Steven was born March 4th, 1961, in Buenos Aires, Argentina to Esteban Ceferino Frascini and Delia Elena Ayarza de Frascini. He spent his early years there, where he completed his schooling before moving to California with his older brother, Luis Mario Frascini. Highly intelligent and naturally gifted with his hands, Steven was known as someone who could fix almost anything.

He built a long career in industrial manufacturing, working primarily in the oil and gas industry with Sagebrush Pipeline in Sapulpa, Oklahoma. Outside of work, Steven’s hobbies reflected his love of engines and craftsmanship. He enjoyed anything with a motor and was an avid Ford enthusiast, car club member, and proud owner of several Mustangs over the years.

Steven appreciated all types of music and frequently attended live shows. He was also a talented carpenter and general contractor who took great pride in building projects and remodeling homes. A lifelong Formula 1 fan, he especially admired driver Emerson Fittipaldi and followed the Ferrari and McLaren teams. For a period of years, he and his family lived in Orange County, California, where he loved attending the Long Beach Grand Prix and enjoyed many family road trips to visit loved ones in Oklahoma.

Steven enjoyed tinkering on anything that needed fixing and took pride in passing his knowledge and strong work ethic on to his children. He also enjoyed fi****ms as a hobby and could often be found at the shooting range or at local gun shows. Above all, he deeply loved his children and grandchildren and enthusiastically supported them in all their activities. He appreciated musical instruments of all kinds and owned several, making them available for his grandchildren to explore and enjoy.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

Steven is survived by his two older siblings, Luis Mario Frascini and Maria Isabel Frascini de Andreu *Chispa* along with their families; former wife, Christie Frascini; his children, Sharlene Owens, Poul Frascini with his wife Carolyn, Frank Owens, and Gannon Frascini with his wife Karlee; and his beloved grandchildren, Daxton, Trulee, Mia, Asher, Kaylee, Maverick, and Waylon.

Donna Sue Bryant entered her heavenly home on Monday, March 9, 2026, at the age of 86. Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Mobley-Groesbeck Funeral Service of Sand Springs.

A funeral service celebrating Donna’s life will be held at 10:00 a.m., Tuesday, March 17, at New Life Tabernacle in Sand Springs. Donna will be laid to rest at Sperry Rest Haven Cemetery. Viewing will be held at the church on Monday evening from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.

Donna was born on June 28, 1939, in Sperry, Oklahoma, to George Richard Gowin and Mae (Wilburn) Gowin. She grew up in Sperry and graduated from Sperry High School in 1957, where she was proudly crowned Homecoming Queen. Donna also loved playing basketball—at least until her parents discovered her uniform.

Her high school sweetheart was Orville Elbert “J.R.” Bryant, Jr. When J.R. left for the military, their love endured the distance. On July 18, 1958, the two eloped to Arkansas and were married, beginning a lifelong journey together built on faith, love, and devotion. They made their home in Tulsa and Garden City before eventually settling in Berryhill, where J.R. pastored Berryhill United Pentecostal Church. For the last 26 years of her life, Donna faithfully attended New Life Tabernacle.

Donna dedicated her life to her family as a homemaker. She enjoyed reading and knitting, but what truly set Donna apart was her heart for encouraging others. She loved writing thoughtful notes and giving small gifts to friends and family who needed a lift in spirit. She had a special way of brightening someone’s day and reminding them they were loved.

Donna was deeply faithful—both in her marriage and in her walk with God. While she had a gentle and caring spirit, those who knew her well also knew she had a bit of “iron woman” in her. With just one look, she could make it very clear when someone had crossed the line—a look that family members would jokingly say could “curdle milk.”

Donna was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Orville Elbert “J.R.” Bryant, Jr.; her parents; her grandson, Landon Bryant; and her siblings: Beatrice Robinson, Naomi Nantz, Richard “Dick” Gowin, Jr., Kay Alanis, and Johnny Gowin.

She leaves behind a loving legacy in her family: her sons, Mark Bryant and wife, Bobbie, and W. Greg Bryant and wife, Sonya; her grandchildren: Obie Bryant and wife, Crystal, Tim Weakley, Greg Bryant II and wife, D’Ann, Joshua Bryant, and Dallas Bryant and wife, Staci; and her treasured great-grandchildren, Payton Bryant, Jack Henry Bryant, Luke Bryant, Claire Weakley, Ethan Weakley, Amaryllis Bryant, Kinsley Bryant, Trip Bryant, Skyelyn Bryant, and Zane Bryant. She is also survived by her sister, Rose Marie “Rosie” Vega and husband, Johnny, along with many extended family members and dear friends who will miss her greatly.

Memorial contributions may be made to New Life Tabernacle to support their Sobriety Ministry, 13107 W. 41st St., Sand Springs, OK 74063.

Donna’s life was a testimony of faith, devotion, and kindness. Her encouraging words, thoughtful gestures, and steadfast love will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Donna Sue Bryant entered her heavenly home on Monday, March 9, 2026, at the age of 86. Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Mobley-Groesbeck Funeral Service of Sand Springs. A funeral service celebrating Donnas life will be held at 1000 a.m., Tuesday, March 17, at New Life Tabernacle in

Patricia Ann Dodson (Cooper) was born May 26th, 1951, in Stillwater, Ok at Stillwater Hospital to Arthur "Art" LaVon and Mary Jane Cooper (Buntin). Patty, as she was known to many, was the oldest of 3 children. She was the mother to James Robert Dodson and Jentry Marie Moore (Dodson) and the Moma (Grandmother) to Carter, Henry, Jude and Everly Dodson

Patty was steadfast, loyal, and caring. Even in her later years, her mind riddled with dementia, she couldn't be tricked into telling her daughter which one of her children she loved the most. Some moments she didn't even remember she had kids. But the things she never forgot were her grandchildren, or “baby-kids” as she later learned to call them, her husband, Jim, her son-in-law, Adam, her sister-in-law, Sandy, her childhood friend Pat, Germany and all the time she spent there with her lifelong friends, whom she also never forgot. She talked a lot about the cafe her grandma owned in Stillwater when she was a child and her dad being the "ice cream guy" (delivery driver for Borden's).

Patty lived the majority of her early years in the Tulsa area. She was a graduate of East Central High School Class of 1969.

In 1971 she married the love of her life, Jim, and shortly after they moved to Germany. After Germany She lived in Texas, Minnesota and Cleveland, Oklahoma. When she finally settled back in Tulsa, she worked a few different places, most notably Avis and The Oklahoma Medical Examiner's Office, making many close friends along the way.

Patty will be remembered fondly for her sarcastic wit, her interest in True Crime, her beautiful crochet pieces, her fondness of Leon Russell, her admirable work ethic and her unwavering love for her grandchildren.

She will be greeted in Heaven by many people she has missed dearly, including her husband, Jim; her baby sister, Belinda; her parents; grandparents; brother-in-law, Bob; and many other friends and family.

She is leaving behind her son, James; daughter-in-law, Briannah; daughter, Jentry; son-in-law, Adam; and her all-time favorite people, her "Baby Kids" Carter, Henry, Jude and Everly; and many other family and friends.
