Anneta Louise Doerflinger

Anneta Louise Doerflinger was a devoted mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and family woman who found joy in the simple things that made life special. She graduated from Sapulpa High School in 1970 and enjoyed creative hobbies such as calligraphy and scrapbooking. Anneta had a wonderful sense of humor and loved making others laugh. Above all, she cherished her family and especially treasured the time she spent with her grandchildren. Christmas was one of her favorite times of the year, as she truly enjoyed the holiday and the memories made with those she loved. Anneta was a wonderful mother and grandmother whose love, laughter, and warm spirit will be remembered by all who knew her.

Anneta and her husband, Elver "Lee" Doerflinger, shared a love story that began through an unexpected connection. While working at a hospital in Sapulpa, Anneta met a coworker who mentioned that her nephew, who was a marine stationed in North Carolina, was looking for a pen pal. That nephew was Lee. What began as letters soon grew into constant correspondence and phone conversations whenever they could find the time. After approximately eight months of getting to know one another, Lee finally wrote to Anneta and asked her to come to North Carolina. Anneta and her daughter, Sheila, made the trip, and just one week later, Anneta and Lee were married in a small, intimate ceremony. Their love story became one they cherished, and they loved each other ever since.

Anneta was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Nolah Roach; her beloved husband, Elver "Lee" Doerflinger; and her step-granddaughter, Amanda.

She is survived by her daughters, Sheila Wilson, Laura Guinn, and Jessica Doerflinger; her stepchildren, Mike and Terry; her seven grandchildren, Andrea, Ciara, Ransom, Jusstynn, Hannah, Jessie, and Amanda; her brother, Ed Roach; along with numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends who will forever hold her memory close.

Anneta's love for her family, her ability to bring laughter to those around her, and the memories she created throughout her life will remain in the hearts of those who loved her. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
