🎄🖤 Never Forgotten: Sheriff’s Office Honors Fallen Lawmen 🖤🎄

Each Christmas season, the Okmulgee County Sheriff’s Office pauses to remember three men who gave their lives in the line of duty while serving their communities.

This year, Deputy Stephen Lee continued the solemn tradition by placing wreaths and rendering salutes at the headstones of the county’s fallen deputies — a quiet but powerful act of remembrance to ensure their sacrifices are never forgotten.

🗞️❤️ A Conversation with James “Jim” Bledsoe ❤️🗞️ One of our favorite people!

On a chilly mid-morning at Baptist Village, James “Jim” Bledsoe welcomed us with the kind of easy humor that sets the tone for a great visit. “My dad would have said the frost was on the pumpkin,” he joked — and from there, the stories began to flow.

Jim has spent his entire life in Okmulgee, and his memories stretch across decades filled with history, neighbors, tornadoes, and the kind of community bonds that truly last.

“I’ve been here all my life,” he said — and it’s clear that Okmulgee has been good to him, and he has been good to Okmulgee.

💛🛒 Morris 6th Grader Creates ‘Care Cart’ to Support Students in Need! 🛒💛

Sometimes leadership doesn’t start with a title or committee — it starts with a caring heart. And that’s exactly what 11-year-old Jordan Pridemore did at Morris Middle School. 💕

Jordan noticed the needs around her and took action, creating the Care Cart — a hygiene-support station stocked with essentials to help fellow students feel confident and cared for. 🌟

A small idea with a huge impact. This is what community looks like. 🙌
