Exer Jordan

Exer Velma Jordan May 1, 1917-April 25, 2011 Exer was born May 1, 1917 in Byers, Oklahoma to Barney and Martha Reeves. They preceded her in death. She was one of 11 children, all deceased except one brother, Bill Reeves and wife, Jo E. of Lawton. One sister, Fay Millar, of Norman, Oklahoma. She and the love of her life, Jared were married in November 1936 in Lawton, Oklahoma. He preceded her in death in June of 2001. She is also survived by one daughter, Kay, and her husband, Dale of Roswell. One grandson, Michael Greengrass, grandchildren, Monnica Garcia and husband Matt, great grandchildren Nickolas and Sophie, of ABQ. Jessica Neuhausel and husband Damon of Alamogordo, NM. Chance Greengrass, fiancée Chelsea Grimm, great grandson Wyatt of Dexter, NM. Bryce Greengrass and wife Ashley, great granddaughter Kaylee of Wichita Falls, TX. One brother in law Tom Jordan. Exer and Tom had been buddies for over 80 years—from school days in Faxon, OK to present time. Also numerous nieces and nephews. Exer was a home maker and enjoyed helping her husband, Jared, farm for many years. She and Jared were avid bowlers, bowling in leagues and tournaments at Town & Country Lanes. Their best gifts ever from the family were prepaid tickets to bowl. Exer and her husband lived in many places before settling in Roswell—Jared was a semi pro baseball player and they moved to follow the baseball seasons. Exer was a very “Foxey” lady that enjoyed many years of life and was a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend. She had two great friends in her life, “P”, Perry Trent, and “Maddie” Mary Miller both of Roswell. Anderson Bethany will honor her last wishes to be cremated and private services will be held at a later date. She will be greatly missed by her Daughter Kay, with whom she lived for the past 7 years. And so has ended life’s journey for Exer Jordan. “Living Life” Life is not a race—but indeed a journey Be honest, work hard, be choosy, Say “Thank You” “I Love You” and “Great Job” each day. Laugh often, appreciate the little things in life and enjoy them. Go to church, take time for prayer. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh. Dreaming does matter. It allows you to become that which you aspire to be. Laugh often, appreciate the little things in life and enjoy them. Some of the best things really are free. Do not worry—less wrinkles are more becoming. Forgive, it frees the soul. Take time for yourself—plan for longevity. Recognize the special people you’ve been blessed to know. Live for today and enjoy the moment. (Bonnie Mohr)
