Robbie Dale Sherrell's Obituary
ROBBIE SHERRELL
ADA-Services for Robbie Dale Sherrell, 78, of Ada, are 1:00 p.m. Tuesday at the Criswell Funeral Home Chapel, Bud Ross will officiate. Burial will follow at East Hill Cemetery in Roff.
Mr. Sherrell died Saturday, May 10, 2014 in Ada. He was born October 22, 1935 in Fittstown, Oklahoma to Jim and Katie Rubrecht Sherrell. He graduated from Stonewall High School and continued his education and graduated from East Central University.
Robbie went to work for the Hartford Insurance Company and lived in Ada, Moore and Chicago, Il. When International Telephone and Telegraph purchased Hartford, Robbie was transferred to London, England where he lived and worked for 8 years.
Robbie left ITT/Hartford when recruited by Insurance Corporation of British Columbia where he served as the first American president for the company. He left ICBC in 1980 and moved back to Stratford where he lived on his cattle ranch. He then purchased and renovated the Brockway Glass Plant in Ada and formed the ICON Center, an industrial park, and first international trade zone in Ada. Robbie sold the ICON to the Chickasaw Nation and finally retired to his ranch south of Ada.
Survivors include three daughters, Angie Sherrell of Houston, TX, Liz Sherrell Gunn of San Ramon, CA, and Shayna Sherrell of Ada; a brother, Billy Sherrell and his wife Marie of Moore, OK; sisters-in-law, Juanita Sherrell and Faye Sherrell, both of Ada; several nieces, nephews including a special relationship with nephew, Wendell Sherrell and his wife Sharon, and many other family members.
He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Denzel (Pete) Sherrell and James Sherrell; sister, Juanita (Sis) Owen and her husband Raymond.
Bearers will be D. E. Sherrell, T. W. Estes, Wayne Allison, Little Robbie Sherrell, Jon Sherrell and Roger Owen. Honorary bearers will be Dick Myers and Bob Geismer.
The family says those who wish may make memorials to the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation for Alzheimer's Research, 825 N. E. 13th, Oklahoma City, OK 73104-5097.
