A. Davis and Cleona (Cardin) Davis. Marita went into the hands of her heavenly father on
Wednesday May 4 , 2023 at Saint Mary Regional Medical Centre in Enid, Oklahoma.
She grew up in Sweetwater, Oklahoma until her parents moved the family to Elk City,
Oklahoma in 1949. She attended Merritt High School. Marita's Christian faith was very
important to her, and she moved to Waxahachie, Texas to attend the Southwestern
Assemblies of God University. After her studies, Marita moved back to Elk City where she
worked at the Monahan's Restaurant and Paul Jones Drugstore before pursuing a career as
a hairdresser. Later, she moved to Ada for a short time to open her own beauty salon before
relocating to Oklahoma City where she worked as a receptionist in medical offices. Marita
married Wayne Huntley Wornom on August 7, 1970. They combined their two families and
resided in Warr Acres, where they were active in the Putnam City United Methodist Church.
Marita loved to cook for all of her children, grandchildren, and extended family. Every year
Marita and Wayne would host family reunions at Lake Texoma over the Memorial Day
weekend. In the late 1980's, Marita started her business Marita's Antiques. This passion
allowed her to travel across the United States to antique shows in Texas, Colorado, Illinois,
California, Florida, Maryland, and many more states. Marita liked to stay up to date with the
latest fashion trends, she often stood out in a crowded room with her unique eyeglasses
and hats. She also enjoyed taking cruises, traveling to other countries, and spending time
