Whitney Marie Wilson

Whitney Marie Wilson was born on March 4, 1994, at Deaconess Hospital in Oklahoma City to Kevin and Tamara Wilson. She passed away on her own terms at home on July 2, 2025, surrounded by chosen family and the beloved pets she called her “fur babies.”

Her cherished animal companions included her loyal dogs Fat Boy, the dignified older Chihuahua Maximus, and the playful little one; along with her cats Cleopatra, Ay (large and in charge), Solair (the drama queen), Sunny, and Noni. Each brought her joy and love—and they now need good, loving homes in her honor, if anyone is interested. She would want that.

Whitney’s life was cut tragically short by a rare and aggressive cancer. But her story was so much more than her illness. She faced many hardships—an abusive childhood, trauma, mental health struggles, poverty—and yet somehow emerged with fierce independence, deep empathy, and a heart full of love.

She was strong-willed, headstrong, and determined. She was also one of the sweetest, most compassionate people you could ever meet—unless, of course, you crossed her (in which case, good luck!). Whitney was the kind of person who would rescue anything or anyone who needed help.

She graduated from Owasso High School and had a passion for art, gardening, cooking, and prepping. She loved spending time with friends, her family (some of the time), and most of all, her animals.

Whitney is survived by nearly all of her family. She was preceded in death by her Nana and Papa Parsons, Michael Mullins, John W. Tedford, and John B. and Shirley Tedford.

Per Whitney’s wishes, friends and family are invited to gather at 10:00 a.m. on July 5, 2026, at the home of Jeff and Sandy Mullins for a tree planting in her honor, followed by lunch.

In lieu of flowers, Whitney asked that donations be made to a local animal shelter in her name. She would have loved that.

Some of her favorite memories include summers at Lake Eufaula with Nana and Papa, winning first place in a school art contest, traveling to Mexico with her adopted family, and visiting Navy Pier in Chicago.

Whitney’s life was not easy—but it was full of meaning, love, and the kind of spirit you never forget.
