Obituary for Daniel Webster Puckett
A Come-and-Go Reception for Daniel W. “D.W.” “Dee” Puckett , age 74, of Muleshoe is scheduled from 12:30 to 2:30 pm, Thursday, December 22, 2016 in the Conference Room of Bailey County Electric Co-op, 620 East American Blvd., Muleshoe, Texas. Dee passed away Sunday, December 18, 2016. He was born December 30, 1941 in Sundown, Texas to John and Myrtle (Stevenson) Puckett. He married Patricia “Pattie” (Hartman) Puckett on October 5, 1968 in Muleshoe, Texas, where he was a lifelong resident.
D.W. was also known as “Dee” to most of his friends. Coincidentally, that was most people he met, since he didn’t seem to have an enemy in the world. At about age 16, Dee went to work for Byron and John Gunter as a farm hand. He continued there until 1968 when he went to work for Stanley Wilson at Wilson Drilling, where he worked for the rest of his life. Dee is preceded in death by his parents and his brother, John H. Puckett of Muleshoe,Texas.
Dee is survived by his wife, Pattie; three children, Angie Madrid and her husband, Arthur of Amarillo, Texas, Daniel William “Dusty” Puckett and his wife, Cheryl of Odessa, Texas and Tracy Puckett and his wife, Patrice of Trinity, Texas; three grandchildren, Peter, Anna, and Ian; one brother, Eddie and his wife, Ira Lea Puckett of Sweetwater, Texas; four sisters, Mary Janice Brantley of Slaton, Texas, Wilma and her husband, Don Nicewarmer of Amarillo, Texas, Catherine “Chat” and her husband, Bob Mobley of Surprise, Arizona and Joyce and her husband, Ronald Scott of Muleshoe, Texas; and numerous nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials be sent St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis,Tennessee, 38103.
