Ulker Makbule Sowle - December 16, 1947 - September 23, 2023

Departed: 09/23/2023 (Cleveland)

Obituary Preview: In fond memory of Ülker Sowle, loving mother, grandmother, and wife. —

If ever she seems lost, you can find her. If ever the world is quiet, You can hear her in the hurried whisper of the hummingbird's wings, the subtle snapping of twigs in a peaceful forest,

and the booming bark of a happy dog greeting a friend. If ever the world is dim, You can see her in the watercolor sky of the setting sun, the bright red rims on a pair of oversized eyeglasses,

and blooms of blue in a vibrant garden. If ever the world is foul, You can smell her in the ancient salt of the rolling sea, the breezy scent of fresh flowers from a nearby market,

and the unmistakable mixture of perfume and tobacco. If ever the world is callous, You can feel her in the soft stitches of a crochet blanket, the smooth surface of a clean marble countertop,

and the risen texture of an oil-painted landscape. If ever the world is bland, You can taste her in the spongy bite of a freshly foraged morel mushroom, the savory beef of stuffed bell peppers,

and the sweet syrup of flaky baklava, rolled by hand.

If ever she seems lost, you can find her.

Departed: 09/21/2023 (Cleveland)

Obituary Preview: Donald Edward Clemishire, lovingly known as Don, passed away on September 21, 2023, in Hominy, Oklahoma. Born on March 20, 1936, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he was the beloved son of Ed and Vivian Clemishire. Don grew up in Tulsa and graduated from Central High School in the Class of 1954. During his time in high school, he discovered a passion for wrestling. After graduating, he continued his education at the University of Oklahoma where he wrestled alongside Danny Hodge. On November 6, 1958, Don was united in marriage to the loved of his life Linda Sherrill Smith, in Hominy, Oklahoma.

Don's career began during his high school years when he worked alongside his grandfather in the oil fields of Osage County. He spent a brief period working on an offshore drilling rig in Louisiana before returning to Oklahoma. Then, he embarked on a self-employed journey as an oil producer and established the Don Clemishire Well Service and later Don Clemishire Oil Corporation.

While Don dedicated himself to his career and made significant strides in the industry, he also cherished his time with his family and friends. He was known for his strong sense of loyalty and supportiveness. Those close to him could always count on him for a good joke or a light-hearted moment. As a true patriarch of his family, Don took great joy in hosting every holiday gathering. He also created lasting memories by taking his whole family on a cruise and exploring beautiful destinations like Colorado and New Mexico.

Don had many fascinating hobbies and interests that brought him happiness throughout his life. He had an affinity for working cattle and raising show horses. His other passions were gardening and brush hogging. In addition to these activities, he enjoyed camping trips, hunting expeditions, perfecting his golf swing, playing tennis matches, and coaching Little League baseball teams while his boys were young. Don’s most cherished passion was the time he spent with family and friends.

In 1982, Don achieved an extraordinary accomplishment that brought him immense pride: he received the All-American Quarter Horse Congress Brood Mare Champion award. Don was also deeply dedicated to his faith and family. He was a warm and welcoming presence at his church, where he served as a longtime greeter.

Don's ornery nature endeared him to everyone he met. His firm grip and remarkable strength were often the topic of conversation among friends and family along with his ability to tear a Tulsa telephone book in half. Don possessed a zest for life that radiated through his words and actions. His infectious laughter filled every room he entered, leaving a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to have crossed paths with him. In addition to his remarkable accomplishments and vibrant personality, Don served his country honorably in the Hominy Air Force National Guard Unit.

Don leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories. He will be deeply missed by countless individuals whose lives he touched.
