Lorine Vanetta (Upkey) Workman

January 9, 1941 ~ February 11, 2026

Vetta Lorene Workman, a cherished sister, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, and friend to many, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on February 11, 2026.

She was born on January 9, 1941, in Vera, Oklahoma, to Roy and Pearly Upkey.

She lived most of her life in Vera/Romona, Oklahoma until her husband passed. She moved to Bartlesville to live with her children. She loved mowing the yard, just outside. She had a deep love for Western shows, mostly the ones with John Wayne in them. She also loved crossword puzzles, but she always cheated and looked in the back for the correct answers.

She was preceded in death by her husband Jesse Workman, her parents Roy Upky and Pearl Chapman, her two brothers Bud and Bob Upky, her sister Lucille Chapman, and her two granddaughters Chyanna Cronk and Missy Gunter.

She survived with her two sisters, Geraldean Upky and Willadean Dickerson, her five sons, James Workman (Delaina), Larry Cronk (Karen), Billy Workman, Danny Oxford, and Jesse Workman (Kay), her daughter Annie Bowers (Steve), 19 grandkids, 35 great-grandkids, and 6 great-great-grandkids.
