Joan Teehee-Collins was born on Monday,
April 10th, 1939 in Tahlequah, OK, the daughter of Monroe and Kittee
(Adkisson) Teehee. She was born a twin to her brother John, and was
raised in a family with five brothers and four sisters, Lucian, Burl,
Marion, John, Sequoyah, Vera, Nadine, Shirley and Linday. She attended
school at Chilocco Indian School and graduated. The most important job
in the world to Joan was being a wonderful mother to her children,
Teresa and Eddy. She was a wonderful homemaker who excelled in her
cooking, there was no fried chicken better than hers, her chocolate cake
melted in your mouth and everything she cooked was from scratch. She
was an accomplished seamstress and made clothing, dolls, pot holders,
blankets and even a giant stuffed bunny for her Cole. She loved arts and
crafts and making things with her hands. Joan could raise vegetables
with the best of them. There was nothing better than a day fishing, then
frying up the catch of the day and enjoying with her family. Joan loved
animals of all types especially her horse and her canine companions,
making sure every member of the family had a furry friend to love. She
possessed a really big heart and a smile that would light up a room. She
was never too busy to help someone in need and would do what she could
to help her neighbors. Time spent with her family was always precious to
Joan, and she treasured every holiday and weekend with her family she
had. She was a spirited woman who never stopped trying, and encourage
her family, especially her granddaughter Cole, to keep trying no matter
what. Her health began to fail her and she passed from this life on
Tuesday, January 28th, 2020 in Tahlequah, OK. She was 80 years old and
will be greatly missed.
