News & Events

We've lost a dear member of our McClain Bank Family. Perry Nemecek, longtime Bank employee and director, passed away on Friday, March 1. Services are scheduled for 10:00 am, Thursday, March 7 at Wilson Little Funeral Home.

When Perry began at the Bank, there were only about 12 employees and his first duties included filing checks and posting loans in bookkeeping. As the bank grew, Perry held a number of positions, serving as a Loan Officer, as a Director on the Bank Board, and retired as Executive Vice President, Head of Lending in 2010. After retirement, he continued to serve on the Audit Committee and the Bank Board of Directors.

Perry always led by example… early to arrive, the last to leave, willing to help co-workers and customers, and was very calm, well mannered, respected and trusted by his co-workers and customers. We will miss you greatly Perry and our thoughts and prayers are with the Nemecek Family.

Following is the obituary, courtesy of Wilson Little:

Perry Lee Nemecek, age 79 of Purcell, passed away on March 1, 2024, surrounded by his family. Born December 4, 1944, in Oklahoma City, he was the only son of Mary Francis (Nemecek) Timmons. Perry started school in Oklahoma City, but after his mother’s sudden passing in 1952 from breast cancer, he was adopted by his aunt and uncle, Joe and Neva Nemecek of Wayne. Perry began school in Wayne at the age of seven and graduated with the Bulldogs’ Class of 1962. While in high school, he was a standout athlete in basketball and football, showed cattle in the FFA Program, and was also a member of the band. After graduation, he attended the University of Oklahoma for two years. Then on August 1, 1964, he married his true love, Glenda Cherry Rose at the United Methodist Church in Wayne. They were childhood friends and high school sweethearts and together they raised three children, sons, Kelly and Kerry, and daughter Kristi. After their wedding, Perry attended East Central University with Glenda, where he graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration in 1966. Later that same year he started working as a teller at McClain Bank in Purcell. He eventually worked his way up to become McClain Bank’s Executive Vice- President / Head of Lending. A long-time member of the Purcell Lions Club, Perry also served on many local boards during his time at McClain Bank. One of his great thrills came in 2003 when he was named the “Citizen of the Year” by the Purcell Chamber of Commerce. After 44 years of dedicated service, Perry retired from McClain Bank in March 2010. He continued to serve on the McClain Bank Board of Directors for the next 11 years which gave him a combined 55 years of service to Purcell and the surrounding communities. Away from work he enjoyed boating and skiing at Lake Texoma and taking many family trips to Vail, Colorado to play golf in the summers and go snow-skiing in the winter. But his heart was always at his farm down by Rosedale where many years were spent checking on the property and tending to his cattle and horses. At one time he was an active member of the Purcell Roundup Club. A gifted musician who played the piano and the trombone, Perry loved music of all kinds and listened to a wide variety of artists and bands from different genres. Perry was also a huge sports fan, who coached Pee-Wee Football for his sons’’ teams and he was a great supporter of both Wayne and Purcell Athletics. He served in the Purcell Booster Club and was always happy to sponsor those less fortunate kids in support of their dreams in the classroom or on the athletic field. Perry traveled countless miles following first his children and then later his grandchildren in their various activities and sporting events. Perry loved the Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, Boston Celtics, and he was a dedicated fan of the Texas Rangers. Over the years, Perry made numerous trips with his family to see these teams play in person. Perry was a man of great faith and a longtime member of the Trinity United Methodist Church in Purcell. He cherished Glenda, his children, his grandchildren, and he lived every day for them. Perry also had many dogs and cats throughout his life, as there was always one of his pets by his side. He will be dearly missed!

He was preceded in death by his mother, Mary Francis (Nemecek) Timmons, and his parents, Joe and Neva Nemecek.

Perry is survived by his loving wife, Glenda of the home; sons, Kelly Nemecek and wife Shandy of Norman and Kerry Nemecek and wife Amy of Purcell; daughter, Kristi Lawson and husband Greg of Oklahoma City; his pride and joy, grandchildren, Ashton Grissom and husband Tate of Purcell, Ryder Nemecek, Rowan Nemecek, and Landry Lawson.

Funeral Services are scheduled for 10:00 A.M. Thursday, March 7, 2024, at Little’s Chapel. A burial will follow at the Hillside Cemetery. To honor Perry, please consider memorials to the Purcell Booster Club, the Wayne Booster Club or Trinity United Methodist Church.

McClain Bank has received reports that scammers are spoofing the bank’s main number, 405-527-6503, and presenting themselves as McClain Bank’s fraud department. Banks across the nation are facing the same scam call scenarios.  

If you receive one of these calls, do not disclose any card or personal information.  If you are asked for any personal information you should hang up immediately.

McClain Bank does not call customers and ask for information that is already on file with the bank, including your digital banking username & password.

Remember:
Never give out – or confirm – personal information such as account numbers, Social Security numbers, mother's maiden names, passwords or other identifying information in response to unexpected calls or if you are at all suspicious.
Use caution if you are being pressured to quickly divulge information – this is a sure sign of a scam.
Never share a one-time access code with a caller.
Only scammers will demand that you pay by gift card, cryptocurrency, money transfer (CashApp, PayPal, Zelle, etc.), or cash.

On Jan. 1, 1863, all enslaved African Americans were declared free by the Emancipation Proclamation. More than two and a half years later, many were still living without freedom in Texas, which was the last state of the Confederacy with institutional slavery.

On June 19, 1865, the Union Army arrived with General Order No. 3 informing all Texans of the Emancipation Proclamation and an estimated 250,000 remaining enslaved people were finally granted their freedom.

Celebrations of Juneteenth -- also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day or America’s Second Independence Day – are celebrations of resilience and have been taking place in America for more than 150 years. This past year, Juneteenth National Independence Day became an official Federal Holiday to commemorate this important moment in American History. Juneteenth is celebrated on June 19, a Sunday this year, so the holiday will be observed Monday, June 20.

McClain Bank is proud to celebrate and commemorate this very significant and momentous day. Therefore, all McClain Bank locations will be closed Monday, June 20.
