Brenda Gail Montgomery

Brenda Gail Montgomery, a resident of Henryetta, passed away on Saturday, October 25, 2025, in Henryetta, Oklahoma, at the age of 68. She was born on May 28, 1957, in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, to Marion "Sonny" Allison and Betty (Casey) Allison.

Brenda was a devoted, Spirit-filled Christian whose kind heart and joyful personality brought warmth and light to everyone she met. She loved to talk and laugh, often filling a room with her bright spirit and genuine care for others. She enjoyed camping, fishing, watching and feeding birds, and spending time with her family. A gifted writer and avid reader, Brenda found joy in poetry and storytelling. Known for her wonderful cooking and competitive nature, she proudly held the family title of "Wahoo Champion." In her younger days, she was proudly crowned the "cow-tipping queen," a memory that brought laughter to many. Brenda also had a deep appreciation for classic cars and could easily identify makes and models with impressive detail.

Throughout her life, Brenda was devoted to her work and her community. Early in her career, she served as Vice President of the First Family Federal Credit Union, where she also worked in Human Resources and Marketing for seven years before continuing her career as a teller at American Exchange Bank. Her creativity and professionalism left a lasting impression-she even designed the credit union's well-known tree logo. Outside of her professional life, Brenda was a proud and longtime member of the Lions Club, where she found great joy in serving others and building lifelong friendships.

Brenda was preceded in death by her father, Marion "Sonny" Allison, and her grandparents, Minnie and Bill Casey.
