James Hutchison was born July 31, 1957 to Melvin and Bess Hutchison in Enid, Oklahoma and passed from life on March 1, 2026.

Growing up, James had a very tight knit group of friends and they remained so until his death. He graduated from Enid High School in 1975 and attended Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford where he majored in Psychology. Upon graduating from college he moved back to Enid and began working at the Enid State School, where he met the love of his life, Sherry Hunter. They were married November 26, 1983 and lived life together until his passing.

James had two children, Chris and Paige, and his life revolved around them from their birth. He coached all sports for each of them, was a constant sounding board and provided continuous guidance through each of their lives. He never missed a game, school program or any significant event. While working full time and raising his children, James received his Master’s Degree in Psychology, an achievement that brought him great pride. His career spanned several industries, all dedicated to helping others, but the bulk was spent as administrator of a psychiatric hospital.

Upon the birth of his grandchildren he decided he wanted to be called Gandy due to his love of Gandalf from Lord of the Rings. He loved his family fiercely and will continue to live on through them. James was a lifelong Bruce Springsteen fan and his favorite place to be was Key West, Florida.

James is survived by his wife of 42 years, Sherry Hutchison, children Chris (Allison) and Paige Hutchison, two grandchildren, Lydia and Paxton, his younger sister Anne Gerszewski (Francis), Sherry’s brother Allen (Andrea) and sister Patti (Mike) along with many nieces and nephews.

A celebration of life will be scheduled with family and close friends.

11 Feb 2026

Howard Hartman Haines was born in Oklahoma City on May 28, 1956, to Harry and Shirley (Snoddy) Haines. Howard’s rambunctious and carefree childhood was interrupted by the difficulties of learning to read in first grade. When his parents were told that their eldest child would never finish high school, they searched out new special education programs recently available in the early 1960s. With training, hard work, and perseverance, Howard graduated from Enid High School in 1975, then completed a BA in Sociology at Phillips University in 1980, including a semester abroad in Sweden, which incorporated travel throughout Scandinavia, western Europe, and the Soviet Union.

In 1985, Howard joined the Navy as a medical corpsman serving at the Long Beach and Pensacola Naval Bases. He was assigned to the USS Jason in 1989 and served in Operation Desert Storm, undergoing constant shelling and aiding casualties of the war. He was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, Southwest Asia Service Medal with two Bronze Stars, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, Battle “E” Ribbon, and Sea Service deployment ribbon with Bronze Star.

Throughout his time in the Navy, Howard led Bible studies that commenced lifelong friendships and a call to ministry. After the USS Jason’s homecoming in San Diego in 1991, Howard enrolled at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS. Working three jobs, he graduated with a M.Div. in 1996, mastering both Greek and Hebrew.

Howard loved to meet people and learn about their lives. He loved his family and the Lord, and was filled with curiosity about everything, enjoying the many cultures he encountered around the world.

Howard is survived by a brother, Harvey Haines (Cindy) of Vienna, VA, a sister, Holly Haines of Amarillo; three nieces: Heather Haines (Peter Wang), Melanie Chainsman (Cory), and Sally Koch (Paul); and his beloved rescue cat Pebbles.

A memorial service will be held at First Presbyterian Church of Amarillo on Monday, February 23 at 11:00am.

Jan Rojene (Sturgeon) Inman, 68, beloved mother, sister, and friend of Edmond, Oklahoma, passed away surrounded by her children on October 15, 2025. She was born on May 24, 1957, in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, to Robert Gerald and Jennie Lea (Munkres) Sturgeon. Jan spent much of her childhood in Enid, Oklahoma, where she attended Enid Public Schools and graduated from Enid High School in 1975. During her school years, she was active in the band and proudly served as a twirler.
Jan married in March 1978 and became a proud mother to her son, Robin, in 1980. She later remarried and, in 1986, welcomed her daughter, London, completing her family.

Jan worked as a legal assistant, starting at Andrews Davis Law Firm, where she built a strong foundation in her field and developed many lasting friendships. Over the years, she became known for her reliability, attention to detail, and quiet determination. She later continued her career at Ed White Law, where she worked until her retirement.

At her core, Jan was a nurturer. She loved her family deeply and showed it in the best way she knew how—through love, laughter, and thoughtfulness. She gave the most thoughtful gifts, always finding something that made you feel seen and known.

When life got overwhelming, Jan’s way of saying she had had “enough” was to slip away for a bit—a small reset before she came back with her usual warmth and dry wit. Her favorite phrase, “Onward through the fog,” summed her up perfectly: no matter what came her way, she kept moving forward with resilience and grace.
Jan loved music, nature, and time outdoors, but her happiest moments were always with her family—on trips, at the lake, or celebrating holidays together. She loved decorating for every season, but Halloween and Christmas were her favorites; her home became a full celebration, filled with color, sparkle, and joy.
One of her greatest joys in life was being “Grammy” to her grandson, Bowie. She spent countless hours playing on the floor, baking cookies, crafting, and cheering him on at his games and school events.

She is survived by her two children, Robin Moulton and spouse Deann Moulton of Moore, Oklahoma, and London Bridge and spouse Benny Bilodeau of Edmond, Oklahoma; and her beloved grandson, Bowie of Edmond, Oklahoma. She is also survived by her sisters, Linda Little and husband Ken Little, and Rita Boldes and husband Mike Boldes; and her nieces and nephews Shaun Little, Chrissy Mathews, Robert and Richard Boldes, and their families.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert Gerald Sturgeon and Jennie Lea (Munkres) Sturgeon; her nephews, Phillip Burchette and Dustin Little; and several other loved ones who welcomed her home.

A celebration of life will be held on Thursday, October 23rd, 2025, at 10 a.m. at Life Church Midwest City 6809 E Reno Ave, Midwest City, OK 73110. A graveside service and burial will follow at 2:00 p.m. at Ames Cemetery in Ames, Oklahoma, where Jan will be laid to rest. Friends and family are welcome to attend, though the family understands that travel may not be possible for everyone.

Her warmth, humor, and love will be missed every day, but the memories she created will stay with us forever.
