Ruby Jean Gasaway

Ruby Jean Gasaway, a resident of Henryetta, Oklahoma, passed peacefully to her heavenly reward at the age of 90 on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. She was born on April 14, 1935, in Hanna, Oklahoma.

Ruby met and married the love of her life on October 11, 1956, and they began a life together raising children...daughters...five of them. Although they still had no sons, they eventually gained sons-in-law who she loved like her own yet was still very proud to tell everyone she had five daughters. She enjoyed going to church and attending with her longtime friends at the Church of Christ in Weleetka. She especially loved visiting at lunch afterward. She also loved visiting the Church of Christ in Henryetta where she had many friends and family. She loved her Savior and loved that her children knew the Lord.

Ruby loved to travel...anywhere...but never until she had put on her red lipstick. She would quickly ask you where you were going in anticipation that you might take her with you. She never really cared where to, just that she could get her lipstick on and go and spend time with you. She loved going on cruises and wanted to attend all the activities. She also enjoyed camping and fishing and loved taking the girls on camping trips or simply a ride through Talimena scenic drive or to Robbers Cave. When the grandchildren arrived, she continued her traveling legacy by taking her grandchildren camping and teaching them fishing and campfire cooking which she continued, in turn, with her great-grandchildren.

She loved laughing, and contrary to how most people knew her, she could be quite comical and loved doing something funny while having her picture made just to get a laugh. She was a gardener and would oftentimes remind us to bring our dying plants to her intensive care unit. She also enjoyed flowers and watching the birds, especially the cardinals. As her memory began to fade, she loved looking out the window at the birds and watching squirrels she believed were meerkats. Ruby loved babies. It did not matter if she knew the person or not, she would make her way to any baby in the store and start playing with them.

Ruby was a caretaker at heart. After a lifetime of caring for her husband and children, she became a healthcare provider and worked for a while providing care for the elderly. She enjoyed visiting with them and feeling useful again. During her last couple of years, she became a "caretaker" in her dementia memory care unit, making sure the staff knew when one of the residents needed something or that she would go get it herself. The family is very thankful and appreciative for her caring and loving staff at the dementia memory care unit at Highland Park in Okmulgee.

Ruby was preceded in death by her husband, Roy Gasaway, grandson Christopher (C.J.) Gilbert, parents, Carmie Mae (Nuckolls) Bullard and Jessie David (Dave) Bullard, brothers, Jessie Bullard and Edward Monroe Bullard.

Ruby is survived by her daughters and their families, Elizabeth Pistole and husband, Gary, of Choctaw, Oklahoma, Debbie Gilbert of Henryetta, Oklahoma, JoAnn Pigeon and husband, Virgil, of Weleetka, Oklahoma, Susie Walcher and husband, Rex, of Henryetta, Oklahoma, and Paula Kissee and husband, Roger, of Henryetta, Oklahoma.

Ruby has a host of grandchildren, Jennifer Pigeon and husband, Jesse, Rebecca Parks and husband, Jason, Michael Pigeon, Shannon Henry and husband, Jordon, Rachel Pigeon, Katie Sanford and husband, Derek, Sydney Madison and husband, Jordan, Brandon McCoy and wife, Rae Ann, and Elizabeth Minyard, plus many great-grandchildren.

Ruby's life was one of faithfulness and love for her family and friends. Her legacy will continue through the many lives she touched.

Viewing will be from 5-7 p.m., Thursday, February 26, 2026, at Integrity Funeral Service.

Funeral Services are scheduled for 2:00 p.m., Friday, February 27, 2026, at Henryetta Church of Christ, and officiated by Donnie Nero. Interment will follow at Weleetka Cemetery.

Services are under the Care and direction of Integrity Funeral Service.

Sutv Violet Harjo

Celebrating the Life of Sutv Violet Harjo

Born on September 14, 2004, in Shawnee, OK, Sutv Violet Harjo entered the world with a vibrant spark that never dimmed. Her mother, Cassandra Thompson, recognized early on that Sutv was a true embodiment of kindness, creativity, humor, and determination-qualities that beautifully intertwined throughout her life. From the beginning, their bond was strong, filled with warmth and love. Whether she was dancing, playing wahoo, with her pets, or enjoying moments with loved ones, Sutv had an extraordinary ability to turn ordinary experiences into cherished memories.

The Importance of Family

Family held a profound significance in Sutv's heart, and she welcomed her chosen family with open arms. Sutv adopted Jazmyne as her sister when she was four and gathered many more as life went on. Including elders who she met as mentors, but chose them as family. When she loved someone, they became her person. She admired her brother, Seth Harjo, cherishing his love, protection, accountability, athleticism, and bravery in serving his country. Sutv shared an unbreakable bond with her sister, Louisa Harjo, filled with laughter, sports, singing, dancing, and exciting adventures. Their connection was truly unique, showcasing the joy and strength of family as they celebrated each moment with enthusiasm and passion. Sutv's love for spreading joy extended to her cousins-Kiara, Devean, Elissa, Tanea, Blair, Mia, and Sergio-creating joyful memories whenever they gathered. She held her aunties-Mvnetta, Mvhayv, Jordan, Carol Kae, and Dana-close to her heart. Time spent with Pucv, Joe, and Pvwv Uncle Hully always brought excitement to her life. Her Grandma Dora and Suga-Momma represented the matriarchal strength she aspired to embody. Sonny Kvncvpv Barnes came into her life, making her the happiest aunt and she was excited to show him the world.

While Sutv adored her human family, she also cherished her furry companions. Boss, Socks, Brownie, Tony Parker, Thunder Cat, Freddie Mercury, Roger, Rosie, Joseph, Jax, and her beloved baby Rocky were the highlights of her days. Whenever she was home, they were the ones she cuddled, danced with, and taught tricks to in the Mvskoke language.

A Journey Through Culture and Community

Sutv's name translates to "Sky" in the Mvskoke language, a heritage she takes great pride in. Hailing from the tribal town of Rvro Kvlv (Fishpond) and Hotvlkvlke (Wind Clan), she embraced her Native American identity throughout her life. As she matured, Sutv welcomed young adulthood with a hopeful spirit, beautifully integrating her Mvskoke culture into all facets of her existence. Through her engagement in Native American clubs, she celebrated her ancestral roots, mastering the art of creating a proper set of cans for stomp dance, fingerweaving yarn belts, and crafting moccasins under her mother's guidance. She cherished the skills of beading hats and speaking the Mvskoke language. Moments spent learning Mvskoke hymns with her sister Louisa were particularly special; at just four years old, they were invited to perform "Oketv Cvmpusan" (Ekvnv Herusat Ocet Os- Sweet By and By) alongside other hymns at local churches. Sutv loved singing these hymns and attending ceremonial grounds with her grandfather, Joe Sulphur.

Her most treasured lessons unfolded in her Suga-Momma, Grandma Carol Tiger's kitchen. Eager to master various traditional recipes, she especially relished making grape dumplings. Last year, she entered a contest with her grandma, securing second place while Grandma Carol took third. This achievement stood out as the pinnacle of her year. The wisdom shared by her elders motivated her to keep learning and sharing her culture with others.

Sutv participated in the Oklahoma Native Youth Language Fair for several years, earning first place for her Mvskoke comics four years in a row. She actively joined the Muscogee Nation Challenge Bowl each year and was ecstatic to volunteer as an adult. Throughout her life, she exhibited a strong commitment to her tribal community, particularly in supporting elders through events like the Senior Sweetheart Dance, Senior Games, and holiday lunches at the elderly nutrition program. Recently, she volunteered as an Mvskoke Language moderator at the Challenge Bowl, all while managing her studies as a college student at the College of the Muscogee Nation, and serving as a dedicated member of the Mvskoke Nation Youth Council for a decade. Her sister and the MNYS gave her the encouragement to run in the Mvskoke Royalty pageant in which she earned several awards for her talents and introduction letter. Being a part of the Mvskoke Nation Youth Council brought Sutv immense joy. Together with her sister Louisa, she participated in the inaugural Mvskoke Hymn Choir, attended UNITY conferences, and utilized her skills in service. Reflecting on her ten years with the Council, she shared:

"I've experienced cultural healing, activism, community, and service. Throughout this journey, I've not only made wonderful friends but also a forever family. Words cannot capture the joy of the memories I've created with this incredible community. I am forever grateful to be part of this Youth Council and aspire to continue learning, growing, and giving back to the community that has shaped me into who I am today. Being a member of the Mvskoke Nation Youth Council has instilled in me the importance of honoring our culture, uplifting one another, and serving with purpose. I will always carry these lessons, memories, and connections with me."

A Cherished Heart & Soul

Sutv was a cherished member of the Uekewv Mekusapkv Cuko-Springfield Indian Methodist Church, where she treasured the time spent with her church family. They instilled in her a deep care for people, family, and faith, values she embraced in her interactions with others-always with sincerity, empathy, and an open heart.

It is Sutv's heart that has united us. Through her love, her physical struggles, and the immense affection we held for her. When her heart began to fail, many of her dreams and aspirations had to adapt. She envisioned herself as a cultural teacher, aspiring to earn a degree, grow her following through makeup tutorials, create Mvskoke kid videos with her sister for her nephew Sonny, be the best aunt imaginable, learn every Mvskoke hymn, film her grandma's cooking tutorials while mastering her recipes, and perhaps one day become a makeup artist and producer of the Native Badies Reality Show.

To know Sutv was to experience her laughter, comfort, and inspiration. She possessed a remarkable ability to make others feel acknowledged, share captivating stories, provide unwavering support, and spread joy through her work. Her presence left an indelible mark that transcends time. Her smile, her voice, and her essence will forever be vivid in our memories, cherished by all who loved her.

She is lovingly remembered by her mother, Cassandra Thompson, sister, Louisa Harjo and brother, Seth Harjo, her grandparents, Eugenia Tiger, Dora Taylor, and Joe Sulphur, her aunties, uncles, extended family, and many close friends, as well as countless others whose lives she touched in ways big and small. She was preceded in death by her paternal grandpa Daniel "Bodee" Thompson.

A Celebration of Life

Sutv Violet, aged 21, lived a life that, though all too brief, was rich with warmth, laughter, and moments that will resonate in the hearts of those who cherished her for years to come. She departed this world on Saturday, February 7th, 2026, leaving behind a quieter existence without her vibrant spirit.

The Celebration of Sutv's life will commence on Tuesday, February 10th, featuring dinner at 5 p.m., followed by the wake at 6 p.m. Services will take place at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, February 11th, both at Springfield Indian United Methodist Church. Officiating will be Curtis Scott and Rev. Clarence Yarholar, Joy Harjo providing a tribute poem, and obituary reading by Randy Colbert. Interment will follow at Tiger Home Place under the direction and care of Integrity Funeral Service. Family and friends will gather not only to grieve her loss but also to celebrate the beauty of who she was and the love she shared so freely.

Although her journey ended too soon, Sutv's life was filled with meaning, brightness, and deep affection. Her legacy endures - in the cherished memories we share, in quiet moments of remembrance, and in the everlasting love she leaves behind.

Pallbearers will be Michael "Hully" Sulphur, Wesly Nysm, Charles Mason, Eli Tilley, Brock Hicks, Leroy Harjo, John John Brown, Jace Fitzgerald, and James Arthurs.

Honorary Pallbearers will be Seth Harjo, Devean George, Shawn D. Wolfe, Aaron Little, and Past & Present Mvskoke Nation Youth Council.

Ushers will be Merle Berryhill, Thomas Yarholar, Stacy Scott, and John Wolfe.

Donna Lynn Lovell

Donna Lynn Lovell, deeply loved and respected wife, mother, and Nana, passed from this life on Friday, January 30, 2026. She is now completely restored and resting with her Savior.

Donna was born to Mike and Wynona Crawley in Henryetta, Oklahoma on July 14, 1953. She attended and graduated from Weleetka High School, where she met her husband Gary Lovell, and they began creating their life together. Donna was a registered nurse, achieving her degree in only two years. She worked in the open-heart surgery division of Baptist Medical Center supporting their family as Gary attended medical school. She later worked alongside her husband for over 30 years in his family medical practice, taking on every role from nurse to office manager and all things in between.

Donna was a proud wife to Gary for over 52 years. She was deeply in love and dedicated. Even up to their last months in life together, if you saw Donna then you saw Gary and, more often than not, they were hand-in-hand. They had a love and marriage that has inspired generations.

She had a traveler spirit and enjoyed seeing the world, which led to her second career as a travel agent. She was also a licensed pilot, alternating co-pilot roles with her husband, as they were known to take off on a whim and end up wherever the weather was good. Whether they were on trips in Europe and Asia, a fly-in breakfast in the corner of the state, or a spontaneous road trip to see the largest ball of yarn, Donna was happiest when she and Gary were on an adventure together. `

Donna was a devoted mother to her three children. She spent countless hours, days, and years traveling to tennis and golf tournaments, attending every ceremony, school play, and never failing to be their biggest fan. If you were a friend in her children's lives, she no doubt was packing your snacks, driving you around, cheering your matches, and celebrating you too. She taught us all what it truly means to show up for the people in your life. Donna was selfless in every way.

For Donna, the role of Nana was icing on the cake. She lit up when her grandchildren walked in a room or even at the sound of their names. She would change any plan she had just to be with them. Whether it was taking them on trips, cousin sleep-over parties with all the junk food or picking and eating blackberries straight off the bush on a summer day, time stood still when their grandbabies were with Nana and Papa.

Donna had a servant heart in the truest form. She worked on medical mission trips in foreign countries, served in her local church in any and every way she could, and mentored countless women and girls by loving them and taking the time to see their needs and meet them wherever they were. She was a friend, a mom, a nana, and a servant to everyone. Donna loved fiercely, selflessly, and wholly.

Though her mind and memory betrayed her in recent years, Donna maintained her fire and spark. She was kind, faithful and strong beyond the bounds of this world and trusted her life to her Savior. She was loved by all those who cared for her and was still able to love them back. She met us with a hug every day and left her husband with a goodbye kiss even when she couldn't put names to faces. Donna was a beautiful, intelligent, kind, and loving woman of God, and her legacy continues in those she leaves behind.

She is survived by her loving and dedicated husband, Gary Lovell, her three children Danny Lovell and wife Amber, Andy Lovell and fiancé Marina Lukac and Sarah Thompson and husband Travis. She leaves her love with her six grandchildren, Abby Lovell, Ethan Lovell, Gracie Lovell, Truman Lovell, Emma Thompson, Ella Thompson, and her great-granddaughter Zoe Carter. She leaves each of you who knew her with warmth and love and the hope that you will all meet her again in heaven one day.

There will be a memorial service at the Church of Christ in Henryetta, Oklahoma on Friday, February 6th, 2026, at 2pm under the direction of Integrity Funeral Home.

Flowers are welcome, or memorial gifts may be directed to the Alzheimer's Association.
