Sharon DeAnn Skeeter

Sharon DeAnn Skeeter, 63, of Tulsa, OK, passed from this life on Friday, March 3, 2023, at St. John's hospital in Tulsa, OK.

Sharon was born to Eleanar (Brown) Powell and Andrew Skeeter in Claremore, OK.

She grew up in Sapulpa and then moved to Howe, Oklahoma during her teenage years before making her permanent residence in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She attended Howe High School where she was in the band and a great clarinet player.  After graduating from high school, Sharon attended Eastern Oklahoma State College in Wilburton and Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, earning a bachelor’s degree in Sociology.

Sharon was a member of Polecat Ceremonial ground (her mom’s ground) and spent a lot of time at Duck Creek Ceremonial ground (her dad’s ground). In her youth, you could find Sharon shaking shells all night at stomp dances. In her adult years, she enjoyed being at the ground visiting with family and watching her grandchildren dance.

Sharon enjoyed baking when she could and liked all things “Snoopy”, watching sports and especially OU games. Her dog Boozer was her constant companion and kept her entertained. Her favorite pastime was spending time with family, especially her daughter and her two granddaughters.  They were the light of her life.

She was a caring and family-oriented mother, grandmother, daughter, and sister. She also enjoyed growing up having many aunts, uncles, and cousins.  Even though she had physical challenges, she was always willing to help family however she could.  She liked to joke and laugh with loved ones when she spent time with them.

Sharon is survived by her daughter, Jaimie Skeeter (Jeremy Brewer), Father Andrew Skeeter (Carmelita), Sisters Andrea (Niki) Baker, Marcy Wakeford (O”Steven), Leslie Geralds and Tina Oaks (Travis); brothers David Skeeter, Mitchell Powell, William (Bill) Osburn, David Osburn; granddaughters Makynzie (Shugs) Brewer, Maddyson (Maddy-Kat) Brewer; Aunts Melba Williams and Bettey Jones: and many other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Elenora Powell, Maternal grandparents, James (Jim) Brown, Sr. and Angeline (Yellowhead) Brown. Paternal grandparents, Jimmie and Sadie Skeeter.

Sharon will be remembered as a strong-willed Native woman who did things her way.  She was always wishing the BEST in life for those she loved.
