Grover Travis

Nix

Grover Travis Nix, 82, of Bridge Creek, passed away in his home on August 25, 2026. The son of Hallie Grover Nix and Dixie Mae (Rhodes) Nix, Grover was born in Mannsville, Oklahoma on March 24, 1944.

Grover grew up in South Oklahoma City and attended Southeast High School. Grover worked at Dayton Tire for 37 years where he was a warehouse supervisor for many years before becoming an x-ray technician at the plant. Sherry fondly remembers her dad always answering the phone “x-ray this is Grover.” Dayton Tire was also where he met Betty. They were married on August 8, 1988 (8/8/88.) They both retired from Dayton when the plant in Oklahoma City closed after 37 years for Grover and 25 years for Betty.

When Grover was younger, he loved to fish. He also liked to bowl. Grover was a part of the Tri-City Cruisers Car Club for many years. He proudly drove one of his two cars, a ’78 El Camino or his 1962 Pontiac Catalina 2 door hard top in car shows, city parades and Bridge Creek homecoming parades. Most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family who will greatly miss Grover’s presence in their lives.

Grover is preceded in death by his parents; and two sisters, Nekita “Lou” Woodall and Helen Louise Jackson.

He is survived by his wife of 38 years, Betty L. (Hance) Nix; two daughters, Sherry Swidler and husband Scott of Bridge Creek and Cindy Reiswig and husband Will of Newcastle; two sons, Gary Nix of Tuttle and Wylie Dee Hall and wife Julia of Copperas Cove, Texas; six grandchildren, Ashley Lee and husband Patrick, Corey Swidler and Amanda, Kylie Swidler, Hailey Jo Holt and Zach, Bryson Travis Nix, and Hannah Hall; two great grandchildren, Berkley Jo Holt and Kayla Lee; “bonus” daughter, Heather Brown and husband Andy and their children, Henslee and Hudson; three sisters-in-law, Laura Rambo and husband Harold of Stuart, Linda Nunn and husband Henry of Noble, and Deloris Evington and husband Phillip of Moore; niece, Monica Jones of Norman; and numerous nieces, nephews, other family members and friends.
