Rebecca Sue Pecore

Rebecca Sue Pecore, affectionately known as Becky, passed away peacefully on April 15, 2026, in her hometown of Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Born on April 23, 1952 to Sylvester and Gloria D. (Ketchum) Scullawl, Becky's life was a tapestry of love, dedication, and spirited charm, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of her family and community.

Becky's early years were spent attending Bartlesville Schools and Copan High School, after which she answered the call of duty by joining the U.S. Air Force. This chapter of service demonstrated her deep commitment and strength, qualities she carried proudly throughout her life. In the mid-1980s, she delighted many with her baked goods at the Owl Shoppe in Shawnee, but perhaps her most cherished role was that of a skilled homemaker, a role she embraced with the care and devotion of a true matriarch.

A woman of spunky spirit and traditional values, Becky was often likened to "Betty Crocker" not just for her culinary prowess but also for her loving and caring nature. She married her husband, David E. Pecore, on June 30, 1975, and together they shared 28 years of marriage filled with mutual support and affection until his passing in 2003. Her enduring faith found expression in her long-time membership at St. Benedict's Catholic Church, where she devoted herself until her husband's death. Her nurturing heart extended beyond her immediate family as she provided late-life care for her husband's grandmother, a testament to her dedication to service and love.

Becky's joys were found in the daily support of her husband on their farm, supporting her family with her cooking and sewing, spending time with her beloved grandchildren, playing card games such as Nertz, Solitaire, and Uno, and singing-activities that brought warmth and laughter into her home. Her family remembers her not only for her talents and hospitality but for the loving, caring, yet feisty, presence she always was.

Survivors include her children: Linda Doane and husband David of Bartlesville, Oklahoma; Venus Hoffner of Royersford, Pennsylvania; David Pecore and wife Stevie of Chelsea, Oklahoma; and Jacob Pecore of Claremore, Oklahoma; siblings: Sylvester "Butch" Scullawl and wife Tammy of Ochelata, Oklahoma; Rita Buoy and husband David of Meeker, Oklahoma; Tonya Solomon and husband Dwight of Mineral Wells, Texas; Merry Rodriguez and husband Ray of Macomb, Oklahoma; and Terry Thomason and husband Darren of Ochelata, Oklahoma; grandchildren: Dakota Yott and wife Katie of Shawnee, Oklahoma; Wyatt Yott of Bartlesville; Jason Hoffner and wife Elizabeth of Virginia Beach, Virginia; Ian Hoffner of Royersford, Pennsylvania; Emily Hoffner of Sellersville, Pennsylvania; John Hoffner of Royersford, Pennsylvania; Patience Cooper and Payton Cooper of Shawnee, Oklahoma; Odin Sanders of Shawnee; Braden Brinlee, Calliegh Pecore, Jace Pecore, Talon Pecore, Kaydo Pecore, Lily Pecore, and grandson Boogie, all of Chelsea, Oklahoma; great-grandchildren: Nova Yott, Arrow Yott, Arlow Yott, and eagerly awaited the arrival of great-grandson Logan Blaize Cooper.

Becky was predeceased by her beloved parents, Sylvester and Gloria (Ketchum) Scullawl; her husband David E. Pecore; daughters Sherrie Pecore and Lissia Pecore; her infant son; brother Scott Scullawl; and grandsons Dalton Yott and Donald Cooper.

The family invites all who loved Becky to honor her memory at Walker Funeral & Cremation Service in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Viewing will be held on April 21, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m., with a visitation with the family present from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The funeral service will follow the next day, April 22, at 11:00 a.m. in the chapel at Walker Funeral & Cremation Service. Following the ceremony, Becky will be laid to rest next to her husband David at Calvary Cemetery in Shawnee.

Shane Tackett, a devoted husband, loving father, and courageous soldier, passed away on November 30, 2025, in Ukraine. His life was defined by resilience, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to justice and service.

Born in El Paso, Texas, Shane spent his childhood in Prague, Oklahoma, graduating from Prague High School in 2008. Even from a young age, his path was unmistakable.

Professionally, Shane served as a Safety Specialist for Nana Management Services, conducting safety inspections across the United States with diligence and care. His sharp intellect, thoughtful nature, and genuine concern for the well‑being of others earned him deep respect among colleagues and friends.

Shane lived with curiosity, passion, and a mind always hungry to learn. He loved chess and mentally challenging puzzles, often sharing his memorable “bell curve” analogies. His interests included hunting, camping, precision shooting, hiking, gaming, Pokémon cards, piano, survival skills, and maintaining a saltwater aquarium. Whatever he pursued, he did so with enthusiasm and a spirit of exploration.

Shane is survived by his beloved wife, Amariah Tackett; his two cherished daughters, Lilly Tackett of Shawnee, Oklahoma, and Iris Tulsi Tackett of Wasilla, Alaska; His father Dwight Tackett of Midwest City, Oklahoma; his mother, Shawn Sprouse, and her husband, Shane Sprouse, of Shawnee, Oklahoma; and his brothers Joel Tackett, Koale Tackett, and Chad Tackett and wife Katelyn, all of Midwest City.

Robert Lee Jones

Robert Lee Jones, born April 19, 1951, in Bridgeville, Delaware, passed away on April 5, 2026, Easter Sunday, in Shawnee, Oklahoma, after a very long battle with COPD. He died peacefully in his own home, surrounded by those he loved the most.

From a young age, Bob demonstrated the qualities of resilience and commitment that defined much of his life. After serving in the Marines, which led him to move to California, he earned a bachelor's degree in business. His career began with service as a police officer in Oceanside, California. He then began his lifelong career at San Onofre Power Plant. After 32 years, he retired in 2012 as a nuclear security compliance coordinator. Along the way, he married Shelley Hall-Schwaben in San Marcos, California, in 2003. After retirement, the couple then moved to Oklahoma to be closer to family.

Those close to him remember a man who was fiercely determined, stubborn, and often a bit of a smart ass, yet his sharp wit was always softened by an unwavering devotion to his family. He was a true fighter in every sense, navigating life’s challenges with grit while ensuring that his loved ones felt his deep care every step of the way.

Retirement opened a new chapter filled with adventure and joy. Bob and Shelley purchased an RV and spent approximately six years traveling the country—from California to Michigan and Oklahoma—in order to stay close to all of their children and grandchildren. In his earlier years, Bob enjoyed golfing, racquetball, bowling, and going to the casinos. He also enjoyed his faithful companions, their puppies, Jackie and Jill.

Bob was preceded in death by his stepfather, John D. Wilkerson; mother, Grace M. Wilkerson; father, Hunter Jones; sister, Joyce Hamada; and son, Kenny Coleman.

Survivors include his wife, Shelley Jones; sons, Rob Jones and wife Valerie, John Jones, and Kyle Schwaben; daughters, Carrie Stanek and husband Charles and Julie Schwaben; amazing sister, Bonnie Hatcher and husband Gary; brother, John Wilkerson and wife Sandy; 15 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; and numerous other extended family members.

A memorial ceremony honoring Bob’s life will be held on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at the Walker Funeral Chapel.

Memorial donations may be made in Bob's honor to Interim Hospice of Oklahoma City, Tunnels to Tower, or The American Heart Association.
