Helen LaJune Spears, 91, died Friday morning at St. Mary’s Regional Medical
Center after almost two months of declining health resulting from a hip fracture.

She professed her faith in Jesus Christ at an early age, and had been a
resident of Golden Oaks Retirement Village for a number of years following her
retirement from First National Bank, where she had worked since 1958.

She was a widow of the Rev Paul Bert Spears, who died on June 27, 1990.

Mrs Spears, who was born on June 2, 1916 in Prospect, Montana, was the only
child of the late Nick and Della (Barker) Birk.  She was graduated from high
school in Conrad, MT, in 1934, and was married to Paul Spears, pastor of the
First Christian Church there, on February 6, 1944.

They later moved to Enid and then to Waukomis, where the Rev Spears was  
pastor of the Christian Church, and later to Snyder, where she was a teller at
First National Bank for approximately 14 years.  The family returned to Enid in
1958, and Mrs Spears finished out her long years in the banking industry at First
National Bank of Enid.

Mrs Spears is survived by a daughter and son-in-law, Evalee and Heinz F
Poellet of Oak Creek, WI; a stepson, Allen Spears and his wife, Colleen
Sheppard of Nashville, TN; and a stepdaughter, Valdean and her husband the
Rev H Wallis Dobson, of Greeneville, TN.  Survivors also include a grandson,
Maj. Derek Jon Poellet of the US Air Force Reserve Command, and his wife
Jennifer and their three daughters, Anna, Aleksia and Amelia of Sanford, NC
and a granddaughter, Capt Keira Ayn Poellet of the US Air Force stationed in the
Azores; step grandchildren and step great-grandchildren who survive are:  Jeff
Keller of Charlotte, NC, and his daughter Sarah Keller of Greeneville, TN; Mrs
Phillip (Laurie) Evans and her sons, Eric and Andrew Evans of Greeneville, TN;

and Courtney Wilson of Greeneville, TN; Mrs Gary (Pamela) Waddell and her
son, Cory Ryan Mathes of Greeneville, TN; Mrs Mike (Stacey) Wallis and her
daughter, Samantha of Warner; Becky Westbrook of Muskogee and her

daughters, Miranda and Cassidy of Clute, TX and Mrs Sharon (Stephani) Factor
and her son, Stephen of San Jose, CA; two nieces and one nephew; and
cousins in Minnesota.

The funeral will be conducted at 2:00 pm Thursday, October 4, 2007 at Golden
