Aug. 6, 1929 - Sept. 10, 2016 MIDWEST CITY Mary Pauline "Polly" Wilson Dobbs was born Aug. 6, 1929, and went home to Heaven on Sept. 10, 2016. She was born to John H. & Ida Bell (Williams) Wilson in the small farming community of Pinehill, OK (10 miles north of Bristow). It was in their small country church where she accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior at the age of 16. She attended Pinehill schools, and then graduated as Valedictorian from Olive High School, where she met the love of her life, Stanley G. Dobbs. In Aug. 1947, Polly and Stanley were married. They lived in Olive and Sapulpa until Stanley was hired at what is now Tinker AFB. In 1951, they moved to Midwest City, OK. They loved and raised their family in Midwest City and were longtime active members of St. Matthew United Methodist Church. Polly loved her church and her church family. She was a longtime member of the Saints Sunday School, Walt Nessel Bible Study classes, Esther-Friendship Circles, and United Methodist Women. She implemented and was Chairman of the Care Ministry for many years and was active in the Prayer Group and Prayer Chain. She was honored to have been awarded her church's very first "Prayer Warrior" Monk Award, and later, the "Lifetime Achievement" award. She loved getting together with extended family and going on yearly brother/sister trips. Polly was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Stanley G. Dobbs; infant son, Glenn Ray Dobbs; seven brothers and two sisters. She is survived by her devoted children, Karen Solodon, Jeanne Hanson (David), and Keith Dobbs (Carol); sisters, Hazel Holeman and Lola Murphy; and many beloved nieces, nephews, and other family members who will miss her dearly. A Funeral Service will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 14, 2016, at St. Matthew United Methodist Church with interment to follow at Arlington Memory Gardens.
