DAVIS FAMILY
FUNERAL HOME
DEWEY, WASHINGTON CO, OK
(permission granted)
Edna Jon Osborn, 80, longtime Bartlesville resident, passed away Sunday
in Bartlesville, OK. The energetic woman, wife, mother and grandmother
lived by the Bible and her quick witted sense of humor, and she will be
missed by all who knew her.
Edna was born the daughter of Arthur R. and Mildred Lucille (Laxton)
Johnson on June 3, 1939, at home in Burr Valley, OK. She was raised and
educated in Stonewall, OK graduating from Stonewall High School in 1957.
Edna was united in marriage with Richard Dale Osborn on May 17, 1957, in
Stonewall, and they made their first home in Ada, OK. The Osborn???s
first came to Bartlesville in 1960 with Exxon, then spent time at Ft.
Chaffee before returning to Bartlesville in 1962. They were transferred
to Hennesey, OK in 1963, then returned to Bartlesville to stay in 1967.
Edna stayed home with their children until they were in school. She
returned to working outside the home at various companies before
starting a 25-plus year career with Phillips Petroleum Co.
Edna and Richard enjoyed spending time together, coaching Bible Bowl and
going out to dinner with friends. A lifelong member of the Church of
Christ, Edna loved her church family at the Adams Boulevard Congregation
for the past 53 years. She was active in the many activities of the
church especially the Friend in Deed Christmas program, baking countless
pies and serving hot Christmas meals. Energy Days, an innovative local
program for area fifth graders, was a program Edna helped to get off the
ground and volunteered with for many years. Most recently she enjoyed
reading, keeping up with politics and watching the news to keep current.
She was the head coach from the television side for the Oklahoma Sooners
- she always knew what they should have been doing (and what they
weren't doing) to get the job done. She loved her raspberry sonic sweet
tea and sitting poolside in her backyard watching her great-grandkids
play in her pool. Her sassy attitude and opinions showed through in her
everyday interactions with family and friends. Her kind heart for
helping others and beautiful smile will be missed and forever etched in
our hearts. Many knew her as Edna, but she was our Nanny.
Edna is survived by her three children, Steven and his wife Suzan Osborn
of Sandy, Utah, Brenda Baumgartner and husband Todd of Carrollton,
Texas, and Jane Adler and husband Daniel of Bartlesville; eight
grandchildren, Savanna Courtright and Kale, Taylor Osborn, Troy Osborn,
Jessica Eckert and Brandon, Derrick Herard, Matthew Adler and Crystal,
Paige Baumgartner, and Erin Roehl and Zack; eight great grandsons, two
sisters, Authlene Scribner and Ted, and Kitty Plett and Loren and three
brothers Woody Clark, Charles Clark and Joe Johnson.
She is preceded in
death by her parents and husband of 49 years, Richard and two brothers
Arthur Dewayne Johnson and Russell Johnson.
