As a gay man, born and raised here, Vernon’s chosen family is vast. He is survived by Hayward Jones, Nekesha Jones, JaKobe Jones, Sue Davis, Fred Hilliard, Arlowe Clementine, Mason Thomas, Rey Thomas, and so many other individuals that claimed Vernon as their friend, family, and elder.&lt;br /&gt;Vernon was an active learner, even in his later years. He was always working to understand the world around him and was eternally hopeful for a better world. He was a strong advocate for marginalized peoples and was particularly committed to Queer and Black Liberation.&lt;br /&gt;Vernon was a clear Taurus. He was intelligent, dependable, logical, honest, and generous. Vernon spent most of his life focused on making his community better. He was a holder of receipts. A maker of spreadsheets. A true community historian and archivist.&lt;br /&gt;Vernon was dedicated to making people safer, both in his career in emergency management and&lt;br /&gt;his activist work in the ght against AIDS. He was not a stranger to controversy and was unrelenting in speaking his truth and the truth of the people he loved.&lt;br /&gt;In the years before his death, Vernon worked hard to ensure that the legacy of LGBTQ activism in Tulsa was properly recorded and preserved for current and future generations. His substantial archive is now housed in Oklahoma State University’s Archives. This collection will be witnessed by researchers and community members for years to come.&lt;br /&gt;Vernon was a connector. He worked hard to bring people together and was always willing to give someone support that needed it. Even in his death, he is connecting individuals over their shared love and respect for him and his life.&lt;br /&gt;Vernon fought hard for his community and the legacy of his late partner Phil Wiley. Anyone who knew Vernon was graced with stories of Phil’s life and legacy as well as their love for one another.&lt;br /&gt;In lieu of owers, we ask that you remember Vernon by learning something new, taking a stand on social issues that are important to you, and keeping his life and legacy alive through storytelling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;https://www.butler-stumpff.com/obituaries/vernon-leon-jones/ 2/4&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2/28/25, 2:45 PM Vernon Leon Jones - Butler-Stumpff &amp;amp; Dyer Funeral Home &amp;amp; Crematory&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vernon’s memorial service will take place March 1 at 11 AM at Butler-Stump &amp;amp; Dyer Funeral Home (2103 E 3rd St, Tulsa, OK 74104).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ABOUT US&lt;br /&gt;Butler-Stumpff &amp;amp; Dyer&lt;br /&gt;funeral home, crematory, cemetary&lt;br /&gt;“We will always be kind and we will never take advantage of you or your family at your saddest time” is our promise to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BUTLER-STUMPFF &amp;amp; DYER FUNERAL HOME&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUTLER-STUMPFF &amp;amp; DYER FUNERAL HOME&lt;br /&gt; 2103 E 3rd St&lt;br /&gt;Tulsa, OK 74104&lt;br /&gt; (918) 587-7000&lt;br /&gt; info@butler-stump.com&lt;br /&gt; Available 24/7&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;https://www.butler-stumpff.com/obituaries/vernon-leon-jones/ 3/4&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2/28/25, 2:45 PM Vernon Leon Jones - Butler-Stumpff &amp;amp; Dyer Funeral Home &amp;amp; Crematory&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VISIT US&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Butler-Stumpff …&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;View larger map&lt;br /&gt;Butler-Stumpff &amp;amp; Dyer Funeral Home&lt;br /&gt;Map data ©2025 Report a map error&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;© Copyright 2025 | Butler-Stump &amp;amp; Dyer Funeral Home &amp;amp; Crematory | Privacy Policy | All Rights Reserved | Blog&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;https://www.butler-stumpff.com/obituaries/vernon-leon-jones/ 4/4</text>

Some people knew her as Pat Spurgin, her family called her Tish, and some of her closest friends knew her as Trish.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Trish passed away peacefully in the afternoon at her home. She was surrounded by her devoted partner, neighbors, John and Dusty, and her closest friend, Christiane on June 27, 2021. She had been diagnosed with a bacterial lung infection, and COPD. Weakened by a lengthy illness, Trish’s body was not able to overcome these two diseases.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Trish graduated from Central High School in 1959. She briefly attended Western College for Women in Oxford, Ohio which is now part of Miami University. She then took classes at the University of Tulsa and Tulsa Community College studying accounting and Human Resources. She was an all-around bookkeeper for various businesses in and around Tulsa.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Her favorite place to work was for her stepfather at Logan Concessions. She loved the smell of fresh roasted peanuts and fresh-popped popcorn. She enjoyed gardening, bird watching, and being outdoors. As a youngster, she spent many summers at the Spurgin ranch in Osage county. She would tell stories of helping the mother pigs with their babies. She helped with the cattle drives, and getting the cattle vaccinated. She spoke very fondly of her time on the Spurgin Ranch. She always wanted to be a rancher. She had a deep respect and love for Nature. Trish really loved her dogs and cats. They were her children.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Trish was preceded in death by her parents Paul Eugene Spurgin Sr., Madeline Kime Spurgin Logan, and her brother Paul Eugene Spurgin Jr. She is survived by her beloved and cherished partner of 20 years, Carrie Fleharty.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"&gt;
&lt;div&gt;A memorial will be held on April 30, 2022, at 2 pm at Bluff Landing east of Broken Arrow at the shelter. You will need to bring a chair. This was one of the spots that she went to visit often. In lieu of flowers, you may send a memorial to Tulsa Equality Center or the Tulsa Garden Center.&lt;/div&gt;

Mike had amischievous side and hewas always playing jokes on his friends. Hewas amost unusual person, friendly, a little reserved,with not a lot to say. He and Virginia met at high school and one day Mike told me they were getting married. I was honored that he asked me to be his Best Man. Even though those firstfewmonths were challenging, going to school, working evenings and week-ends, Mike would often invite me to his and Virginia's small apartment for lunch, to share a bologna sandwich. Mike was like that, reaching out to friends and family, to meet their needs. He made the most of whatever he had,"a life well lived." I'll miss you, Mike.

                <text> Joseph (Joe) McDonald, MD, passed away on February 12, 2026 in Tulsa.  He was proceeded in death by his wife of 66 years, Nancy McDonald.  Joe and Nancy were long-time advocates for Oklahomans for Equality (OkEq) and Tulsa PFLAG, serving both organizations in many ways.  Joe and other members of All Souls Unitarian Church donated hundreds of volunteer hours in 2005-2007 in the work necessary to open the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center, the home of OkEq. OkEq proudly hosts the Nancy and Joe McDonald Rainbow Library, serving our community for more than two decades. &#13;
&#13;
Joe served in the U.S. Air Force as a physician prior to locating to Tulsa for a long career as an anesthesiologist. His other civic involvement included building houses with Habitat for Humanity and serving as a reading and math buddy in Tulsa Public Schools.&#13;

&lt;h1 class="print-name"&gt;Rex Ball&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p class="print-obituary obituary-plain-text"&gt;Rex Martin Ball was born June 14th, 1934 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the son of Ralph Martin and Sarah Mae (Kellner) Ball. Rex, an internationally known architect, urban designer, and champion of historic preservation efforts is also remembered as a beloved mentor and staunch human rights advocate, who was as intent on improving the lives around him as he was on improving society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A memorial service is set for 11 a.m. Friday at the Boston Avenue United Methodist Church. A visitation is planned from 5 to 7 p.m. at Ninde Brookside Funeral Home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rex, graduated at the age of 16 valedictorian of his class at Kemper Military School. He then attended Oklahoma State University obtaining his Bachelor's Degree in architecture. His education continued at MIT where he obtained a Master of Architecture degree. He served two terms on the University of Oklahoma's Board of Visitors for the College of Architecture (regional and city planning, landscape architecture, construction management). His artwork is in the permanent collections of his alma maters, OSU and MIT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rex was married to Margie Crowley Ball in 1960, with whom he shared many good times, many laughs, and four wonderful daughters. The couple began their married life in Oklahoma City where he began his career following in his father's footsteps at HTB, Inc. an international architecture-engineering-planning firm. They then moved to Tulsa where he founded the Tulsa branch in 1962. In 1976 Rex became a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, one of the youngest up to that time to have earned the Institute's highest honor. Marge and Rex's union ended in 1983, but they remained close friends until his death. Rex met Stephen Edwards in Oklahoma City in 1984. The same day they formed an inexplicable connection, a beautiful relationship that has endured for 26 years. Their connection was so complete that they finished each other's sentences and heard each other's thoughts. Through their bond, Rex gained a 5th wonderful daughter. Rex and Stephen have traveled the world sharing their love of architecture, interior design, and their zest for life. On the 24th day of October 2008 they were finally able to legally marry in Palm Springs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Ball has uniquely served as President of the local AIA Chapters in both Tulsa and Oklahoma City, as well as the State Council. He is a registered planner by the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP). He has served on the Board of Directors of both Tulsa and Oklahoma City Chambers of Commerce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within the U.S. Mr. Ball has involved himself directly in a number of award-winning designs which utilized the public/private partnership concept: the National Press Building in Washington, D.C. with the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation, One Bell Central in Oklahoma City, the ingenious Mid-Continent Tower in Tulsa, and the Tulsa Community College conversion of the Sinclair Building and Central High School Shops. All of these illustratively incorporate the design values of accessibility and people-orientation that are Ball's trademarks. Mr. Ball's intense interest in our Nation's urban areas found expression through personal participation on committees in Tulsa and on similar committees within the National Trust for Historic Preservation/Preservation Oklahoma, the American Consulting Engineers council, the U.S. Jaycees, The American Institute of Architects (AIA) national component and local chapters, and the Society of American Military Engineers of which he was a sustaining member. In 1994, Ball was appointed by President Clinton to serve on the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts. He had also chaired the White house Small Business Conference's Federal Procurement Task Force, in addition to being listed in Who's Who in America and Who's Who in the World. In 1994, after 37 years of professional practice, he became Chairman Emeritus of HTB, Inc. HTB has since been purchased by Dewberry Design, Inc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right up to his death, Mr. Ball was in popular demand as a speaker, panelist, and author. Consistently honored by his peers during his 12-year tenure as CEO of HTB, the firm received over 50 awards nationally and locally. His honors include the Governor's Business in the Arts Award, the Curt Schwartz Business in the Arts Award, and the Gannet Foundation's Five Who Care Humanitarian Award for long-standing commitment to economic development, education, cultural enrichment as well as efforts to help the handicapped and the needy. In November 1995, OSU singled him out for its Distinguished Alumnus Award for significant service plus personal and professional achievements. In recent years, he has focused his attention on Tulsa's magnificent collection of Art Deco buildings by chairing the 6th World Congress on Art Deco; was chair of the International Coalition of Art Deco Societies; former president of the Tulsa Historic Preservation Commission; co-founder and president of the Tulsa Art Deco Society. In addition , Rex was a founding commissioner and chairman of the Metropolitan Tulsa Transit Authority and a member and former president of Downtown Tulsa Unlimited.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rex is remembered as a devoted friend, loving husband, father and grandfather, who will be dearly missed. Rex is survived by his husband, Stephen Edwards, his daughters, Julie Kay Willingham, Linda Carol Ball, Sharon Louise Corbin and her husband, Clarence, Renee Marie Boehnen and her husband, Craig (all of the Dallas area) and Tiffany Gail Bjorlie and her husband, Jeremy of Tulsa; his grandchildren, Michael Ball, Cheyenne Corbin, Elyse Glass, Serene Corbin, Derek Corbin, Matthew Willingham, Aleigha Boehnen and Josh Corbin; his children's mother, Marge Crowley Ball; his special friends, Dwight Kealieher, Mike Tedrick, Steve Aberson and Brent Ortolani. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ralph and Sarah Mae (Kellner) Ball and his brother, Leonard Frank Ball. Rex left his body peacefully, family by his side, with Stephen holding him and singing the show tunes that Rex famously adored.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

Jack, had he awoken, would have been grateful to have spent his last moments in the same house where he once drank his morning coffee (which he took with two sugars and enough milk to nearly defeat the point), taught his baby daughters how to walk, and blasted the Grateful Dead on full volume (much to the dismay of his family).&lt;br /&gt;Jack was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, and grew up in the house in which he caused regular mischief throughout his teenage years – pranking his sisters, skateboarding in a handstand down the neighborhood’s steep hill, and, in one event, taking advantage of his parents’ absence to throw a party that resulted in dozens of cars lined down the street and only minor property damage (but which was cleaned so thoroughly and efficiently that his parents only realized after a neighbor, upset by the noise, informed them upon their return). At 40, he later married his wife Joyce in the same house – the two of them wed in his parents’ living room, clad not in tux and gown, but rather blue jeans and t-shirts, their families packed in around them.&lt;br /&gt;Jack worked as an attorney for 34 years, during which time he always positioned himself firmly on the side of the underdog, and fought to improve the circumstances of those who didn’t have much of a fighting chance. Jack’s readiness to help those in need also manifested itself in the form of spasmodic acts of generosity enacted on the behalf of random strangers: such as the time he engaged a Waffle House employee in conversation during the breakfast rush of a Christmas morning, and tipped her a one hundred dollar bill. Jack’s job as an attorney also presented itself in the familial sphere, where he would engage in lively debates with his daughters over anything and everything (and, on occasion, lost).&lt;br /&gt;Jack’s family will remember him as a man who laughed a bit too loud and spoke a bit too much. More than that, though, they will remember him as a man who tried very hard, and who loved very much.&lt;br /&gt;In lieu of flowers, please consider playing to yourself “Ripple” by the Grateful Dead, and sing along if you know the words. It was his favorite song.&lt;br /&gt;All friends and family are welcome to a celebration of Jack’s life at Murray Park, Pavilion 1 on June 15, 2024 at 11:00 A.M. We will laugh, cry, hear from some folks whom Jack admired greatly, and of course have live music. Bring your folding chairs and sit awhile. We’ll all be there to send him off with joy and love. Arrangements are under the direction of RuebelFuneralHome.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Condolences(18)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Heather &lt;/strong&gt;Jun 13th, 2024 8:17 pm # 18&lt;br /&gt;My family and I were one of those “underdogs” Jack represented, fighting for us and winning against one of the most corrupt attorneys in Little Rock. I’m forever indebted for the kindness he showed toward me and my case. This news just shook me. We need more Jack Wagoners in the world. Rest in peace, awesome soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jack Wagoner III https://ruebelfuneralhome.com/obits/preview.php?id=3388&lt;br /&gt;2 of 6 2/21/2025, 3:11 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Josh Coleman&lt;/strong&gt; Jun 13th, 2024 4:58 pm # 17&lt;br /&gt;We miss you Jack.&lt;br /&gt;“Would you hear my voice come through the music?&lt;br /&gt;Would you hold it near as it were your own?”.&lt;br /&gt;It’s been a tough few months without you here. I’ve thought about you many times along my adventures. I miss checking my phone to see enthusiastic texts or voicemails from you to keep me informed about something new and exciting going on. I kept feeling like I’d run into you at the sphere Vegas shows. I won’t be able to make it to the memorial, but you’ll live on in my memory forever. RIP Jack. Much love to you and your family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bobby Hamilton&lt;/strong&gt; May 29th, 2024 9:06 am # 16&lt;br /&gt;I knew Jack for about 47years. We grew up not far from each other though never spent a lot of time together. He was someone I wanted to be around more as we shared an enthusiasm I can only describe as a zest for life and the need for inclusiveness. I would run into Jack from time to time as my family negotiated the foster care system. He was always doing what I thought a real lawyer would want to do, representing the less powerful.&lt;br /&gt;Thank you Jack, for fighting the good fight with a gleam in your eyes and a belief that it was working. I believe it too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Susan Jones Boe&lt;/strong&gt; May 27th, 2024 9:39 am # 15&lt;br /&gt;My brothers and I grew up with the Wagoner family and witnessed first hand the wonderful mischief of Jack! We are all so sorry for your loss. May his memory and the admiration of those who knew him bring you comfort in the years to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sandy Lewis Roberts&lt;/strong&gt; May 20th, 2024 10:47 pm # 14&lt;br /&gt;I’m so sorry to hear that Jack is gone. He was smart, witty, and absolutely one if a kind. He also had a huge and generous heart that he could not always hide. He was loved very much and will be missed by so many people, including me.&lt;br /&gt;My heart goes out to Joyce and his girls who I know, without a doubt, he loved so much. My prayers are with you and your daughters, Joyce. Please know I’m there for you on any day at anytime.&lt;br /&gt;Love you so much, Sandy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jean Blume&lt;/strong&gt; May 16th, 2024 1:03 pm # 13&lt;br /&gt;Jack my heart is broken, I love you! My thoughts and prayers to Joyce, Erin and Kylie, the ones you loved the most.&lt;br /&gt;You are now part of the Ripple in Gods Heavenly Kingdom. You will be greatly missed by all you have touched here on this earth. R.I.P. and love Jack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jack Wagoner III https://ruebelfuneralhome.com/obits/preview.php?id=3388&lt;br /&gt;3 of 6 2/21/2025, 3:11 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Trey Moore&lt;/strong&gt; May 14th, 2024 1:29 pm # 12&lt;br /&gt;Jack was a good man and a good friend and he is missed by many. Love you Jack, see ya on the flip side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dave Wilson&lt;/strong&gt; May 14th, 2024 12:45 pm # 11&lt;br /&gt;Always moving to hear of your love for wife and daughters. Rest in peace, and God Bless your loved ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Candice Murphy&lt;/strong&gt; May 13th, 2024 8:36 pm # 10&lt;br /&gt;I knew several of Jack’s family members from many great years at Trinity United Methodist Church. But I met Jack through our mutual friend Sean Harrison, who invited Jack over to see him perform at our first Home Concert in Leawood a year ago. It was such a special night and Jack let me know multiple times afterwards how much he enjoyed it. Sean’s performance was awesome, the weather was perfect, and I loved seeing those good friends spending time together. I’m so sorry he left too soon. Too many of the good ones do.Love to the family, Sean, and others who will miss him. — Candy Murphy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jill B&lt;/strong&gt; May 13th, 2024 6:53 pm # 9&lt;br /&gt;Jack helped me and drove me crazy all at the same time. RIP&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Terry Barket&lt;/strong&gt; May 13th, 2024 6:13 pm # 8&lt;br /&gt;My late husband, Gary, so enjoyed “Jack time”, both professionally and leisurely.&lt;br /&gt;Recently, I became reacquainted with Jack and he helped me with a legal problem…with a good result.&lt;br /&gt;I shall miss him deeply and remember him fondly.&lt;br /&gt;I hold Joyce and the twins close in my heart and prayers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Buzz Plumley&lt;/strong&gt; May 13th, 2024 5:00 pm # 7&lt;br /&gt;Loved to hear Jack share his experience , strength and&lt;br /&gt;hope in AA meetings .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Evans family&lt;/strong&gt; May 13th, 2024 4:48 pm # 6&lt;br /&gt;Our thoughts and prayers are with your family&lt;br /&gt;Continue to rely on God and know that he hears your prayers, because he cares for you. Thinking of you all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jack Wagoner III https://ruebelfuneralhome.com/obits/preview.php?id=3388&lt;br /&gt;4 of 6 2/21/2025, 3:11 PM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Tom Kelly&lt;/strong&gt; May 13th, 2024 1:51 pm # 5&lt;br /&gt;Gone too soon. Rest in peace Jack. Love to your family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Robin Mays&lt;/strong&gt; May 13th, 2024 1:42 pm # 4&lt;br /&gt;So glad I got to spend some time with you, Jack and your girls in Charleston last year.

She was 87. A celebration of life will be held at 4 p.m. Nov. 12 at All Souls Unitarian Church, with a reception to follow. Per McDonald’s wishes, her family invites everyone attending the reception to bring homemade cookies.&lt;br /&gt;Known for her vision and tenacity, McDonald was a force for change in Tulsa for well over 50 years, embracing a variety of causes including public school integration, the arts and LGBTQ rights.&lt;br /&gt;Notably with the latter, her inuence extended throughout Oklahoma and beyond.&lt;br /&gt;McDonald and her husband, Joe, were the founders of the Tulsa chapter of Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays, the rst in Oklahoma, and she later served as president of the national PFLAG organization. It was during her tenure as president, in 1998, that the organization extended its mission to include transgender people.&lt;br /&gt;McDonald was active on a state and national level in promoting legislation that advanced LGBTQ rights. And when a proposed law threatened that advancement, she was there to ght it. That included testifying before Congress in 1996 in opposition to the federal Defense of Marriage Act.&lt;br /&gt;Toby Jenkins, former director of Oklahomans for Equality, said McDonald was a source of needed encouragement for her fellow LGBTQ rights advocates, assuring them that “incrementally, bit by bit, relationships would form and change would come.”&lt;br /&gt;“Nancy taught us to show respect and civility to everyone, even if they were hateful to you,” Jenkins said. “If they spoke that way, she believed it was just that their hearts and minds had not been opened or challenged. Eventually the change of heart would come. I will miss that most about her.”&lt;br /&gt;A Nebraska native and graduate of the University of Nebraska, McDonald moved to Tulsa with her family in 1966. She didn’t waste any time getting involved in her new community.&lt;br /&gt;As a parent of school-age children and PTA member, she joined a small group of Tulsa Public Schools parents in helping with voluntary integration, starting with Burroughs Elementary School.&lt;br /&gt;Then, in 1973, district ocials turned to McDonald to help integrate Booker T. Washington High School.&lt;br /&gt;Chairing a committee for volunteer recruitment, McDonald led the successful eort to recruit white student volunteers to attend the previously all-Black school, holding a series of meetings with students and parents.&lt;br /&gt;Her volunteering led to a full-time job with TPS, coordinating volunteers and leading the further development of the magnet school concept.&lt;br /&gt;Motivating more community volunteers to get involved in their public schools was at the heart of McDonald’s love for the Partners in Education program. She participated in a related White House Symposium and wrote the guidelines for PIE groups that were published as a book. She remained involved with PIE through the end of her life.&lt;br /&gt;McDonald was also passionate about scouting. She was a former board member and president of the Girl Scouts of Eastern Oklahoma. In that role, she helped guide the organization through the tumultuous time following the 1977 murders of three girls at summer camp.&lt;br /&gt;McDonald was recipient of a number of honors and awards. They included induction into the Tulsa Hall of Fame and the dedication of the Nancy &amp;amp; Joe McDonald Rainbow Library in her and her husband’s honor at the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center.&lt;br /&gt;McDonald’s commitment to the LGBTQ cause began in the 1980s when one of her daughters came out as a lesbian.&lt;br /&gt;The experience of supporting her daughter would shape McDonald, and later she became a mother gure to many LGBTQ people who found themselves facing alienation from friends and family.&lt;br /&gt;“We called her ‘everybody’s mother,’” Jenkins said. “She was a surrogate parent for so many whose families had rejected them or had not accepted or understood them. There are national LGBTQ leaders who came out of Oklahoma who Nancy mentored about family relationships.”&lt;br /&gt;And her motherly inuence didn’t end with the LGBTQ community, Jenkins said.&lt;br /&gt;“If anyone was marginalized, it became her cause,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;Morva McDonald, McDonald’s daughter, said her mother was “just so good at seeing every individual.”&lt;br /&gt;“At her core, she was always trying her best to help people be seen, be recognized for who they were. And that’s what allowed her to reach across so many different causes and arenas.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SEND A CARD&lt;br /&gt;Show Your Sympathy to the Family&lt;br /&gt;(https://www.stmcdonald/cardscampaign=obitucards-ctaleftside)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SEND FLOWERS&lt;br /&gt;Order Flowers for the Family&lt;br /&gt;(https://www.stmcdonald/flowercampaign=obituowers-ctaleftside)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(tel:9187436271)&lt;br /&gt;2/6/25, 3:31 PM Obituary | Nancy McDonald of Tulsa, Oklahoma | Stanleys Funeral &amp;amp; Cremation Service&lt;br /&gt;https://www.stanleysfuneralhome.com/obituary/nancy-mcdonald 2/4&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The issue for her was always helping people be seen. It was a tremendous gift.”&lt;br /&gt;For her mother, part of valuing people as individuals included helping them nd ways to participate, Morva added.&lt;br /&gt;“That’s why we’re asking people to bring homemade cookies to the reception. It was her idea. Baking was a favorite activity of Mom’s with her grandchildren.&lt;br /&gt;“Even at the end she was thinking about how everyone could share and participate.”&lt;br /&gt;McDonald’s survivors include her husband, Joe McDonald; four children, JoElyn Newcomb, Paul McDonald, Jason McDonald and Morva McDonald; eight sgrandchildren; a brother, Howard Nellor; and a sister, Sharlene Clatano.&lt;br /&gt;Memorial donations may be made to the Foundation for Tulsa Schools’ Partners in Education program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Services&lt;br /&gt;Celebration of Life&lt;br /&gt;Sunday, November 12, 2023&lt;br /&gt;4:00 PM&lt;br /&gt;All Souls Unitarian Church&lt;br /&gt;2952 S.

He graduated from Booker T. Washington High School in 1986 and New York University in 1989. He was currently employed as the AIS Manager at Union Public Schools.&#13;

In addition to his numerous Tulsa friends, Todd had long time friends scattered from New York City, to Jacksonville, Florida, to Austin, Texas and San Francisco.&#13;
Todd is survived by his husband, Jasen Texeria; his parents, Ann and Larry Harral; his maternal Grandmother, Twylah Fitzpatrick; and his beloved miniature Italian Greyhounds, Lola and Loki. Todd was preceded in death by his Father, Roy Holt.&#13;
A celebration of Todd's life is scheduled February 8th at 1:00 at All Souls Unitarian Church in Tulsa.

&lt;div class="Box-sc-ucqo0b-0 kbVUcj ObituaryText___StyledTextBase-sc-12f7zd1-0 inFMmj"&gt;CISAR -- Robert S., Jr., began his life's journey February 18, 1942 in Oklahoma City. His "fabulous" journey ended Friday, March 10, 2006, in Tulsa, OK which had been his home since the early 1970s. Robert was preceded in death by, his loving parents, Zelma and Dr. Robert S. Cisar, Sr. He is survived by: his life partner of 21 years, Kirk Holt; cousins, John and Jim McArdle and their families of Tucson and Phoenix, AZ; 3 cousins, on the west coast; and lifetime friend, Paul Thomas and his family of Oklahoma City. Robert also leaves many wonderful friends who traveled with him as he made his life's journey. During his brief illness, Robert was able to celebrate his life with those he dearly loved. After serving in the Army and a tour in Vietnam where he was a Surgical Nurse, Robert started interior home painting, then paper hanging, then home remodeling before realizing that he had a gift for interior design. Thus evolved into his and Kirk's business, Cisar-Holt, Inc. He loved his work and cherished the relationships they made with their many clients across the United States and abroad over the years. Robert will be remembered and celebrated as a man who loved life, as a humanitarian, a man of vision and integrity who deeply believed in equality. He was always supportive of his friends. He generously and willingly lent his support to many local organizations that are about helping others. It had been Robert's gift of sharing and giving back to others that endeared him to so many. In lieu of flowers Robert had requested contributions be made to Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights (TOHR). Robert was one of the founders of TOHR. Recently, the TOHR organization purchased its first building. Robert had looked forward to being a part of the team which will transform the building into a community center. Please send contributions to TOHR, Pyramid Project, P.O. Box 2687, Tulsa, OK 74101 and note Robert Cisar Memorial Fund. Service will be 4 p.m., Thursday, March 16, 2006 at All Souls Unitarian Church. Stanleys, 743-6271.&lt;/div&gt;</text>

              <text>Tina Ann Pendola&#13;
April 22, 1949 - August 4, 2016&#13;
Tina A. Pendola, 67, of Tulsa, Oklahoma died on Thursday, August 4, 2016. She was born&#13;

worked Civil Service and at the Denver VA Hospital before coming to Tulsa in 1981. She&#13;
worked at the Tulsa County Courthouse in Administrative Services for eight years, and&#13;
then as a Veterans Employment Representative for the Oklahoma Employment&#13;
Commission in the Broken Arrow office until 1995 when she had to quit due to health&#13;
issues. She continued to be an advocate for veterans issues, and helped start the first&#13;
