Cherl Lynn Downen

January 23, 1961 — June 30, 2024

Tulsa

Cherl Lynn Downen, age 63, Tulsa resident departed this life on Sunday, June 30, 2024, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Cherl was born on January 23, 1961, in Norman, Oklahoma, to parents Kenneth C. Downen and Myra Jean (Lomenick) Downen. She was known for her unwavering spirit and joy for life's simple pleasures.

Cherl was an alumnus of Pryor High School, class of 1978, and later, she achieved her bachelor’s degree in business administration from Central State University. She served diligently as a Data Entry Clerk with Oklahoma Natural Gas, bringing efficiency and warmth to the workplace.

Her zest for life led her on many road trips, exploring national parks and historical landmarks. An avid reader, Cherl's passion for sci-fi novels was only matched by her love for Star Wars. Cherl also found great joy and relaxation in piecing together jigsaw puzzles.

Cherl will be lovingly remembered by her son, James Reza of Broken Arrow, and her brother, Steven Downen of Inola. She was preceded in death by her parents, Kenneth C. and Myra Jean Downen.

Cherl will be deeply missed, but her memory will continue to inspire those who knew her.
