Robert Brent Bartlett

Robert “Brent” Bartlett went to his Eternal home on Monday, January 12, to be with the Lord.

Brent was born on February 10, 1960, in Midwest City, Oklahoma, to Jerry Donald Bartlett and Willie Ruth “Hucks” Bartlett. He was raised in Midwest City and graduated from Star Spencer High School in 1978. Later that year, in August, he met his beautiful bride, Rhonda Brewer. Won over quickly by her nurturing spirit and signature Southern cooking, Brent and Rhonda were married in March of 1979.

Brent worked at WW Steel and General Motors before beginning a 41-year career at Tinker Air Force Base. He spent much of that time in the fabric shop making and packing parachutes—a role he took great pride in.

An avid sports fan, Brent cheered faithfully for the Oklahoma City Thunder and the University of Oklahoma, but his greatest passion was dirt track racing. For more than 20 years, he spent countless weekends watching and filming races and became a familiar and beloved presence at dirt tracks throughout Oklahoma and southern Kansas.

Brent was a man of God. We confidently rest in the comfort of knowing Brent is with his Savior, made new and healthy!

Brent was preceded in death by his parents; his sister, Peggy Bartlett; his brother, Jerry “Brother” Bartlett; and his unborn son, Baby J.

He is survived by his wife, Rhonda Bartlett; his children, Jodie Bartlett, Jonah Bartlett, Jenna Roberts and husband, Sean, Janae Bartlett, and Jason Bartlett; his brother, Nathan Bartlett and wife, Shannon; his grandchildren, Andie Roberts, Selene Avila, and Pierson Roberts; and many loving nieces and nephews.

Viewing will be held Thursday, January 15, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m., with funeral services on Friday, January 16, at 10:00 a.m., both at Asa Smith Funeral Home in Harrah, Oklahoma.

The family asks that you come wearing whatever makes you comfortable; Brent loved a ball cap and sports T-shirt!

Debbie Sue Lumry

On November 30th, 2025, the world lost a beloved soul, Debbie Lumry of Harrah, Oklahoma.

Born on October 2nd, 1962, Debbie lived a life filled with love, laughter, and adventure. Debbie was a devoted wife to Mike Lumry, whom she married on July21, 2000. Together, they raised two wonderful children, Ryan Wilder and Brandon Wilder. Debbie has four grandchildren Ian, Landon, Leighton, and Lane. Debbie lived a life filled with love, laughter, adventure and a love for reading her Bible every day! Debbie is survived by her Mother Shirley Woods of Mi.

Debbie was a force to be reckoned with. She proudly served in the Air Force, dedicating herself to protecting her country and those she loved. Her bravery and determination were an inspiration to all who knew her. When she wasn't busy serving her country, Debbie enjoyed spending time in her garden, cultivating beautiful flowers and delicious vegetables. Her green thumb was unmatched, and her gardens were a sight to behold. Debbie loved to learn and did so exceptionally well. She earned her master’s degrees in international business and world economics later in life and she was well on her way to earn her doctorate when cancer struck. She loved to go riding with Mike on his Harley/Davidson and enjoyed boating on lakes all over Oklahoma and the Ozarks. She and Mike enjoyed making new friends at every lake they visited. Debbie was also a skilled martial arts instructor and deeply enjoyed sharing her passion for martial arts with her many young students.

Tragically, Debbie's life was cut short by cancer. Despite this devastating disease, she faced each day with courage and grace, never once losing her infectious smile or positive attitude.

Debbie Lumry may no longer walk among us, but her spirit will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her. Her legacy of love, strength, and compassion will continue to inspire generations to come.
