Note: N307 Ellis LeRoy Gragg, born October 30, 1927 in Burkburnett TX to Robert Lenord and Elizabeth Lou Gragg, passed away peacefully at home in Edmond OK on August 26, 2017. He was married in 1945 to Joella Morgan Gragg until her death in 1996. Ellis was married to Beatrice Bookout from March 1998 until he was called home by Jesus. Ellis lived a full life and at different stages was a farmer, rancher, rodeo performer, Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse breeder, trainer, showman, and entrepreneur. He served in several horse associations including the American Quarter Horse Association, the Oklahoma Quarter Horse Racing Association, and the Oklahoma Quarter Horse Association, leading that organization as president for several years. He also served his community as an Edmond School Board member. He was inducted into the OQHA Hall of Fame in 2011 and was honored in 2013 as a “Legend of American Quarter Horse Racing.” But far more important to Ellis than his business successes and awards was his family. There has never been a better husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. He was a fun GGPap (great grandpappy) who always shared his time and treasures with all. Daily he praised our Lord for each of his blessings – his family members and friends, mentioning each by name. Ellis was preceded in death by his parents, Lenord and Elizabeth Gragg, his older sisters Opal Sykes and Wanda Cain, and his first wife Joella. Celebration of life held at Henderson Hills Baptist Church, Edmond OK with burial at Memorial Park Cemetery, Oklahoma City, OK.
