Mildred Naomi Bewley Obituary (1931

Mildred Naomi Bewley, age 90, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, passed peacefully from this life to her eternal home on Monday, October 11, 2021. She was born January 1, 1931, to William Andrew and Viola Cecilia Barnett. Mildred graduated high school from Tulsa Central, located in the heart of downtown Tulsa, then went to work in the office of the Tulsa Stockyards for several years. At age 30 she married Dewey Kenneth Bewley, and raised three children. She was an active member in her community and church. Mildred's passion was her family and love for people. A hot cup of coffee and a good conversation was all she needed. She put others' needs above her own, taking employment that accommodated the school calendar to make sure her children were cared for, retiring early from LifeTouch School Photography to care for her husband, who had been diagnosed with lung cancer, and then moving her mother into her home for several years after her father passed away. Her door was always open. She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren. She enjoyed attending church and eating out. She was known for the good advice she had to give (and being right, even when you didn't want her to be right). She was loyal and honest and held Biblical values in high esteem. She was a positive person and looked for the good in each circumstance. In her later years, she was known for her sharp mind and enjoyment of the simplest of things, such as a good game of Bingo on a Friday afternoon, the cooking channel, or a baseball game, especially the World Series. She is survived by two children, Karla Ragsdale and husband Kevin of Sand Springs and Kenneth Bewley of Tulsa, OK, one son-in-law Maen Chahoud of Tulsa, Oklahoma, nine grandchildren, Dream, Angel and husband Jimmy, Tarak, Charm and husband Lee, Jared, Jacob and wife Brittiny, Katie, Clara and K.B., seven great-grandchildren, Gabriel, Emerson, Dustin, Lola, River, Everett, and Berkley, one brother, Jim Barnett and wife Janie, a number of brother and sister-in-laws, nieces, nephews and other loving relatives and close friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Andrew and Viola Barnett, husband, Dewey Kenneth Bewley, daughter, Marsha Chahoud, two brothers Richard Barnett and Aubrey Barnett, and her sister Uldine Sallee. The family wishes to thank all of those who cared for Mildred during her last days. The funeral celebrating her life will be held at South Heights Assembly of God, 1100 S.
