Donna Rae Loudermilk

Donna Rae Loudermilk, 76, of Dewey, joined her beloved husband, Ron, in heaven on Monday, December 9, 2024. Donna was born January 23, 1948, in Tulsa, OK, to Raymond Earnest and Virginia Lee (Cogle) Beisley. She is a 1966 graduate of Bartlesville’s College High School. Donna married the love of her life, Ron Loudermilk, on December 26, 1968, and they started their family. A loving mother, Donna made sure to stay home and devote time to her daughters when they were young. Once they started elementary school, she would return to work. Through the years, she was employed at Ray’s Thrifywise, then the gas company, later Medsource, and lastly at Popkess Pharmacy, where she worked until she retired at the age of 62. Donna loved softball and always enjoyed attending her family’s softball games. She was a huge fan and loved cheering for the OSU softball team. Ron and Donna also enjoyed traveling with their family. Ron competed and trained cutting horses. While Donna rode horses, she did not compete, but the couple had fun spending time together at the events. They were excellent swing dancers to both rock and country music. Donna loved family gatherings, especially Thanksgiving. She and her sister Rayma would spend days planning and preparing for Thanksgiving, the entire family’s favorite holiday. Donna was always a loving peacemaker and early on in their marriage, she quickly became the Loudermilk matriarch. She was a wonderful listener and did not judge, so the family would share their worries with her and help settle disputes. She was loved dearly and will be missed. Survivors include two daughters, Ronda Loudermilk, and Tonya Kelley and her husband Jay; four grandchildren, Clint Farmer, RayLee Tatum and husband Trestin, Brooklyn Cunningham, and Lyndzi Kelley; two great-grandchildren, Jaydyn and Iris; and two brothers, Rick Beisley and his wife Sona, and Rodger Beisley. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Ron Loudermilk; her parents, Raymond and Virginia Beisley; and sister, Rayma Hunter.
