Dorothy Jean Paxton

Dorothy Jean (Foran) Paxton was born April 19, 1945, in Konawa, Oklahoma to Floyd Lee and Flossie Lee Foran. She passed away on Wednesday, September 4, 2024, in Yukon, Oklahoma surrounded by family. She was 79.

Dorothy spent most of her younger years growing up in Konawa. She graduated from Vamoosa High School in 1963. 

She will always be remembered for her tasty chicken & dumplings, and her famous baked beans she would bring to family gatherings. We will never forget the love and pride she had for her flowers and raising a garden. She could grow some of the best! She also enjoyed fishing, helping Larry with wood crafts, but most of all spending time with her family.

Dorothy and Larry were married on February 14, 1991, in Stillwater, Oklahoma. They were blessed with 33 years together.

She was preceded in death by her parents; one son, Curtis Dale Stark, Jr.; and six brothers, Buddy, Albert, Sonny, Kid, Jack, and Pete.
