My Mother


Margaret Ellen Ryland Little, age 72, was delivered to Heaven on June 21, 2010. Her earthly journey ended in Norman, Oklahoma, after a four-year battle with lung cancer while surrounded by loving family members and friends. 

Margaret was born September 22, 1937 in Crescent, Oklahoma, to Clelland and Sarah Ryland.  She is survived by her husband of 52 years and 4 months, James H. Little M.D., three daughters and their husbands, Vicki and Steve Newby, Kathi and John Springman, Janet and David Bradford; eleven grandchildren, Michael and Misty Miller, Melissa and Kyle Springman, Jameson, Jordan, Sarah, Elianah and Isaiah Bradford, Kandice Lybolt and her husband Michael, and Dylan James Little; three great grandchildren, Leilani and Jacinda Miller and Mira Miller O’Connor. She also leaves behind a brother- and sister-in-law, Lanny and Charlene Little, nieces Kristin Herring and Misty Williams, sister-in-law Kris Ryland and nephews John and Tommy Ryland. Margaret is preceded in death by her parents, brother Donald Ryland and son James H. Little Jr.

Margaret was happiest when working and playing alongside husband, Jim. Their 1990 husband and wife world skeet shooting championship title was a favorite memory. Margaret wrapped her family and extended family of friends in an envelope of love and caring and was truly grateful for each unique member. Her beauty, love and excellence serves as an inspiration to all. She will be sorely missed.

Services will be held on Thursday June 24 at 3:00PM at the Vondel L. Smith & Sons, South Colonial Chapel, at 6934 South Western Avenue, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
