McClaskey Virginia Elizabeth McClaskey, age 77, of Maud, Oklahoma, passed away on May 26, 2026.

Virginia was born on July 11, 1948, in Fort Worth, Texas, to Lonnie and Cora Grooms. She grew up in Maud and graduated from Maud High School in 1966. It was there that she met the love of her life, Gary R. McClaskey. The two were united in marriage in November of 1967 and built a life centered on love, dedication, and family. From this union, they were blessed with three children.

Virginia was a woman of simple joys and unwavering devotion. She could rarely be found without a cup of coffee in hand and treasured the time she spent with her loved ones. Her greatest happiness came from her family— especially her grandchildren, who held a special place in her heart.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Gary McClaskey; her parents, Lonnie and Cora Grooms; and her siblings, Joe Grooms, George Grooms, Jack Grooms, Beatrice Smiley, Betty Kelley, Joyce Bran, Fran McCarty, and Jean Rowley.

Virginia leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories. Those left to honor her memory include her children and their spouses: Shelly and Dennis Mahler, Audra and Chris Bowles, and Gary and Christy McClaskey. She is also survived by her sisters and brothers-inlaw, Bobbie and Bob Woods, and Glenda and Lloyd Bowers; her grandchildren, Shelby, Garrett, James, Savanna, Sydney, and Pauline; and her great-grandchild, Ellie.

Virginia will be remembered for her warm heart, her love of family, and the comfort she brought to those around her. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Graveside service will be held at 10:00 a.m. Friday May 29, 2026, at Cummings Cemetery in Maud, Oklahoma, with Pastor Bobby Shatto officiating under the direction of Cooper Funeral Home, Tecumseh, Oklahoma.
