Doris Jean Hull was born August 19, 1927, in Pittsburg County, Oklahoma, and passed away March 2, 2018, in Oklahoma City. She was the ninth of nine children born to Evan Maxey Lee and Georgia Gulley Lee. Soon after graduating from Stuart High School, she married her sweetheart, L. D. Hull, on October 4, 1946.
In addition to being a mother and homemaker, Jean was a successful Avon lady for 15 years. In Harrah, where she and L. D. raised their children, she was a Boy Scout Den Mother and helped found the Helping Hearts organization In Harrah. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Harrah and Sunnylane Baptist Church in Del City.
Family and friends will remember Jean’s warm and open personality, her hospitality—she was a wonderful cook-- her ready wit and sense of humor, her compassion and interest in others.
Jean was preceded in death by her two sons, Lanney DeWayne Hull and Danney Mac Hull, and by her husband of 68 years. Surviving her are her daughter and son-in-law, Connie and Larry Diotte; her daughter-in-law, Lori Whitton and her husband, Don; and her grandchildren: Matt Hull; Travis Hull and his sons, Garrett and Lukas; Hannah Diotte Smith and Barry Smith and their son, Christian Foley; Lanney and Ali Diotte and their daughter, Lucy; and Tyler and Michelle Hull and their children, Gabe and Aubrey, all of the Oklahoma City metro area.
Jean’s family sends love and thanks to Marcie Simmons, Amber Holman, and the staff of Wellington Parke Assisted Living and Frontier Hospice for their tender loving care of Jean. In lieu of flowers the family suggests a fitting memorial would be the Activity Fund at Wellington Parke Assisted Living Community, 3107 Tinker Diagonal St., Oklahoma City, 73115. (405-677-2273)
