular mischief throughout his teenage years – pranking his sisters, skateboarding in a handstand down the neighborhood’s steep hill, and, in one event, taking advantage of his parents’ absence to throw a party that resulted in dozens of cars lined down the street and only minor property damage (but which was cleaned so thoroughly and efficiently that his parents only realized after a neighbor, upset by the noise, informed them upon their return). At 40, he later married his wife Joyce in the same house – the two of them wed in his parents’ living room, clad not in tux and gown, but rather blue jeans and t-shirts, their families packed in around them. Jack worked as an attorney for 34 years, during which time he always positioned himself firmly on the side of the underdog, and fought to improve the circumstances of those who didn’t have much of a fighting chance. Jack’s readiness to help those in need also manifested itself in the form of spasmodic acts of generosity enacted on the behalf of random strangers: such as the time he engaged a Waffle House employee in conversation during the breakfast rush of a Christmas morning, and tipped her a one hundred dollar bill. Jack’s job as an attorney also presented itself in the familial sphere, where he would engage in lively debates with his daughters over anything and everything (and, on occasion, lost). Jack’s family will remember him as a man who laughed a bit too loud and spoke a bit too much. More than that, though, they will remember him as a man who tried very hard, and who loved very much. In lieu of flowers, please consider playing to yourself “Ripple” by the Grateful Dead, and sing along if you know the words. It was his favorite song. All friends and family are welcome to a celebration of Jack’s life at Murray Park, Pavilion 1 on June 15, 2024 at 11:00 A.M. We will laugh, cry, hear from some folks whom Jack admired greatly, and of course have live music. Bring your folding chairs and sit awhile. We’ll all be there to send him off with joy and love. Arrangements are under the direction of RuebelFuneralHome.com Condolences(18) Heather Jun 13th, 2024 8:17 pm # 18 My family and I were one of those “underdogs” Jack represented, fighting for us and winning against one of the most corrupt attorneys in Little Rock. I’m forever indebted for the kindness he showed toward me and my case. This news 2/21/2025, 3:11 PM �Jack Wagoner III 3 of 6 https://ruebelfuneralhome.com/obits/preview.php?id=3388 just shook me. We need more Jack Wagoners in the world. Rest in peace, awesome soul. Josh Coleman Jun 13th, 2024 4:58 pm # 17 We miss you Jack. “Would you hear my voice come through the music? Would you hold it near as it were your own?”. It’s been a tough few months without you here. I’ve thought about you many times along my adventures. I miss checking my phone to see enthusiastic texts or voicemails from you to keep me informed about something new and exciting going on. I kept feeling like I’d run into you at the sphere Vegas shows. I won’t be able to make it to the memorial, but you’ll live on in my memory forever. RIP Jack. Much love to you and your family. Bobby Hamilton May 29th, 2024 9:06 am # 16 I knew Jack for about 47years. We grew up not far from each other though never spent a lot of time together. He was someone I wanted to be around more as we shared an enthusiasm I can only describe as a zest for life and the need for inclusiveness. I would run into Jack from time to time as my family negotiated the foster care system. He was always doing what I thought a real lawyer would want to do, representing the less powerful. Thank you Jack, for fighting the good fight with a gleam in your eyes and a belief that it was working. I believe it too. Susan Jones Boe May 27th, 2024 9:39 am # 15 My brothers and I grew up with the Wagoner family and witnessed first hand the wonderful mischief of Jack! We are all so sorry for your loss. May his memory and the admiration of those who knew him bring you comfort in the years to come. Sandy Lewis Roberts May 20th, 2024 10:47 pm # 14 I’m so sorry to hear that Jack is gone. He was smart, witty, and absolutely one if a kind. He also had a huge and generous heart that he could not always hide. He was loved very much and will be missed by so many people, including me. My heart goes out to Joyce and his girls who I know, without a doubt, he loved so much. My prayers are with you and your daughters, Joyce. Please know I’m there for you on any day at anytime. Love you so much, Sandy Jean Blume May 16th, 2024 1:03 pm # 13 Jack my heart is broken, I love you!

Candice Murphy May 13th, 2024 8:36 pm # 10 I knew several of Jack’s family members from many great years at Trinity United Methodist Church. But I met Jack through our mutual friend Sean Harrison, who invited Jack over to see him perform at our first Home Concert in Leawood a year ago. It was such a special night and Jack let me know multiple times afterwards how much he enjoyed it. Sean’s performance was awesome, the weather was perfect, and I loved seeing those good friends spending time together. I’m so sorry he left too soon. Too many of the good ones do.Love to the family, Sean, and others who will miss him. — Candy Murphy Jill B May 13th, 2024 6:53 pm #9 May 13th, 2024 6:13 pm #8 Jack helped me and drove me crazy all at the same time. RIP Terry Barket My late husband, Gary, so enjoyed “Jack time”, both professionally and leisurely. Recently, I became reacquainted with Jack and he helped me with a legal problem…with a good result. I shall miss him deeply and remember him fondly. I hold Joyce and the twins close in my heart and prayers.

He graduated from Capitol Hill High School where he was third in his class of over 900 and played Tuba in the band. It was during high school he met the love of his life Virginia, and they were married in January of 1965. Mike was an electrical contractor by trade and part of the IBEW Union 1141. He also had his own real estate company and was always looking for the next business venture. He was a master gardener, planting anything and everything, and sold hundreds of jars of his PawPaws Sneaky Pete Salsa. He loved to work in his shop, enjoyed woodworking, and making toys and puzzles. He was also a talented oil painter, and painted horses especially well. He was a Southern Baptist Deacon, and taught Sunday School for over 45 years. He loved talking about the Lord, and he and Virginia went on multiple mission trips with their church in their early years. He loved his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids with all his heart, and cherished anytime he had to spend with them. He was also a big prankster, and loved to make people laugh, oh and HE LOVED sweet tea, and always had it with him. He is survived by his forever love, wife of 59 years, Virginia Lee Green, his daughter Laura Manahan, and husband Chris of Edmond, Oklahoma; daughter Kristi Dunkle of Guthrie, Oklahoma; grandchildren, Tyler Manahan and his wife Kathy of Edmond, Oklahoma; Shelby Dunkle and her fiancé Michael Brooks Jr. of Oklahoma City, OK; Megan Millsap and husband Matthew of Yukon, Oklahoma; great grandchildren Zoey, Mia, Maverick and Myles, and sister Linda Green of Columbia, Missouri, and other nephews and nieces. He is preceded in death by his father Lewis, mother Juliene, and brothers Lewis and David. If he could leave you with any last thoughts they would be, make sure first and foremost, you have a relationship with Christ, enjoy your family and friends, eat dessert first, and bring him some sweet tea when he meets you at the gates. A service to remember and celebrate Michael's life will be held Friday, February 23, 2024, at 11:00AM at Crawford Family Funeral Service in Edmond. Visitation with the family will be held the evening prior from 5:00PM-7:00PM, Thursday, February 22, 2024. Burial will take place at Knowles Cemetery of rural Crescent, OK.

Mike had a mischievous side and he was always playing jokes on his friends. He was a most unusual person, friendly, a little reserved, with not a lot to say. He and Virginia met at high school and one day Mike told me they were getting married. I was honored that he asked me to be his Best Man. Even though those first few months were challenging, going to school, working evenings and week-ends, Mike would often invite me to his and Virginia's small apartment for lunch, to share a bologna sandwich. Mike was like that, reaching out to friends and family, to meet their needs. He made the most of whatever he had,"a life well lived." I'll miss you, Mike.
