Earl was called home to be with the Lord on Monday, December 24, 2007. He was 67.

He was born in Okmulgee, Oklahoma on January 29, 1940, the son of Everett and Anice McDoulett. He married Kathy Holt of Claremore on August 4, 1978 in Catoosa. He lived in the Verdigris area for the last 29 years.

Earl was the owner of Mingo Auto Salvage. In his younger years he was the king of the race track and held the record for many years for the most consecutive rolls during a crash at Tulsa Speedway. When it was time for him to “retire” from the race track he sponsored numerous race cars and helped out many rookie race car drivers. He always enjoyed watching his sons and daughter race cars or participate in any sport. Earl spent much of his time fishing with family and friends; in the winter months he spent time outdoors hunting anything that moved, from birds to deer. He will be greatly missed.

Earl is preceded in death by his parents, Everett McDoulett and Anice Holt and daughters Vicki Lynn McDoulett and Diane McDoulett Bullard.

Family members surviving are his wife of 29 years, Kathy McDoulett of Verdigris; children, Rodney McDoulett of Tulsa, OK, Earl McDoulett, Jr. and wife April of Verdigris, OK and Alicia Nees and husband Tony of Verdigris, OK; siblings, Florita Green and husband Jack of Keystone, OK, Margie Collins and husband Bud of Wichita, KS and Bob McDoulett and wife Brenda of Owasso, OK; grandchildren, Amber Solomon, Ashley Hill, Kyson Lockwood, Jamie Lockwood, Hunter McDoulett and Hannah McDoulett; great-grandson, Kyson Lockwood, Jr. and many nieces, nephews, family and friends.
