Juliette Boevers Williford was born October 7, 1916, to Fred and Susie (Menz) Boevers at the home east of Union City OK. She attended St. Joseph Elementary and graduated from Union City High School in 1934. She attended Business College and did domestic work prior to marrying Fred Williford on December 31, 1939, in the priest's study at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Union City OK. After moving seven times in the first year of marriage they settled on the farm southwest of Mustang. They operated a dairy farm together until Fred's death on December 17, 1971. She continued in the operation with her son until her retirement in 1980. For many years she also had an extensive business raising chickens and selling eggs on a route she ran each Monday.

Juliette enjoyed cooking, canning, and quilting. Her angel food cakes and fried pies were always welcomed at family and funeral dinners. She delighted in being called Granny by her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Their lives and activities were a joyful highlight in her life. Juliette was past president of Holy Spirit Altar Society and Sunshine Home Demonstration Club. She enjoyed competing in canning and baking at the County Fair where she won many blue ribbons.

She was preceded in death by her husband Fred; sisters Agnes, Helen, and Lucy; and brothers Albert, Robert, and Theodore.

Juliette is survived by her sister Georgia Spitler; son Larry (Virginia) of Mustang; and daughter Shirley Ann of Yukon; grandchildren Brian (Linda) Williford of Mustang, Kim (Joe) Powell of Chickasha, and Valerie Williford of Mustang; and great-grandchildren Justin Williford, Brianna Williford, Macy Powell, and Colby Powell.
