Burial will be under the direction of Becker Funeral Home. She was born September 22, 1917 to Bluford and Lou Ella Barnett. She grew up in the Hulen and Letitia communities. She met T.R. Stephens at the Hulen Methodist Church and they were married December 23, 1934. Shortly thereafter they moved to Lawton and lived in an apartment building at 502 C Avenue (now the BancFirst parking lot). They walked across the street and immediately became members of the First Baptist Church where Lela's father and mother in law were charter members in 1901. They were happily married for 63 years until T.R.'s death in 1997. Lela would later marry Joe McDonald in 1999 and Joe died of a brain tumor two years later. Lela always put others before herself and relied on her faith in Christ to guide her life. For 43 years she was a second grade Sunday school leader and teacher at the First Baptist Church. She was also a member of the Ellen H. Richards Club for 70 years and a member of the Lawton Book and Play Review.
