Carolyn Henning

Carolyn Jean (Moore) Henning, 91, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, peacefully met her Savior on September 22, 2025, at OSU Medical Center after a lengthy illness. She was just two weeks shy of her 92nd birthday.

Born in Tulsa on October 7, 1933, Carolyn was the daughter of Henry Garland Moore and Waunita Ann Moore (born Edith Waunita Spees) and the granddaughter of Dr. Stephan Decatur Spees, a physician and pastor, and Lucille Devore. As part of an early prominent Tulsa family, she also shared the unique distinction of having been delivered by her own grandfather, Dr. Spees.

On January 20, 1952, she married ex-husband Bobby Gene Henning, with whom she had two daughters, Barbara and Patricia (Pat).

She graduated from Central High School in Tulsa in 1951 and graduated from NSU in 1976 and followed with post-graduate hours at OU. While she spent most of her life in Tulsa, she also lived for short periods in Hawaii, New Mexico, Colorado, and Florida.

Carolyn will most be remembered for her life of service to others. This was evident in her many decades as a Social Worker for the State of Oklahoma, for which she received state and national accolades. Even after retirement, she continued to find meaningful ways to work, serving as a transporter for Hertz at the airport and an educator with the OSU Community Nutrition Education Program.

This lifelong commitment extended to her dedicated support of her Owen Park Community neighbors and her involvement with her Centenary Methodist Church family. Friends, family, strangers, and anyone in need knew they could always count on Carolyn. She embraced life with a joyful spirit, finding pleasure in dancing and music, family gatherings, as well as the outdoors through sailing and hiking in Colorado. Her love for travel was cemented by her cherished vacations in Hawaii.

Carolyn was preceded in death by her parents, Henry Moore and Waunita Moore, her brother Gary Moore, and her grandson John Tedder.

She is survived by her loving daughters: Barbara Tedder (husband Joe) and Patricia (Pat) Little (husband John).

She is also survived by her grandchildren: Rachel, Jessica (wife Katy), and Sarah (children of Barbara) and Brad, and Ryan and his wife Taylor (children of Pat). Stan Staggs, a former son-in-law, is the father to Brad and Ryan. Step-granddaughter Melissa Knight (husband Jimmy).

Her legacy continues through her eleven great-grandchildren: Hannah, Justice, Macijah, Caspian, Phoenix, Blade, Amelia, Greyson, Rain, Colin, and Harper.

Also surviving her are her niece Renee Forehand, sister-in-law Marci Henning, and brother-in-law Jack Henning (wife Kathy), as well as her beloved cat, Pumpkin.

Buck Herron

Buck J. Herron, an extraordinary artist whose talent left an indelible mark on all who knew him, passed away peacefully on September 15, 2025, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was born October 26, 1940, in Checotah, Oklahoma, to Clarance and Nellie Herron.

Buck lived a life as colorful and detailed as the breathtaking works of art he created. A true master of many mediums, he could bring beauty to life through pencil sketches, painting, sculpture, woodwork, and even classic car restoration. His remarkable gifts were not only admired but also displayed for the community, including his well-known sculpture on Riverside in Tulsa. Each creation bore his heart and soul, a reflection of his stunning vision and skill.

Before his career as an artist, Buck served his country with honor as a Marine helicopter pilot and medevac in Vietnam. His courage in service was matched only by his passion for life and his love for people.

Buck's humor was as sharp as his artistic eye-he was a joker with a quick wit, always ready with a story or a laugh. Beyond his immense talent, those who knew him will remember him as a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend who gave so much of himself to those around him.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Patricia Sue Orr-Herron; his children, Brad Herron, Kim Orr, Jeff Orr, and Melanie Botts; and his grandchildren, Devon, Rain, Lilly, Bryce, Grace, Ashton, and Jeffrey.

Buck leaves behind a legacy not only of art but of love, laughter, and the reminder to live life with creativity and joy.

Manuel Aguirre Lara

Manuel Aguirre Lara, un esposo, padre, abuelo, hermano y amigo devoto, partió en paz, rodeado del amor de su familia, el 24 de septiembre de 2025 en Tulsa, Oklahoma. Nació el 20 de noviembre de 1960 en Zacatecas, México, hijo de Eucario Aguirre Yáñez y Carmen Lara González.

Durante 42 años, Manuel compartió su vida con su esposa, Felipa. Juntos construyeron una familia fuerte y llena de amor, que era el centro de su mundo. Fue un orgulloso padre de Brenda (Hender), Cristina (Edgar), Cecilia, Carolina, José Manuel (Angelina) y Mariana. Su mayor alegría era ser "Papi Manolo" de sus 11 consentidos nietos: Andrea, Regina, Damián, Emma, Edgar, Raquel, Manuel, Gianna, Leonardo, Olivia y Oliver.

La vida de Manuel fue un verdadero testimonio de amor, fortaleza y generosidad. Aunque sus primeros años estuvieron llenos de retos, logró construir para su familia una vida basada en amor incondicional, apoyo y union. Siempre estaba dispuesto a tender la mano a quien lo necesitara, recibiendo a todos con los brazos abiertos y considerando a su familia extendida no solo como parientes, sino como verdaderos miembros de su familia.

Tenía un maravilloso sentido del humor, siempre con un chiste, una cálida sonrisa y un abrazo reconfortante. Su honestidad, optimismo y firmes valores dejaron una huella profunda en todos los que tuvieron el privilegio de conocerlo. Incluso durante su enfermedad, Manuel se mantuvo como un pilar de fortaleza y esperanza, inspirando a quienes lo rodeaban con su espíritu inquebrantable.

Entre sus alegrías más simples, Manuel disfrutaba especialmente compartir helado de vainilla con nueces con sus nietos. Estas pequeñas y dulces tradiciones se han convertido en recuerdos que su familia atesorará por siempre en sus corazones.

Para sus hijos, Manuel no fue solo un padre amoroso, sino también un ejemplo a seguir, un maestro y una inspiración. Para sus nietos, fue una fuente infinita de risas, abrazos y amor. Para sus amigos y hasta para aquellos que recién conocía, fue un hombre de bondad, integridad y profunda compasión.

Quienes conocieron a Manuel siempre lo recordarán como "un buen hombre": un alma única cuyo amor, generosidad y alegría hicieron del mundo un lugar mejor.

Su legado de entrega y bondad vivirá para siempre en cada abrazo, cada sonrisa y cada recuerdo compartido por quienes tuvieron la fortuna de conocerlo y amarlo.

Manuel Aguirre Lara, a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loving family, on September 24, 2025, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was born on November 20, 1960, in Zacatecas, Mexico, to Eucario Aguirre Yanez and Carmen Lara Gonzalez.

For 42 beautiful years, Manuel shared his life with his beloved wife, Felipa. Together they built a strong, loving family that was the very center of his world.

His greatest joy was being "Papi Manolo" to his 11 precious grandchildren: Andrea, Regina, Damian, Emma, Edgar, Raquel, Manuel, Gianna, Leonardo, Olivia, and Oliver.

Manuel's life was a testament to love, resilience, and generosity. Though his early years were filled with challenges, he built a life for his family rooted in unconditional love, encouragement, and strength. He was always ready to help anyone in need, welcoming everyone with open arms and treating his in-laws not just as relatives, but as true family.

He had a wonderful sense of humor, always ready with a joke, a warm smile, and a comforting hug. His honesty, positivity, and strong values left a lasting impact on everyone blessed to know him. Even as he faced illness, Manuel remained a source of strength and hope, lifting up those around him with his unwavering spirit.

Among his many simple joys, Manuel especially loved sharing vanilla ice cream with pecans with his grandchildren. These small, sweet traditions are now cherished memories that his family will hold close to their hearts.

Those who knew Manuel will remember him as "one of the good ones"-a rare soul whose love, generosity, and laughter made the world brighter. His legacy of devotion and kindness will live on through every hug, every smile, and every story shared by those who were fortunate to have known and loved him.

Winifred Path

Tuesday, October 19, 1937, Winifred Lee (Rogers) Path came into the world, but she never liked her given name, so she went by "Fredde." Perhaps the nickname was fitting because, as a young girl, growing up in the far back hills of northwest Arkansas, near Japton and Ball Creek, she reports being a tomboy. Even so, she was always smart, and probably smarter than all the boys-and girls-in her one-room elementary school. In fact, she skipped second grade, and graduated high school, at sixteen, as valedictorian. That same year, her girls basketball team, from little Elkins High School, went to state! She loved basketball (but never told her grandmother because Little Granny would never have approved of the shorts in the uniform). She also loved cats. When she left for college in 1954, Fredde left eighteen cats at home in Durham. . . . And it is right to say: the smartest thing she ever did was put the Lord on in baptism, at Bible camp, when she was thirteen. This event marked the trajectory of her life.

But "Fredde" wasn't always a good fit. When she arrived at Harding College, her "name" had reserved her a room in the boys' dormitory, and there were no more available rooms in the girls' dorms--except-there was a girl who had requested a private room. It was the smallest room in the oldest dorm on campus, but it had an empty bed. Under the strange circumstances, the senior, a foreign student from Japan, agreed to allow a freshman to share her private room. It hadn't been that long since WWII, and Fredde was slightly afraid to meet her new roommate. Yet, Kylko became one of the greatest friends she ever had, even though the name "Fredde" never quite fit Kylko's mouth, "Fledde" was close enough.

As she recalled it, that first year of college was one of the happiest, most exciting times in her life. She loved the feeling of independence, being away from home, she loved all the girls who became her friends and sorority sisters, and she loved having adventures in faraway places, traveling with groups from Harding on mission trips. Even so, it was one day early in the fall of her sophomore year that changed her life forever. While walking across campus with a friend, Fredde saw a young man skipping down the steps of the library. "Who is that?" she gasped, sure that she had never seen anyone more handsome in her life!

"Where have you been?" Her friend responded, "Everyone knows him! That's Bill Path, the football star." Fredde never dreamed that someone like him would ever notice her. But he did! He says it was her ponytail that first caught his attention; he liked the way she wore it curled like a tornado. So, Monday, June 4,1956 Bill and "Fred" (as he called her) married.

Over the next sixty-five years, there were three children, sixteen different addresses, five different states, and Fredde wore many hats. She was a wife, a mother, a homemaker, a Girl Scout leader, salesperson, store manager, secretary, and executive secretary, but perhaps, the job that she took most seriously was Bible class teacher. Over the decades, Ms. Fredde taught countless children about God. Her creativity and compelling visuals made Bible class fun for her students and for her. The Lord will surely reward her excellent work.

Her grandchildren know her as an expert cook and seamstress. She loved creative sewing, but most of all she loved making teddy bears (perhaps we should call her creations "Freddy Bears.") Over the years, many people were blessed by bears that she made.

Tuesday overnight, in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, September 24, 2025, Winifred Lee (Rogers) Path left this world. She loved many who preceded her in death: her parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles (who were more like siblings to her), a dear cousin, Cindy, and a nephew, Steven Rogers, parents-in-law and sisters-in-law, all gone now. Bill died four years and nine days before Fredde, but they are apart no longer. Their youngest daughter, Penny, is with them too.

Fredde also loved all those who are left:

Her son: Dr. Bill R. Path and his wife, Debbie; their sons, Grayson Path, his wife, Katie, and their two children, Everette and Waverly; Dalton Path, his wife Kristen, and his sons, Rowland and new baby, Declan (pronounced Deck lan), due in December;

Her daughter: Pamela Dawn (Path) O'Neal and her husband, Brian; their daughters, Dr. Summer O'Neal, Auburn Spicer; and Taffy (O'Neal) Xu and her husband, Xu Jie/"Shane", and their girls, Beili (pronounced Bailey) and Ailin (pronounced Eileen);

Her only brother: Jerry Rogers and his wife Inola; their surviving children, Mike Rogers, JerriAnn (Rogers) Lamb, Kyle Rogers, and all their children;

Rest in peace Fredde. She was always concerned that passers-by might read her tombstone and think "Fredde" was a man. But that won't happen. For at the top, the marker clearly reads "Mom." And that is very fitting.

Lois Price

Lois Ann "Nana" Price, 97, of Okmulgee, Oklahoma, peacefully passed away on August 20, 2025, surrounded by family and embraced by the love of her church.

Born on July 21, 1928, in Mansfield, Wright County, Missouri, Lois lived a life devoted to faith, family, and service. After graduating high school, she began her career as a telephone operator for Pacific Bell in Exeter, California.

On July 21, 1948, she married the love of her life, Wilburn Price. Together, they embarked on a life filled with adventure, raising two beloved daughters, Pamela Leeth and Suzanne Barnett, building a business, founding a church in Visalia, California, and dedicating themselves to mission work, both at home and abroad in Nigeria, West Africa and Papua New Guinea.

In their retirement, Lois and Wilburn returned to Okmulgee, Oklahoma to be surrounded by their many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whom they spoiled with love and affection.

Lois will always be remembered for her warm and mischievous smile, her ability to command attention with a single look, and her deep, thoughtful conversations with friends. A woman of strong faith, she was often seen reading her Bible or listening to preaching, with the mission field holding a special place in her heart. Her unwavering commitment to the Lord was evident in all aspects of her life.

Lois is survived by her daughters, Pamela Leeth and her husband Sherman, and Suzanne Barnett and her husband Rick; granddaughters Elisabeth Miller, Sarah Grice and husband Tim, Ruth Thompson, Amyee Barnett-Bragg, Deanna Murray and husband Dicky, Alisa Brumlow and husband Aubrey; eleven great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren.

Her life embodied the words of Psalms 91:1-2: "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust." And in the spirit of 2 Timothy 4:7-8, Lois's legacy will live on: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing."

Services to celebrate Lois's life will be held on October 4 at 3 p.m. at Apostolic Life in Okmulgee.

Arrangements are entrusted to Schaudt Okmulgee Funeral Service & Cremation Care, 220 S. Alabama, Okmulgee, OK 74447. Family and friends may leave kind words of comfort, special memories and condolences to the family online at www.schaudtfuneralservice.com

Tyler Chalmers

With heavy hearts and deep love, we announce the passing of Tyler Allen Chalmers, age 33, on September 13, 2025, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Tyler was born on May 30, 1992, in Santa Rosa, California, to David Stites and Laura Chalmers, and from the very beginning, he brought joy, laughter, and kindness into the lives of all who knew him.

Tyler's early years were full of adventure, accompanying his mother as she pursued her medical training across California, St. Maarten, Ireland, and Oklahoma. These experiences shaped his love for people, culture, and connection. A graduate of Jenks High School and the University of Oklahoma, where he earned his business degree, Tyler was proud to have been accepted into the University of San Francisco's Sports Management Master's Program.

Sports were a lifelong passion. Tyler began playing baseball at the age of four while living in St. Maarten and later tried his hand at soccer and hurling in Ireland. His grandfather introduced him to ice skating at age five, sparking a love for hockey that carried through high school and beyond. He attended the Minnesota State Boys' High School Hockey Tournament twelve years in a row, always cheering with enthusiasm. He was also a devoted fan of OU football, basketball, LeBron James, Barry Bonds, and, truly, any game that brought people together.

Tyler loved music, food, and travel. He was known as the "foodie" in the family-always knowing the best local spots-and he never passed up an opportunity to share a meal. A lover of dogs, every visit to his family's home was complete only after countless games of fetch.

More than anything, Tyler will be remembered for his heart. He was lovable, compassionate, and kind-someone who cared deeply about people and relationships. Friends often called him a "big teddy bear," because he made others feel comfortable, welcome, and loved. He had a great sense of humor and a carefree spirit, yet he carried a deep empathy for others and a strong desire to see harmony within his family. Tyler reminded everyone to love one another, and he never left without giving a hug. He often joked that he should have been a therapist, because people were drawn to open up to him and leave with lighter hearts.

Tyler's memory will be cherished by his mother, Laura Chalmers, and stepfather, Mike Mullane; his father, David Stites; his grandparents, Susanne and David Chalmers, and Richard and Linda Stites; his siblings, Micheal Mullane and Emalie Mullane; his nephew, Gaberial Mullane; his girlfriend, Allison Ballenger; his aunts and uncles, Karen Reid, Thomas Chalmers, Frank and Susan Mullane, Paula Mullane, Trisha (Stites) Antell, and Cindy (Stites) Hinds; his cousins, Sebastian, Norrin, and Storm Chalmers, Brandon and Russell Antell, and many more from both sides of his family; as well as his great-aunt and uncle, and countless friends who were like family.

He is preceded in death by his great-grandparents, Lester and Marie Rubedor; his uncle, Christopher Mullane; his cousin, JoAnne Allen; his great-aunt, Frances Rojeski; his great-uncle, Robert Rojeski; and his mentor and friend, Nikki Spatafora.

Tyler's family takes comfort in his words and the joy he brought into this world:

"Smilz travel 4 milez" - T. $. Tyme

"Make it a great day or not; the choice is up to you."

In honor of Tyler's life and spirit, donations may be made to John 3:16 Mission in Tulsa.

Tyler's presence was a gift, and his absence leaves an unfillable void. His hugs, his laughter, and his gentle reminders to love each other will live on forever in the hearts of all who knew him.

Services have been entrusted to Schaudt Funeral Service. Friends & family may leave condolences and kind words of comfort at www.schaudtfuneralservice.com

Stanley Witham

Stanley Dale Witham

Stanley Dale Witham, known to most as "Gabby," was born in Henryetta, Oklahoma, on February 28, 1956, to Bobby and Edith (Walden) Witham.

Gabby grew up a rough-and-tumble kid who never did anything halfway and had no fear of anything. He attended Bryant Elementary in Tulsa during elementary school, and he attended Tiawah for 7th grade, then moving to Inola in at the age of 14. Inola is where Gabby would meet the people who would surround him for the rest of his life. And what a life it was! Many of his friends and siblings have a colorful story about "getting in trouble with Gabby". During his teenage years Gabby participated in boxing, shop class, and bull riding. He never walked away from a fight...even when he should have. Gabby married his high school sweetheart, Sandy Smith in 1974. Despite praying for a boy, in 1977 Gabby welcomed his first daughter Annie, and in 1981 his second daughter Jessica. He was the ultimate girl dad! He coached sports, played with dolls, took his girls fishing, read bedtime stories, and scared away monsters in the dark. He was a man of few words, but the words he offered were often meaningful, even if they were not always repeatable. Gabby hosted many teen and pre-teen slumber parties with his legendary "snack trays" piled high with junk food! He was the king of tornados as he often destroyed Barbie villages built by Annie and Jess after HOURS of hard work.

In his late teens, Gabby began his career in the world of water well drilling. Men such as Stoney Burke, Jim Winnick, and Nelson Hoss were admired immensely by Gabby. In 1980 Gabby started Witham Drilling. He successfully ran Witham Drilling for over 20 years, and he always had a side gig working on something mechanical or pushing dirt around on a bull dozer. Hunting was beyond just a hobby for Gabby. For 15 years he hunted with his best friend Sam, a devoted yellow Lab. He loved the mountains, and he loved the waters of Cozumel. He was scuba certified and he loved the water. He frequently had to wear weights when he went diving because he was so light he would float to the top!

Stanley loved watching his grandkids grow up! He would frequently play hide and seek with them in the dark when they were small, he read classic stories to them and added his own "spin" to make them all belly laugh, he even gave their bedtime bottles when he'd stop by for a late-night visit. He loved Christmas when his girls lived at home, and he was always adding more lights to one-up the year before. He would spend hours on the roof getting the lights just right. He loved antiques and old stuff with a story. He was a "collector" of many things.

Gabby provoked strong feelings in people. You either loved him or hated him. He didn't really care which it was. Gabby didn't want a funeral. He said, "half the sonofabitches who will come don't even like me". So there will not be a funeral.

Gabby is preceded in death by his parents, Bobby Witham and Edith Walden; his brother, Steve Douglas; and his sisters, Shari Henderson and Pam Martin.

He leaves behind his daughter, Annie Whinery and husband John, his daughter Jessica Lee, his grandsons, Kameron Whinery, Trevor Mora, and Harper Whinery; granddaughters Evie Mora, Tannie Jo Lee, and Alecia Ringler; his siblings, brother Russ Witham, and sisters Gayle Witham, Sandy Douglas, and Pam Hinkle. Gabby's family is incredibly grateful to his life-long besties: Joe Keith Hall, Slugger, Jeff Orender, David Wilson, and Don Fugate for all the love and support given throughout his life until his last breath. Gabby's family and closest friends will never forget his wild stunts, stories, near death experiences, tough edges, tender heart, and the way he unashamedly lived life completely on his own terms.

He will be missed tremendously.

A Celebration of Life will be held in the Spring of 2026.

Arrangements are entrusted to Schaudt Glenpool-Bixby Funeral Service & Cremation Care Centers, 1329 East 151st Street, Glenpool, OK 74033. Condolences may be shared at www.schaudtfuneralservice.com
