Oscar Paul Power passed away on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, with his wife by his side. Oscar was born in Hereford, TX, on April 6, 1932, to Harvey Marion Power and Carolyn Sherman Power. He grew up in Whiteface, TX, and spent his summers working on his grandfather’s farm in Hereford. After graduating from Whiteface High School in 1950, he attended Texas Tech University and was a Kappa Sigma fraternity member and a proud Red Raider. Oscar joined the Army and was stationed in Ft Sill, OK, then traveled back to Lubbock, where he met his wife of 70 years, Sue Power. They were married on September 8, 1954, and had five children.

Oscar was always a salesman but found his true calling in 1959, joining Mustang Mobile Homes. After several years, he bought the business and grew his “Mustang Family” that he dearly loved and appreciated. He held several positions with the Texas Mobile Home Association and the National Mobile Home Institute. In June 2002, he sold Mustang but was actively involved for several more years. This only enlarged his “Mustang Family” with more lifelong friends.

Oscar and Sue are actively involved in First Christian Church and members of the Upper Room Sunday school class.

Survivors include his wife Sue, daughters Debbie Barnes (Steve) of Lubbock, TX and Connie Scarlino of Beaver Falls, PA, daughter in law Kari Power of Brandon, FL, sister in law, Lou Ann Warren of Highland Village, TX, sister in law, Jennifer Power of Lantana, TX, grandchildren include Ryan Childress (Brandee) of Allen, TX, Erin Dutton of Lubbock, TX, Alisa Gault (Dustin) of Lubbock, TX, Douglas Mangold of Austin, TX, Paula Sue Dunbar of Beaver Falls, PA, Britney Ware (Christopher) of San Antonio, TX, Brandon Drew Power (Moxie) of FL, Meaghan Conlee (Brandon) of FL, Nick Robertson (Katie) of FL, 15 great-grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren along with nieces, nephews, and cousins. He is preceded in death by his parents, brother Harvey Pat Power, and children Paula Lynn Power, Patricia (Patty) Ruth Power Mangold, and Markham (Mark) Rea Power.

A memorial service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, June 16, 2025, at First Christian Church, 2323 Broadway St, Lubbock, TX, 79401. Visitation will follow at the church. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in his name be made to First Christian Church.

Sue, I am so blessed to call you and Oscar my friends. I will cherish forever the visits I made to your home with Wayne. We learned so much about your lives together and your 70 years of marriage. Your respect for each other, character, love of God and all His creations are forever an example for me. We shared fellowship, laughter, communion and prayer. I will truly miss Oscar and look forward to seeing you when I am in Lubbock. Love, Donna Spore

I’m so sorry for your loss. My heartfelt sympathies are with you.

Sending our love, hugs, and support to Sue, Connie, Debbie, and Kari, and all of Oscar's family, friends, and loved ones. Wish we could be there with you all to honor and celebrate the life of this incredible man. Peace be with you. Love, Meaghan and Family

Sue and Family, Oscar was so special! Growing up with your 5 kids, the 3 Rivere's and James we had a block full of love for sure! We always felt welcome in your home. Our thoughts, prayers, and love are with you. God bless and comfort you. Love, James &Lynn

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Sue, we were very sorry to hear of your loss. I enjoyed visiting with Oscar in recent years and wish I could hear some more of his stories. I know I missed out on a lot by not getting to know you and Oscar when I lived across the street.

I knew Oscar for many years. He was a friend and great guy. My thoughts are with Sue and all the rest of Oscars family

My deepest sympathy to Sue and the entire family of Oscar Power. What a fine man. What a fine life. I loved him from the moment I met him.

We’ve known Oscar for 40 years. We went to Westmont Christian and First Christian with Oscar and Sue. He was also the shepherding elder to my parents, Jesse and Frances Evans and sat with my dad for many hours as he was on hospice care. When my dad died, my mother gave Oscar the Disciples of Christ tie that I had given to Dad a few years earlier. Every time Oscar saw me at church he would grin and wave that tie at me. It warmed my heart every time. I’ve always loved Oscar for many more reasons. I consider him a saint! God bless Sue for being such a great caregiver. I love her too!

Our hearts go out to you during this time of loss.

Sue, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Debbie

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
