Kelsie — who is a 10-time Women’s Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA) world champion — shared some “Be The Light” pink memorial caps that are available to buy in Oaklynn’s memory on Facebook. She also reposted prominent rodeo journalist Kendra Santos’ tribute, which included funeral details. Ryan also shared the posts, as well as the obituary, on Facebook.
Oaklynn’s funeral service will take place on Thursday, Feb. 26, in Dublin, Texas, with a graveside service following the next day on Friday, Feb. 27, in Cherokee, Oklahoma, per Santos’ post and the obituary shared online.
“Oaklynn packed a lot in her short time with us,” the obituary read. “Traveling the rodeo circuit all over the U.S., hitting the practice pen with mom and dad, and loving her family with all her heart.”
“She loved frogs, horses, everybody’s puppies, going to ‘yodeos,’ and hanging out with all her friends. She did not know a stranger and lit up the room the minute she made her grand entrance,” the post added.
Company Simply Equine & K9, which specializes in the overall health of horses and dogs, was among those paying tribute to Oaklynn on social media. Kelsie has been a Simply Equine team member for four years, according to the company’s website.
