Earlene Bobo Haynes passed from this life on Friday, September, 23, 2022 at 3:18 am with her daughters by her side. She was born on July 8th, 1941 to Alf & Lillian Bobo. Earlene attended and graduated school in Springtown. In April of 1961 she became the wife & working partner to Ted Haynes of Paradise. They lived all their married years on the land Earlene was raised on. After 60 years marriage Ted passed & Earlene moved to Benbrook until the time of her death.

Earlene prided herself in being a helpmate to Ted in all the businesses they owned and operated, whether it was the restaurants, home construction, radio station, or the gas production company… She was by his side doing her share of the work.

Earlene was a people person. She loved being around people and talking to people. She loved her family most of all. The love of music was in her soul… from gospel, old country, blue grass, to anything with a good toe tapping beat.

She prided herself in baking a good pie. In her opinion, she was finally able to make her coconut cream pie to taste just like her mothers. So that started her baking of pies in the restaurants and also for the public after they sold the restaurants.
Earlene was proceeded in death by her husband of 60 years, Ted Haynes; parents, Alf & Lillian Bobo; brother, Adron Bobo; and sisters; Betty Thornton and Brucille Mauldin.
