Oklahoma Disciples Colleagues:
We are saddened to share with you the passing of Rev. Paul M. Ragle (69), who passed away December 10, 2025 surrounded by his family in Enid. He had recently retired as pastor of Christian Church of the Covenant after health problems. A celebration of life is planned for April 2026.
Paul was a beloved pastor who served in ministry roles for 50 years. Paul was dedicated to mission efforts, local volunteerism, summer camp ministry, and enlivened the lives of many children through his puppet ministry, and enjoyed playing his guitar as well as his Native flute.
Hailing from Hudson, OH, Paul was one of 8 children. He graduated with a BA from Hiram College, received his MDiv from Brite Divinity School at Texas Christian University. Paul served churches in Ohio, Texas, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania.
Paul and his late wife Connee shared joy with his children Israel, Jordan, and Bethany, and their grandchildren: Mya, Mia, Theodore, Ainsley, Bennett, and Drew. To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of PAUL, please visit our floral store.
