March 28, 1956 - January 22, 2021
Kelly Waldon Springer was born on March 28, 1956, and died on January 22, 2021, after a short illness.
Born to Jack Dean and Mary Jean (Slack) Springer, Kelly spent his childhood on the family farm east of Carmen, Oklahoma. Kelly started his life of hard work at a young age, dedicating his earliest years to making mischief for his older siblings, Vicky, Kirk and Janet. Kelly was born into a family that valued loyalty, unconditional love and a good off-color joke.
He graduated from Carmen-Dacoma High School in 1974 and Alva Vocational Technical School with training in auto mechanics.
The work Kelly most treasured was the farm and cattle, but he also proudly worked various jobs in the oil fields of Oklahoma, for the City of Okeene, United States Gypsum, and Brickman Fast Line, from which he recently retired.
Kelly had the best night of his life on New Year's Eve 1999, when he married the love of his life, Cindy. Kelly and Cindy built a life filled with unwavering love, family, laughter and donkeys. Most recently they renovated the old Carmen farmhouse and began a new chapter of their life together living on the farm, a long-awaited dream. With his best buddy dogs, Bella and Porter; his love, Cindy; and his kids, Jason, Melissa and Scott, Kelly was enjoying the greatest and most contented years of his life.
Kelly is survived by his wife, Cindy, of the family farm; daughter Melissa Smith and fiancé Jeff Reynolds of Alexandria, Virginia; son Scott Collier, fiancée Kirsten Delozier and son Criss of Edmond; son Jason Smith and wife Deborah of Virginia Beach, Virginia; sisters Vicky Olson and family of Broken Arrow and Janet Sheik and family of Carmen; brother Kirk Springer and family of Sayre; and many loving nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Service for Kelly will be held at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, January 27, 2021, at the Alfalfa County Fairground Exhibit Building, 602 W. 5th Street, Cherokee, Oklahoma. A private family burial will follow at the Carmen Public Cemetery.
Out of deference to Kelly's wishes, masks are mandatory. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made through the funeral home to St. Jude's Children's Hospital or the animal shelter of your choice. Online condolences may be made to http://www.lanmanfuneralhome.com.
