Caroline E. Trickett

Caroline Earl Trickett, 87, of Tulsa, passed away peacefully on April 19, 2025. Caroline was a woman of many talents and quiet strength. Throughout her life, she balanced time spent working as a nurse and volunteering for political campaigns, with her most cherished role—creating a warm and loving home for her family. She had a practical nature, and a spirit that embraced both care and creativity. A lifelong lover of books, Caroline especially enjoyed romance and historical novels. She had a sharp mind and a love for games, often found playing solitaire, bridge, or challenging family and friends to Scrabble. She found joy in working outdoors, tending to her garden, bird watching, and putting together puzzles. In her spare time, she also enjoyed doing macramé, quilting and needlepoint, and had a natural ability to fix just about anything. Caroline will be remembered for her wit, her kindness, and her love for the simple pleasures that made each day meaningful. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

The family will hold a private graveside service at Graham Memorial Cemetery. To leave her family a message, please visit her Tribute Wall at www.shipmansfuneralhome.com. Arrangements are under the direction of Shipman’s Funeral & Cremation Service.
