Margaret Polone

Margaret Mae (Bowlin) Polone, 81, of Pryor, passed away on Sunday, March 24, 2019 in Pryor. She was born on June 18, 1937 in Eucha; the daughter of George and Addie Bowlin. Margaret grew up in Eucha and Jay, Oklahoma, where she enjoyed playing basketball and swimming and playing in Spavinaw Creek with her brothers and other family members. Her family moved to Pryor, where she attended Pryor High School and met her future husband, Ralph Polone. They were married in June 1955 and three daughters were born to this union. Ralph and Margaret made their home in Pryor and lived there until moving to their land northwest of Pryor in 1970. They moved back to Town in 1982, where their youngest daughter finished High School and then moved back to their rural home where they have resided for the last 34 years. Margaret enjoyed bird watching, her daily soap operas, and going to the senior citizens center to play dominoes. Her greatest enjoyment was spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She never missed a ballgame, school event, recital, or play that involved her kids. Margaret was known for her chicken and dumplings,  homemake pies and bread pudding, which  she made every year for her “boys” annual camp out. Margaret was a devoted wife, loving mother, and wonderful grandmother and will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
