Ella Bohanan

Ella Faye Bohanan, age 71, of Bethel, Oklahoma, died Friday, January 30, 2026, at her home surrounded by her loving family. She was born on Sunday, April 4, 1954, to Arvie Chester and Faye Annie Fox Taylor in Cooper, Texas.

Ella was a Christian of the Presbyterian faith whose life was rooted in love, faith, and family. She cherished time spent with those she loved most and found special joy in spoiling her grandchildren, who were truly the light of her life.

Ella enjoyed the simple pleasures that made life sweet, browsing yard sales, sharing picnics by the creek with her family, and making memories outdoors. She was also a loyal sports fan, enjoying OU football and cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs. In quieter moments, she loved listening to classic music from the 1960s and 1970s, songs that brought back fond memories and comfort.

Ella will be remembered for her gentle spirit, her love of family, and the joy she found in life's simple moments. Her warmth and kindness will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
