August 6, 1940 - November 19, 2019
Carolyn Sue Kinnison of Granite passed from this life on November 19, 2019 at age 79. She was born on August 6, 1940 in Granite, Oklahoma, the only child of Vestal Allen Rusk and Ann (Windle) Rusk. Carolyn grew up and attended school in Granite graduating in 1958. Carolyn’s mother died at an early age and was lovingly raised by her father and grandparents as the baby of the family. She met “Billy Tom” as his family and friends called him while he was stationed at Altus, and they were married in 1959. To this union were born two sons: Gregory Allen born at Anderson AFB Guam and Mark Douglas born at Offutt AFB Nebraska. After Billy Tom’s retirement the family moved back to Granite where they began farming the family farm and raising cattle. Carolyn maintained her own career in civil service as an executive secretary at the Altus AFB retiring after 35 years of service. She was a longtime member of the Granite Church of Christ, she liked to sing and play the piano, read, but she was the two boys biggest fans and never missed a ballgame or any sports activity they may have had which carried over to the grandchildren as well, she would be there cheering them on. Carolyn is survived by her two sons: Greg Kinnison and wife Lee of Altus and Mark Kinnison and wife Brenda of Edmond. She leaves a legacy of four grandchildren: Chaz and Madison Briscoe, William Rusk, Jorie Kinnison and a host of other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, grandparents and husband Bill Kinnison.
