Obituary...........................
Jan Butler McNatt, cherished mother, grandmother and dear friend, 76, of
Miami Lakes, FL, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 12, 2017,
surrounded by her three children, Kimberly, Dawn and Arthur. Born September 23,
1941, Jan grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Santa Barbara, California,
before moving to Tulsa and attending Central High. Jan began college at
Stephen's in Missouri, before transferring to Tulsa University, where she was
Track Queen; a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority; and met the love of her
life, Art McNatt, whom everyone called "Butch." Butch, a pilot with National,
Pan Am and Delta Airlines, and Jan decided to move to Miami, Florida, in the 70s
where she contributed to junior women's groups and raised her three children.
Butch predeceased her in 1994.
Jan's greatest joy was being with her children and their families to whom
she dedicated her life. Her tireless energy led to the nickname of "Scooter";
her love of fashion and entertaining always included great taste and a terrific
sense of wit. Friends would see her through the years at her favorite place to
meet, Beverly Hills Café in Miami Lakes. More often than not, Jan was
accompanied there by her beloved dogs Sedona, her lab; Indigo, her French
bulldog; and finally, Beverly whom she rescued and enlisted her dear friend,
Dennis, to walk.
Jan is survived by her daughter, Kimberly McNatt; her daughter, Dawn
McNatt Fraine; her son, Arthur McNatt; and her two grandchildren, Hannah Hall
and Kayla Rose.
A graveside service will be at noon on Friday, December 15 at Memorial
Park Cemetery in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to
any charity serving veterans. Moore's Southlawn 918-0663-2233 share memories

In Memoriam - Arthur "Art" A. McNatt III with
photos
Arthur "Art" A. McNatt III lived in my Miami Lakes
neighborhood with his wife Jan and three children. He was from Oklahoma and
educated at Tulsa University. He served as a pilot in the U. S. Air Force from
1963 to 1967. He joined National Airlines after the Air Force and was a captain
with them until Pan Am bought National in 1980 and he became a Pan Am captain
and instructor pilot. When Delta bought the Pan Am Airbus A-310's he was an
A-310 captain and he moved over to Delta when they offered Pan Am's A-310 flight
crews jobs with Delta.
Art also served his community for 17 years by working shifts
as a reserve police deputy sheriff with full law enforcement powers for $1 a
year for the Metro-Dade County Police Department.
Art's daughter Kim was a friend of my family, his son Arthur
"Forth" A. McNatt IV mowed my yard and his younger daughter Dawn babysat for us.
All three of them turned out to be fine productive citizens.
Tragically Art died at the age of 52 while flying a Delta B767
on approach to an airport in Italy on July 23, 1994. He was a fine pilot, a
great family man, a good neighbor and all around good guy who many of us still
miss to this day. Please click on the last photo to read his obituary. RIP Art!
