Mordell Trammell Recognized for Lifetime of Service


Mordell Trammell, along with thousands of “the Greatest Generation,” began his lifetime of service with the U.S. Army in World War II, where he fought in the Battle of Okinawa and in the invasion of the Philippines.

After the war, he came back to Duncan and worked at the Old Sun Ray Refinery for 32 years. He has served on the ASCOG Area Agency on Aging Advisory Council for over 25 years and has represented Duncan and Stephens County in the Silver-haired legislature since 1988 and is a lifetime member of the Oklahoma Silver-haired Legislature Alumni Association. He has volunteered with Stephens County Emergency Management since 1984, and started the local emergency planning committee for Stephens County. He was an ombudsman volunteer for ASCOG for 8 years in Stephens County, ensuring the rights of residents in long-term care facilities.  Mordell served over 600 hours as a volunteer for the Department of Human Services in Stephens County and was named as the Outstanding Older Oklahoman of the Year by the Department of Human Services. He currently serves as chairman of the ‘poppy board” for the American Legion.

Mordell, thank you for your lifetime of service.
