Bio

Margie Louise Soudek, 94, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, died on Friday, May 27, 2022. She was born April 21, 1928, in Kingfisher, Oklahoma to Edwin John and Mary Martha (Hobza) Buettner. She graduated from Kingfisher High School in 1946. She met Joseph Edward Soudek at a dance, and they were married April 18, 1950. Margie and Joe were married for 49 years and had three children. Her love of family and celebrations provided many wonderful memories of food and fun at Joe and Margie's house in Kingfisher. Margie was a homemaker, farmer's wife and loving mother to her children first, but when she and Joe moved to town, she started working at the cafeteria at St. Peter and Paul School, where her children attended school. Eventually, Margie became a secretary at Washington Elementary School. She also worked as Deputy County Superintendent for Kingfisher County for many years, and when that office closed, she worked in the Kingfisher County Clerk's office until her retirement. Margie was a member of St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church and the St. Peter and Paul Altar Society. Margie joined the community of St. Ann Retirement Center in 2013, and her 'family' grew to include the loving staff members that cared for and loved her. She was especially proud of showing off her lifetime collection of salt and pepper shakers to visitors who came to tour St. Ann. Margie was survived by her daughter, Jodie McKleroy and husband John; her son, J.E. Soudek and wife Linda, all of Oklahoma City; a son-in-law, Jim Kraus of Davis. Oklahoma; two brothers, Richard Buettner of Oklahoma City, and Charles Buettner and wife Nancy of Grand Junction, Colorado; a sister, Delores Graham of Oklahoma City; a sister-in-law, Karen Buettner of Yukon, Oklahoma; and a brother-in-law. Frank Soudek of Pueblo, Colorado. Margie adored her thirteen grandchildren, Brenda Kraus Williams (Stephen) and Karla Kraus Scott (Jason) of Davis, Kevin Moore of Oklahoma City, Meredith Moore of Baltimore, Maryland, Jessica Soudek Roberts (Justin) of Edmond, Oklahoma, Joe Soudek, Shane Soudek and Katie Soudek of Enid, Oklahoma, Jimmy Kraus of Kingfisher and Kristy Kraus Scroggins (William) of Kingfisher, Heather McKleroy Osmulski of Peoria, Illinois, Michael McKleroy (Amy) of Dallas, and Joe McKleroy of Nashville, Tennessee; as well as many great-grandchildren. Margie never tired of talking about her kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids, and family dinners were her very favorite thing to plan. Margie was blessed to receive love and care from the many staff members at St Ann Retirement Center and at St Ann Skilled Nursing and Therapy, and her family would like to thank them for everything they did for her. Margie was preceded in death by her parents, Ed and Mary Buettner; husband Joe; daughter, Julia Kraus; three sisters, Marie McMillan, Alice Grellner, and Katherine Tener; and a brother, Kenneth Buettner. A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, 2 June, St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Kingfisher.
