Nina E. Eason-Hagood

Nina E. Eason-Hagood, age 88, passed away Tuesday, April 22, 2025 in the Covenant Care Home in Salina, Oklahoma. She was born near Temple, Oklahoma on September 26, 1936, the fourth and youngest daughter of Gordon and Lillian (Cooper) Lewis. She graduated from Fox High School. She moved to Oklahoma City for a short time and on April 6, 1956, she was united in marriage to Calvin Eason in Countyline, Oklahoma. Calvin was a young pastor so they moved around several places while welcoming five boys to the family. They lived in Dallas, Texas, Goldsby, Amber, Gotebo, and Fairview in Oklahoma before moving to Warsaw, Missouri in 1978 and then to Muskogee in 1986. She started working while living in Fairview, first as an aid at the school and then as a middle school secretary. She also worked for Jack Harris Accounting in Missouri and wound up her career as the executive secretary at Oklahoma Rig in Muskogee. Nina sat in the stands for many ballgames cheering on her sons as they played baseball, football and basketball. She was a talented seamstress and made many of her own clothes and suits, pants and shirts for her husband and sons and later in life began quilting and making blankets. She liked to cook, grow flowers and was always ready to go fishing, camping or a game of Skipbo or other card games. Calvin passed away in 1994 and on May 3, 1997, she was united in marriage to Royce Hagood. After retiring, she and Royce enjoyed traveling, spending winters in Texas, and were the campground hosts at Fort Gibson Lake for a few summers. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Royce Hagood; brother, Kenneth Hudson; three sisters, Yvonne Coleman, Patsy Stell, and Jean Eason; and son, Calvin Eason, Jr. She is survived by four sons, Darrel Eason, and wife Lenell, of Lincoln, Missouri, Paul Eason, and wife Tina, of Warsaw, Missouri, Mark Eason, and wife Kim, of Terlton, Oklahoma, and Steve Eason, and wife Debi, of Claremore, Oklahoma; 12 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren; Royce's children, Chris Hagood, and wife Melissa, and Jackie Myers, and husband, Chuck; many step grandchildren and great-grandchildren; brother-in-law, Robert Eason; sister-in-law, Margie Madole; along with many nieces and nephews, other relatives and many friends.
