February 1, 1951 – October 2, 2024
Candy Naifeh Barnard passed away Wednesday, October 2, 2024, at Hillcrest Hospital South in Tulsa. Candy was born on February 1, 1951, in Sapulpa to Zeke and Dee Naifeh, who preceded her in death.
As most know, Candy was a hardcore Oklahoma State Cowboy sports fan, having season basketball tickets for several years and season football tickets for over 40 years. So, at the viewing from 1-6 p.m. Sunday, October 13, 2024, at McClendon-Winters Funeral Home, Candy will be in her usual OSU orange.
Candy’s celebration of life service will be held Monday, October 14, 2024, at 2 p.m. at First United Methodist Church. This will be a casual celebration and everyone who has orange should wear orange.
In lieu of flowers, please make a charitable donation to the Okmulgee First United Methodist Church Pantry. This would make Candy very happy because they feed the less fortunate here in Okmulgee.
The family requests no home visits at this time. Arrangements and cremation services have been entrusted to McClendon-Winters Funeral Home of Okmulgee. Memories, condolences, photos and videos may be shared with the family on Candy’s Tribute Page at www.mcclendon-winters. com.
