Mary Helen Gatzemeyer - April 20, 1947 - January 01, 2022

Departed: 01/01/2022 (Collinsville)

Obituary Preview: “How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” Winnie the Pooh

Today we say goodbye to our beloved Mary Helen Gatzemeyer. After a two and a half year battle, she entered eternity on January 1, 2022 from complications of ovarian cancer. She was born in Lyons, Nebraska on April 20, 1947 to the late Dale and Jane Bring. She was the oldest of seven children, the late John Bring, Joel (Janice) Bring, Jeff (Becky) Bring, Nancy (Lester) Kiefer, Beth (Joe) Carter, and Jerry (Michelle) Bring.

She was brought up in a strong Catholic family, and how wonderful that the first time she caught the eye of Tim Gatzemeyer was during Sunday mass! During their 55 years of marriage, they raised eight children: Debra (David) Vavra, Thomas (Petra) Gatzemeyer, Tyler (Meredith) Gatzemeyer, Sheila (Travis) Nester, Jennifer (Jonathon) Glassburn, Travis (Brandi) Gatzemeyer, Sherri (Abel) Medina, and Scott (Brook) Gatzemeyer. Through them, she received the blessing of 18 grandchildren and 2 and a half great-grandchildren: Andrew, Austin, Trey (Sarah), Adrienne, Sidney, Dylan, Cassidy, Kimberly, Kaitlyn, Nicholas, Hayden, Jackson, Amy, Olivia, London, Gavin, Aubrey, Cash, Elliot, Braxton, and little Khloe due in February.

Many people know that Mary enjoyed gardening, sewing, baking, raising and showing animals, and traveling with Tim. But few may know that she was once a nationally ranked snowmobile racer, nurse's aide, and volunteer EMT. She was an office manager for a travel agency, veterinary clinic, and a RV campground. She started a country school board, 4H club, and a Pony of the Americas (POA) club for the state of Nebraska. Oftentimes, she did all this while running the family farm and raising her children.

Her leadership overflowed into her devotion to the church as well. She was an active member of the altar society, singer in the church choir, auctioneer at fundraisers, teacher of religious classes, and manager of the religious articles department. For her parish, she also used her talents to give handmade blankets to newborns, rosaries to new brides, and prayer shawls to the sick. Mary’s family is a circle of strength and love. Each birth and every union the circle grows. Every joy shared adds more love. Every crisis faced together makes the circle stronger. #GatzemeyerStrong To view the funeral on Saturday, January 8th at 10am: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2ujr1?u=https- 3A www.facebook.com stthereseok videos &d=DWIDaQ&c=UCja3IwhyjPGYeHcG7oIbg&r=msnwev7SwTgCFUaI3ZMrH1MGudPhBsyvgtSE44JGfRc&m=NB95 44-iBSZKwtAwmcC4ktcqBnG5cHSK21LdpiGLKGgnKOEZckCpv59JY8Vhzye&s=80xIRpFscDCWNXnFSc6NOhrdBu-JjNC-UC-g9RtkM&e=1

Departed: 10/17/2021 (Collinsville)

Obituary Preview: MAGGIE NOFIRE STUDIE April 19, 1929- October 17, 2021

Maggie was born at home in Nofire Hollow to Otter and Elsie Nofire. She was the last of her siblings to pass on. She was preceded in death by her brothers, Dan, Steve, and Bud, and sisters Dora Mae, Jane, Ann, and Fannie.

Maggie was a self taught woman in many ways in life. She learned to speak the English language entirely on her own, listening to English speakers and their actions and making the connection between the two.

Her first and preferred language was Tsalagi or Cherokee. She also taught the language to many eager students over a span of many years. The Cherokee language was a continuing passion for Maggie and she felt a great sorrow for its loss among the Cherokee people.

Maggie was the widow of Andy Studie, with whom she had four sons. Wesley, Andy Lee, Bobby Lee, and Calvin Studie. Maggie and Andy made a life for their family working on ranches and farms on the far western reaches of Cherokee Nation and came to rest in Collinsville, Okla. While there they developed their favorite project of teaching the sons music while they were still in school. The boys formed a rock n roll band. Andy Senior became their manager and Maggie became a Rock n Roll Mom as they traveled from one band engagement to the next throughout eastern Oklahoma.

Maggie was also an environmental activist, taking part in the successful protest of the planned Blackfox nuclear plant near Inola Okla and subsequent demonstration in Washington DC. She breathed a sigh of relief and thanked The Creator when plans for the nuclear plant were shelved. She held a firm belief that as long as we as people were truthful, honest, and cared for others, Creator would help and take care of the rest.

Maggie was predeceased by her husband, Andy Studie, her son Calvin, her parents and siblings.

She is survived by her sons Wesley Studie (Maura Dhu), Andy Lee Studie (Karla Reynolds), Bob L. Studie and grandchildren Daniel Studie, Adam Studie, Leah Studie, Bradley Studie, Marsha Studie, Dionne Studie, Chelsea Studie and Kholan Studie and many great grandchildren.

The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to her nieces Alice McBride, Brenda Brackett Voris,  her husband Jerry and son Phil, and cousin and dearest friend Bobbie Gail Smith.

Noble James Brewer - May 24, 1935 - August 19, 2021

Departed: 08/19/2021 (Collinsville)

Obituary Preview: Noble James "Tuffy" Brewer was born the 24th of May, 1935 to Joe Harrison Brewer and Naomi Winn Brewer of Oologah. He died August 19th 2021 at the age of 86 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He is survived by his wife Bonnie Brewer of the home, his sister Joyce Light of Claremore, five sons; Alan, Mike and wife Cecilia, Tony and wife Elizabeth, Chub and wife Christy and Wade and wife Stachia and one daughter, Renee and husband Roy Ramsey all of Oologah.

Tuffy married the love of his life, Bonnie Burke of Harper, Kansas, on the 5th of November, 1959 in Nowata, Oklahoma. They were just a couple of months shy of their 62nd wedding anniversary when he passed. When he was young, Tuffy worked for his father at Brewer Oil Company. When he met Bonnie, he was employed building the Oologah Dam, which is a job he was very proud to have been a part of. After the Dam was completed in May of 1963, Tuffy went to work at the Collinsville Rendering Plant. He was employed there for several years until he injured his back causing him to have surgery.  He finished out his years of employment working back in the local oil fields.

Tuffy loved spending time with his grandchildren, great grandchildren and his great great granddaughter. He also enjoyed elk hunting in Lake City, Colorado with his Father and several friends on a few occasions. Tuffy had one thing he loved to do more than anything else and if you ask anyone who knew him to describe him in a couple of words, there is no doubt the words "fishing legend" would sum him up. Tuffy enjoyed fishing with his long time fishing partner Jack Jolley and with his son Wade. They could be found fishing on the boat or in the bottoms often. His greatest catch was an 86 pound flathead that he hooked down the river from Kaw Lake in Kaw City.

Tuffy was preceded in death by his parents Joe and Naomi Brewer, brother Doyle Brewer, sisters Jewel Starr, Erma Jean Watkins, Dakey Blakely and Aileen Coon and two great granddaughters, Ariana Rose Cates and Stella Rose Welch.

Tuffy will troll to his final place of rest at the Brewer Family Cemetery under the tree he loved following the service and luncheon. He will be missed by all except the fish because they'll be praying none of his grandkids grow up to be as good a fisherman as he was.

Hazel Ruth Brewer - July 11, 1936 - July 20, 2021

Departed: 07/20/2021 (Collinsville)

Obituary Preview: What a life she lived…

Hazel Ruth Brewer, 85, died peacefully at home in Oologah with family by her side July 20, 2021.

Hazel was born July 11, 1936, in Westville, OK to James Mack Golden and Rosie Bell Golden.  She was one of six children and remained close to her siblings throughout her life.

At the age of 20, Hazel met and married Doyle “Dub” Brewer.    The two of them were married for nearly 55 years prior to his passing in 2010. They spent their years together in Oologah, Oklahoma where they raised their four children and built their family home. While raising her kids and taking care of Dub, she spent over 20 years working for Murphy’s Safety Switch in Tulsa. Hazel eventually left Murphy’s to help Dub manage their business, Brewer Oil.

With the arrival of her grandchildren, Hazel became known as “Granny”.  Granny’s house was full of  family and friends at any given time.   Hazel loved to cook and bake.  She considered everyone a  friend,  they were all invited into her home, and never left hungry!  If you knew Hazel, you also knew there was no pie better than hers.   She put a lot of love and many hours into baking pies, and they are legendary.

Hazel’s kids and grandkids were always her priority, but she did contribute her time to others.  She was a member and President of the Ladies Auxiliary Club at The American Legion Post #141 in Claremore, OK. For many years she was also a member of the Elks Lodge also in Claremore. Hazel met many of her lifelong friends at these social clubs. Anyone who knows her can tell you how much she loved to dance!  Her energy was endless and she would dance until the band stopped playing. Not many people could keep up with her. As Casinos began to open in Claremore, you were more likely to find Hazel at a slot machine than on the dance floor. She loved going to “play”. Nobody really knows how much she actually spent to “win’” but winning or losing, she was having a blast.

Over the years she faced a lot of pain. Losing her youngest son, Tracy, when he was just 23 years old, was devastating for her. She also fought a battle with breast cancer. Hazel was a survivor though, and never lost her love for life or her amazing sense of humor. She was always more concerned with the happiness of others than her own. There was never a day where she put herself ahead of anyone else and that will always  be remembered by all who were  loved by her.

Thank you Granny for the memories you have left us with. You will never be forgotten and we know that you will never stop watching over all of us.

Hazel was preceded in death by: Her Husband, Doyle Brewer; Son, Tracy  Brewer; Brother, Delbert Golden; Brother J.D. Golden; Sister Bonnie Ewton and Sister Barbara Winn.

Hazel is survived by: Her Brother, Billy  Golden of Claremore; Son, Rick Brewer  of Grove; Son Joey Brewer of Oologan; Daughter, Janice Brewer-Booren of Denver; Four Granddaughters and Six Great-Grandchildren.
