Roy McDonald passed away leaving behind a legacy of faith, hard work, and devotion to family. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Rebecca Sue McDonald, whom he loved dearly.

Roy is survived by his sons, Michael McDonald (Jennifer) and Terry McDonald (Christi). He was a proud grandfather to Matthew, Joshua, Jacob, and Adam McDonald, and Jerry and Emmalee McDonald.

A respected businessman, Roy was the longtime owner of Chickasha Office Supply, where he later retired. Throughout his working years as a business owner and salesman, he was known for his friendly spirit, honesty, and strong work ethic.

Roy was a man of deep and abiding faith. He loved the Lord with all his heart and faithfully served as a deacon in his church until his retirement. His faith guided his life and the way he treated others.

In his free time, Roy enjoyed hunting and fishing, playing cards, and spending time with family and friends. He will be remembered as a simple man who lived with integrity, loved his family well, enjoyed the outdoors, and walked faithfully with the Lord.

If working at the funeral home has taught me anything it’s that grief doesn’t clock out at five.

And after traveling through grief these past few years personally. I realized oftentimes grief is more present in the quiet moments after five and on the weekends.

Everyone’s path in life is different. Don’t compare yourself to anyone else or your path. Be you and who God created you to be♥️

Same with healing from releasing your loved ones back into God’s care. It’s not easy and the time it takes one person to heal is not the same for everyone else. Take all the time you need. And when your heart is ready you will feel the release in you that you’ve been seeking.

In Loving Memory of

May 31, 1954 – January 9, 2026

Helen Louise Griffith Dunback, 71 years young, passed away peacefully on January 9, 2026. A beautiful soul, she left this world far too soon, though we take comfort in knowing she is no longer in pain and is now surrounded by her big, loving family.

Helen was preceded in death by her parents Irene and Bill Harris beloved husband, Leon David Griffith; her sister Mary; her half-sister Pat; and her brothers Freddie and Robert Dunback

She was a beautiful, loving, strong, and independent woman—a devoted Mother, Grandma, and Great-Grandma—with many accomplishments and so much to be proud of. Helen was the heart of her family, our Matriarch, our Queen, whose love knew no bounds.

Her legacy lives on through her grandchildren:
Garland and Crystal Griffith, Asten and Christian Young, Trayla Griffith, Skyler Hadley, Katie Griffith, Courtney Griffith, Wade and Satin Jackson, Raven and Julana Grayson, and Chad and Makayla Goforth.

She was also blessed with many great-grandchildren who brought her endless joy:
Skyla Griffith, Tray and Drake Cooper, Kalaya Jackson, twins Kashden and Kenden Pannell, Khyzen, Torrance, Kavaya, and Kamryn Williams, Sophia and Briella Cooper, Ryker Hadley, Elias and Hazel Goforth, and Garrett Jackson.

Though we were not ready when she got her wings, we know her love will continue to guide us. Helen will be forever missed, deeply loved, and never forgotten.

Lots and lots of love for our Matriarch and Queen. You will forever be missed, but never forgotten.

The family of Helen will gather to greet family and friends on Tuesday, January 27, 2026 from 5:00 p.m.,to 7:00 p.m., at the Shipman Chapel in Wagoner.
