Linda Lou Osborn Reddick

Linda Lou Osborn Reddick, 87, longtime Bartlesville resident, passed Monday, Mar. 30, 2026, at Jane Phillips Hospital in Bartlesville following an extended illness.

She was a graduate of Nowata High School and worked for the Phillips Petroleum Company as a travel agent for many years. She married Steve Humphrey on Sept. 21, 1968 and together they lived in KC, MO, Miami, FL, Tallahassee Fl, Cedartown, GA, and Rocky Mount, NC. They had one child from their marriage, Lisa Ann Humphrey. Linda and Lisa were incredibly close throughout life.

She married John Reddick on Nov. 16, 1984, and made their home in Bartlesville. Linda and John were lucky enough to enjoy a long retirement together filled with lots of excursions around the US.
