Graveside services for Adella (Fields) Bixler, 95 year-old Hydro, OK resident, were held on Saturday, December 8, 2007 at Hydro Masonic Cemetery with Rev. Paul McDowell officiating. Burial followed under the direction of Lockstone Funeral Home of Weatherford.
Adella was born on June 26, 1912 in Hinton, OK to George Osmond and Barbara Ann (Vance) Fields and passed away on Tuesday, December 4, 2007 at Maple Lawn Manor in Hydro, OK. Adella was raised and attended school in Hinton. Her education began at Alpine school, west of Hinton, graduating from Hinton High School in 1930.

She retired after teaching school in Putman City. Adella helped Claude with his bees and honey and exhibits at the fairs. She taught Sunday School, sang in the choir, quartets and trios, and was WSCS president at the Hydro Methodist Church.
