H. Jean Glasscock, 93, passed away on March 26, 2024 in Ponca City, Oklahoma. Jean was born on June 22, 1930 in Monroe County, Mississippi to the late Trannie and Lila Thornton Ausborn. She was a graduate of Hatley high School where she played on the girls basketball team. Soon after graduation, she married Earnest Stanford.

During their marriage, they made several moves and ultimately ended up in Ponca City, Oklahoma, which was her home for the last 60 years where she was active in the community. She worked several years as a medical receptionist. It was in the early 90’s when Jean married Dr. Tom Glasscock of Ponca City. Together, she and Dr. Glasscock enjoyed traveling and spending time at the country club. Jean also loved being outdoors, gardening, and spending time with her garden club. Anytime Jean was ever seen out and about, she was perfectly put together and took great pride in her appearance and how she presented herself.
