March 20, 1919 - July 14, 2017
Dessie Roberta Meier passed from this life on July 14, 2017 at her home at age 98. Dessie was born on March 20, 1919 in Bessie, Oklahoma to Buel Allen and Edna (Watson) Allen. One of twelve children she grew up and resided all of her life in Bessie. She was a wife and partner to Gilbert in the farming operation, Sunday school teacher both at Bessie and Burns Flat, taught upholstery at the Vo-Tech in Burns Flat and her upholstery shop was proudly located in the chicken house. Dessie was very active in the Home Demonstration Club; she received her 50 year pin. Dessie’s club was “The Better Neighbors” and yes she was a great neighbor to have. She loved to garden, entertain and cook. Dessie was the most remarkable cook. When her hands touched dough something magical happened, (she made the best cinnamon rolls ever), but the most important thing to Dessie was her relationship with God. She taught Sunday School classes from the age of 16 to 95! Dessie is survived by her two sons Montell Meier and wife Patti of Paris, Texas and Bobby Meier of Bessie, daughters Louisa Ann Loper of Chandler , Oklahoma and Patricia Rowe and husband Larry of Choctaw, Oklahoma.

Dessie was preceded in death by her husband Gilbert, her parents, son-in-law Ray Loper and all of her brothers and sisters. Graveside Services for Dessie are scheduled for Tuesday, July 18, 2017, 11:00 A.M., at Union Hatchett Cemetery.
