Katie Ruth Langley, daughter of Claude Elmer Brown and Thursie Alice (Martin) Brown, was born on January 17, 1933 in Tahlequah, Oklahoma and departed this life on Wednesday, November 25, 2020 in Westville, Oklahoma at home surrounded by her loved ones. She was 87 years young.
“A few short years ago, God sent a little flower.
So frail, so fragile, so sweet, touched by the dew from heaven.
He didn’t take her then, he wasn’t ready.
He had things for her to do.
She grew into a fine, lovely lady, with a smile on her face and much love to give.
She married a boy across the way, who loved her so very dearly.
Their love was great, their love was strong.
They raised four strong, handsome boys and two lovely daughters.
Their love stayed strong, their love stayed true.
They taught their children to love the Lord.”
