Charles Edgar Redeagle

Charles Edgar Redeagle was born July 21, 1936, in Muskogee, OK, to John Doane Redeagle and Annie (Wilson) Redeagle. He passed from this life on September 24, 2026, in Pawhuska, OK at the age of 90.

Charles was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather whose greatest joy was his family. In 1965, he married the love of his life, Mavis Fortney, in California, and together they built a beautiful life and raised four children. Charles was deeply proud of his Native American heritage and was a citizen of the Quapaw Nation. His heritage was an important part of his identity, and he carried that pride with him throughout his life. Charles was also a faithful parishioner of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Pawhuska, where his faith was an important part of his daily life. He lived his faith through quiet acts of kindness, compassion, and generosity, always putting the needs of his family, neighbors, and those who were sick or in need before his own. His faith was not simply something he professed, but something he demonstrated through the way he cared for and served others. Professionally, Charles retired from Phillips Petroleum in Bartlesville, where he worked in the Research and Development Department. He also served as a member of the company's Diversity Team, reflecting his commitment to working alongside and supporting others. Charles faced life with a deep trust in God and ultimately surrendered to His will, comforted by the promise of the resurrection. He leaves behind a legacy of faith, love, kindness, and devotion to his family. He is now at peace and reunited with those who went before him in God's heavenly kingdom.

He is survived by his children, Cindy McClary and husband, David, Chris Redeagle, Creighton Redeagle and wife, Karen, and Courtney Redeagle; grandchildren, Ashley Williams, Christopher McClary, Cody McClary and wife, Ali, Britton Redeagle, Braxton Redeagle and wife, Lauren, Cade Rector Redeagle, Treyton Redeagle, Chris Redeagle II and wife, Fallon, Breanna Beshear and husband, Matt, Zachary Redeagle, and Tiffanie Brown; great-grandchildren, Chandler Glendenning, Haileigh McClary, Cambrie McClary, Chloe McClary, Landon McClary, Carly Redeagle, Jennie Redeagle, Titus Redeagle, Bronson Redeagle, Lennox Redeagle, Lorelai Redeagle, Sawyer Redeagle, Maverick Redeagle, Ruth Redeagle, Jake Beshear, Marley Beshear, Allison Brown, and Hayden Brown; great-great-grandchildren, Sahmier McClary and Phoenix Williams; and many other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Mavis Redeagle; parents, Doane and Annie Redeagle; brothers, John Redeagle, George Redeagle, Enos Redeagle, and Joe Redeagle; and sisters, Mary Briggs, Grace Pittman, Ann Luellen, Josephine Dunegan, and Minnie May.
