After Eyline died in 1974, Wayne marrired again. His new wife was named Marita. Eyline's grandson Terry Price, LaRhonda's son, mentions Marita.
"My grandmother Eileen [Eyline] passed away when I was only a year or two old I believe, so didn’t even get to know her very well. Wayne remarried a lovely woman named Marita. So Wayne and Marita were the only grandparents that I knew, and I never really got to know anyone else."
-- Terry Price, son of LaRhonda Jenkins Wornom, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 14 May 2012
I find it interesting that none of these Chickasha entries mention the youngest child LaRhonda Jenkins Wornom, Eyline's youngest child from her first marriage to Bud Jenkins.

Wayne's memorial on Find a Grave inlcudes his long obituary from the Daily Oklahoma newspaper, which we have transcribed above, plus an earlier death announcement. I found there was no memorial for his second wife Eyline Lynch Jenkins Wornom, who is my aunt by marriage to her first husband Arthur Carthal "Bud" Jenkins. I created a memorial and liinked her to his memorial.
