Patricia Sturdivant Pantle

Patricia G. Pantle, 82, was born on March 4, 1943, in Paris, TN and entered eternal rest on Friday, January 16, 2026, in Tulsa, with her loving family by her bedside.

Patricia began her vibrant life in Paris, Tennessee, where she spent her first 20 years surrounded by the charming landscapes of her hometown. She graduated from E.W. Grove High School in 1961. She then moved to Tahlequah, Oklahoma, for three years. Patricia then moved to Muskogee. After her retirement, she made her home in Mannford, before returning to Muskogee where she lived until her passing. Patricia pursued a rewarding career as a medical assistant and medical billing specialist, diligently serving Dr. Robert Brownell before her well-deserved retirement. Her unwavering commitment to her profession and her compassionate nature left a lasting impact on those she cared for.

She was a devoted reader, finding joy in the pages of every Danielle Steel novel. She read every one of them. Her passion for stories was matched only by her love for her family, whom she cherished deeply. Every moment spent with her loved ones brought her happiness, and she created lasting memories with them that will be treasured forever. Patricia’s warmth and enthusiasm for life will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

Patricia is lovingly survived by her sons, Tap Pantle and wife Lisa of Muskogee, OK, and Chris F. Pantle and wife Tina of Muskogee; her grandsons, Chris F. Pantle II and wife Amanda of Muskogee, OK, Dalton Pantle and wife Jayme of Indianola, OK, and Gage Pantle also of Muskogee, OK; her great-granddaughters, Jaciee Russell of Wagoner, OK, Jaliee Russell of Muskogee, OK, Keagan Bolin of Muskogee, OK, and Sutton Pantle of Indianola, OK; great-grandson, Chris M.
