Burial will follow at Cache Creek Intertribal Cemetery, west of Apache. Angela died in March 2012. Prayer service will be at 7 p.m. today at Mt. Scott Comanche United Methodist Church. She was born July 30, 1971, in Lawton, to Verna Lee Maynahonah and Hector Otero. She was raised in the Meers area and attended school in Elgin. As a young girl, Sam enjoyed powwows and was extremely proud of her Comanche heritage. After becoming a mother, her interests shifted to being a full-time homemaker. Sam was an excellent cook, and family gatherings took the place of dancing. She spent much of her time the past few years living locally and in Oklahoma City near her mother. Her hobbies included card games, working crossword puzzles, swimming and reading. Survivors include her children: Brianna and Robert Maynahonah; her mother, Verna Maynahonah and companion Daniel LaValley; sisters: Kyletta Ray and husband Danny, Sabrina Maynahonah, Rachel Martinez, Lisa Sanabria, Crystal Rodriguez and Michelle Kopaddy; brothers: Santino Ortiz and Richard Rodriguez; aunts: Angie Carrillo, Mary Maynahonah, Hazel Tahsequah and companion Nolan, and Shellean Garcia; uncles: Richard Maynahonah, Charles Tahsequah and wife Gina, and Gary Samis; a special sister, Linda Tiddark; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and friends. Sam was preceded in death by her grandparents, Stanford and Virginia Saupitty. Sam's online guestbook may be signed and condolences sent at www.whineryhuddleston.com. Friday, August 17, 2012 Family members of a local woman found last week under a bridge in Carter County are working to piece together the last few weeks of her life. They hope someone will help them and law enforcement officials find out who put her there. On Tuesday, officials with the Carter County Sheriff's Department through the medical examiner were able to identify the remains, using a palm print and tattoos, as 40-year-old Angela Rodriguez. Her body was found under an overpass bridge near Fox, east of Duncan. Her death is being investigated as a homicide. Ever since learning of her cousin's death, Elizabeth Lindsey has been in constant communication with their large, extended family, including five sisters and two brothers, trying to gather information about their loved one. Lindsey said she and Rodriguez, who she said was known better as Angela Maynahonah or simply as "Sam," grew up together, and she desperately wants justice on behalf of Sam's two children. Sam had attended a birthday party for her teenage daughter and a funeral at the end of January, but Lindsey has been assembling a timeline that placed her cousin in Lawton as early as a month ago, when she was reportedly seen by an aunt at a local casino. Another relative reported seeing her at the Social Security Office around the same time, and Lindsey hopes their family may be able to help authorities confirm or deny some of the reports. Saturday, April 07, 2012 Carter County Sheriff Ken Grace said the remains of a woman found under a Diamond Road bridge Thursday have been identified as Angela Rodriquez. The 40-year-old woman was a Lawton resident. While the woman has been identified, Grace said criminal investigators are still attempting to piece together the circumstances of the case that was labeled a homicide late last week. Among the questions still unanswered are when the woman was killed and when the attempt was made to conceal her body under the bridge. "We don't know when she disappeared from Lawton, because no one ever reported her missing," Grace said Wednesday. Anyone with information concerning Rodriquez or the circumstances of her death is urged to call the Carter County Sheriff's Department at [580] 223-6014. |
