Jeanne Elizabeth Parker Holt was born July 20, 1941 in Tampa, Florida, and passed away on March 23, 2026 In Kingfisher, Oklahoma. She was born to George Parker and Julia Hall Parker.

On August 9, 1970 Jeanne married the love of her life, George Holt in Savannah, Georgia. When the two married, Jeanne not only found a husband, but the perfect bonus dad to her four children, Shirlene, Kandy, Kenny, and Peg. After their union, the family lived in various places in Georgia. In October 1974 the family made the big move to Oklahoma and settled in Dover. In 1989 the two made the move to Kingfisher.

Jeanne was known around town by many names: Momma, Momma Red, Momma Jean, Grandma, and GG. She never knew a stranger and considered everyone as family. She loved hosting family events/gatherings where anyone and everyone was welcome.

Not only did Jeanne love people, she loved serving others. She spent many years as a waitress at Terry’s Mexican Restaurant in Kingfisher. She volunteered at the American Red Cross. Later in life she served the littlest members of the community with an in-home daycare.
After she and George retired, the two enjoyed time at the lake, camping, their countless trips to Wal-Mart (everyone knew them by name), and sitting on the front porch drinking coffee.

Jeanne was known for her beautiful yard and her love of flowers. People often went to her for flower advice, what to plant and when and where to plant them. She also loved her Coca-Cola. It was not often that she was seen without a can of Coca-Cola or a cup of coffee (a little bit of coffee with a lot of creamer and a lot of sugar…also known as foo-foo coffee). Once she discovered Amazon she quickly became addicted.

Even to the end, George and Jeanne had a special love story. They loved and adored each other. They could always be seen holding hands. In their younger days they loved dancing in the living room. George always walked ahead of her so that he could open her door.

Jeanne leaves behind an incredible legacy of love. She is survived by her husband of 55 years, George Holt, her children: Shirlene Harrell and Kandy Cochran, both of Kingfisher and Kenny (Trecia) Harrell of Mustang. In total she had 18 grandchildren, 44 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great grandchild.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her siblings: George Jr., Dewitt, Billy, Betty Ann, and Bobbie Jo, and her precious daughter Peg, beloved niece Susan Holt, and great grandsons Kaden and Jace.

A Celebration of Life for Jeanne is scheduled for Monday, March 30, 2026 at 11:00 am at Frontline Ministries under the direction of Wilson Funeral Home.

Barbara was born on September 21, 1942, in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma to Rev. V.A. “Pete” Jones and Bessie Jones. She was raised in Duncan, where her father faithfully served as pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church until his passing in 1959. At a young age, Barbara began playing the organ in her father’s church, a calling that became one of the greatest joys of her life and a lifelong expression of her faith.
She graduated from Duncan High School in 1960 and soon after moved with her mother to Elk City. There she began working as a hairdresser for Lou Alldredge. It was during this time that she met the love of her life, Robert Alldredge, who had returned home after attending pharmacy school at Southwestern Oklahoma State University. They were married in 1961, beginning a devoted partnership built on faith, hard work, and love that lasted for 52 years.
Following Robert’s graduation, the couple moved to Kingfisher in 1964. From their union came three children: David, Alisa, and Stacy, who were the pride and joy of Barbara’s life. Together, Barbara and Robert owned and operated Palace Drug before later opening Robert’s Jewelry.

Music was her passion- whether it was playing at church or for weddings and funerals; she played for the First Baptist Church for 40 years and the Catholic Church for 10 years. Beyond music, Barbara enjoyed playing games of all kinds, especially bridge, and treasured the fellowship and laughter shared around the table.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband, Robert; her son-in-law, Phil Gillard; her sister, Carolyn Booze; and her nephew, Mike Booze.

DAY OF KINDNESS EXTENDED- because Kindness shouldn't be limited to one day!!

The Wilson Funeral Home family delivered donuts to the staff of Homestead of Kingfisher, Cimarron Nursing Center, and First Shamrock Care Center to thank them for the important care they provide for our friends, neighbors and people we love! Their jobs can require long hours and sometimes must feel like no one sees everything they do.

Jimmy Carter proves that becoming president isn’t the most impactful thing you can do. In fact, he did his best work long after his presidency was over. A Nobel Peace Prize winner and committed humanitarian, he became much beloved for his dedication to peace, conflict resolution, and a better America. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends as they grieve his passing. Thank you, Mr. Carter, for your great service to our nation!

Staying active is important as we age, and playing sports can be a fun way to keep moving. If you’re looking for a new sport or activity to try that’s senior-friendly, here are 10 ideas for you to consider!

Aging shouldn’t stop you from exercising, but rather encourage it! Participating in physical activities is just as important as maintaining a healthy diet, especially when you’re older. According to research, physical activity helps reduce the risk of several diseases, including stroke, diabetes...

Whether you realize it or not, there’s a weight sitting on your loved one’s shoulders. They might not even realize it’s there. What is it? The weight of not knowing your funeral wishes.

If you were to die today, would they know what to do? Would they be able to confidently make decisions about how to honor your life? If you aren’t sure, they probably feel the same. But there’s a solution – preplanning!

By sitting down with us for as little as 60 minutes, we can record your wishes and keep them on file, so your family knows what you want. With that done, you can walk out the door and enjoy your life, knowing that everything has been taken care of.

After a loss, one thing a grieving person needs is the support of people who care and go the extra mile. That’s why you need to take the initiative and go after them.

No matter how sincere your offer, a grieving person is unlikely to call you for help, even if they need it. Instead, you should call them! Ask them about doing lunch, picking up groceries, or stopping by to mow the lawn.

At first, they may be a little reluctant (not wanting to inconvenience you) but continue to be intentional about offering your love and support.

08/04/2023

At some services, the attendees are invited to take a token in remembrance of the one who has died. This action allows each mourner to feel strongly associated with the one they have lost. By giving a tribute video as a keepsake, you provide an opportunity for them to continue to explore their feelings of loss and relive their cherished memories even after the funeral.

To learn more about tribute videos, give us a call at (405) 458-1177 or visit www.WilsonCares.com.

Graceful. Steadfast. Courageous. Queen Elizabeth II was a symbol of strength, duty, and tranquility during her reign, and we are saddened by the news of her passing. As the longest-reigning monarch in the history of England, she cared for her people and was loved by many. Our thoughts are with those in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and all other Commonwealth realms. Let us remember the good she did throughout her marveled history and the positivity she brought to the world.
