Kathyrn “Kate” Louise Castator Creason, was born on February 4, 1941, in Bristow to Sam and Marie Castator and departed this world on November 26, 2024, at the age of 83 years old.

Kate’s faith was the foundation of her life. She and Calvin were proud members of the First Baptist Church of Beggs, where Kate remained a faithful and active member throughout her life. Her commitment to her faith and her community was unwavering.

Kate found joy in life’s simple pleasures. She loved shopping and exploring garage sales, always on the hunt for a bargain or a unique find. At home, she expressed her love through cooking and tending to her household. Her garden was her sanctuary, where she found peace and purpose in nurturing life.

Kate is preceded in death by her parents Sam and Marie, husband Calvin Creason, son Sammy Glen Creason, brother Sam Castator and sister Billie June Meyer, father and mother-in-law Vernard and Alma Creason, and brother-in-law Glen Creason.

and wife Stephanie, Paton Callahan and wife Ashleigh, Koby Creason, Chad Creason and wife Jordan, Cooper Rouk, Hailey Holbrook and husband Christain, and Kelcey Creason;14 great grandchildren, brother-in-law, Wayne Creason and wife Clois; sister-in-laws, Dorothy Creason and Janie Castator; along with a host of nieces, nephews, and friends.

Kathryn will be lovingly remembered as a devoted wife, mother, and friend, as well as a cornerstone of her community.

Visitation was held from 1-6 p.m. Monday, December 2, 2024 at McClendon-Winters Funeral Home Chapel of Beggs. Funeral services were held at 11 a.m. Tuesday at First Baptist Church of Beggs, with Pastor Chris Gore officiating. Interment followed at Duck Creek Cemetery. Casket bearers were Koby Creason, Chad Creason, Paton Callahan, Brice Callahan, Drew Morris, Cooper Rouk, and Dallas Collins. Honorary Casket bearers were Lincoln Creason, Luke Morris, Levi Morris, Lane Morris Calvin Callahan and Coy Callahan.

Arrangements and cremation services have been entrusted to Mc-Clendon-Winters Funeral Home of Beggs. Memories, condolences, photos and videos may be shared with the family on Kathyrn’s Tribute Page at www.mcclendon- winters.com.
