Barbara Reynolds

On June 21, 2026, Barbara Ann Reynolds, 62, of Clinton, Oklahoma, began her journey to the Spirit World from her home. Barbara was born on May 14, 1964, in Clinton, Oklahoma, to Roger Reynolds and Janice Lou Prairie Chief Oldcrow.

Barbara was a proud full-blood Cheyenne woman whose identity, strength, and love for her people remained with her throughout her life. Barbara's traditional Cheyenne name was Ma'evotona'e. She graduated from Riverside Indian School in Anadarko, Oklahoma, in 1985. Barbara carried herself with pride in who she was and where she came from, honoring the teachings and values passed down to her by her family and ancestors.

Barbara's greatest joy in life was her family. She was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Her home was always open, and there was always room at her table. She loved cooking fry bread and preparing meals for her children and grandchildren. Some of the best memories shared by her family were made in her kitchen, where laughter, stories, and love were always plentiful.

Barbara enjoyed traveling, taking cruises, and visiting family whenever she had the opportunity. She believed that time spent with loved ones was time well spent and cherished every visit, gathering, and family celebration.

Anyone who knew Barbara knew she loved sports. She faithfully cheered for the Oklahoma City Thunder, especially her favorite player, J-Will. She was also a devoted fan of the Oklahoma Sooners, Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, and Minnesota Vikings. Whether watching a game at home or talking about sports with family and friends, Barbara always had a team to root for.

Music filled Barbara's life and brought her happiness. She loved the sounds of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s and could often be found listening to the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, and Tom Petty. She also had a special appreciation for Lil Wayne, whose music she enjoyed throughout the years.

Before entering the workforce, Barbara devoted herself to raising her children. She later worked at a nursing home and bakery while living in Kentucky before returning home to Oklahoma. After moving back to Clinton, she worked at Lucky Star Casino as a technician, later worked in the fabric department at Walmart in Elk City, and eventually returned to Lucky Star Casino, where she worked in surveillance and later in maintenance. She took pride in her work and was respected by those who worked alongside her.

Barbara leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, strength, and generosity. She taught her family the importance of staying connected, caring for one another, and never forgetting where they came from.

She is survived by her sons, Charles Fletcher and Michael Twins Jr.; her daughters, Shaelynn Reynolds, Cedrick Bighorse, Wanda Twins, and Terry Stomps; her brothers, Toby Standingbird and Sheldon Reynolds Sr. and wife Jackie; her sister, Angeline Lime and husband Gary; her grandchildren, Dhaeyonna, Gracie, Tayevion, Drake, Cade, Jace, Cambria, Paisley Ann, and Kayleigh Fletcher; her great-grandchildren, Analise and Xamara; the father of her children, Michael Twins Sr.; her great-aunt, Viola Hines; her aunt, Kim Lonebear; her uncle, Eugene Bearhead Jr.; her special friend, Oliver Whitecrow; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives, and friends.

Barbara was welcomed home by her parents, Roger Reynolds and Janice Lou Prairie Chief Oldcrow; her brothers, Alvin Reynolds and Tony Reynolds; and her sister, JoAnn Reynolds.
