Kathy Jean Black

     Kathy Jean Coleman - Black was born on Edwards Air Force Base in California on December 1st, 1953. She passed away peacefully at home on September 15, 2025. She was surrounded by her loved ones and her faithful dogs. She was preceded in death by her grandmother, Lillie Belle Kellum, and her grandfather, David Kellum; her mother, Kathryn Treaster, and her father, Sunny Coleman; her sisters, Marlinda Smith and Marie Robertson; her brothers, Aubrey Ervin Irons, Gene Smith, and David Smith. She is survived by her husband Mike Black, her sister and brother-in-law Lisa and Jeff Welchel, her daughter and son-in-law Maria and Bill Cain, and her son Michael Black, as well as her grandson, Nicholas Michael Cain, and bonus granddaughter and great-grandkids, Autumn Cain and Justin, and Riley Edwards. Kathy had very close relationships with many of her nieces and nephews, Robert, Rachel, Sheresa, Julia, and Matt, Dani and Derek, Christina, Carrie and Garett, and Mandy, and John. Kathy and Mike's house was the place where everyone gathered. She not only spent time with her family but also became a second mom to so many of the young people who entered her house. Kathy had a magnetic spirit and a contagious smile! Kathy never backed down from a challenge; she met each one with fierce determination and an unshakeable spirit.
     Kathy not only loved her kids and those she claimed as her bonus babies with a whole heart, but she was deeply in love with her husband, Mike. They fell in love in high school, got married the day after graduation, and in May of 2025, celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary. Kathy and Mike had an amazing marriage and were a great example to anyone who knew them, what true love looked like. Everything she did and every word she ever spoke to anyone she loved was said out of a pure heart that was full of love. Kathy loved music, she loved to dance, she loved her hummingbirds and her flowers. Kathy loved arts and crafts, the casino, and looking good, and loved her days of our lives, but Kathy did not love anything more than her family. Kathy showed her family she loved them every day, but on holidays it was over the top! Every year for her birthday, her only request was that the family gather at her house and let the Christmas Decorations begin! Lights, Christmas Tree, Elvis Tree, Elvis Christmas music, and everything we can fit on the lawn! Every holiday was special, but Christmas was the Day for Kathy! She was famous for her Christmas Eve Party! Everyone was welcome! We will miss Kathy every day, but Christmas will definitely be the hardest for everyone who loved her. A light, a rock, and an amazing spirit have left this world, and she will be missed. We will keep Kathy's smile, kindness, fierce passion, and love for her family and life alive through the people who loved her.

The family will have a reception to follow at the Elks Lodge 8635 SE 15th, Midwest City, OK. at 4:00p.m.
