Katsy Mullendore Whittenburg
1940-2017
Katsy Mullendore Whittenburg went to be with her Lord and Savior on February 21, 2017 at her home in Dallas. Katsy was born on March 7, 1940 in Tulsa, Oklahoma to Kathleen and Eugene C. Mullendore. She was proud of her cattle ranching and American Indian heritage. Her grandfather, Erd C. Mullendore made the Cherokee Strip Land Run in Oklahoma in 1893. Her great grandfather, Charlie Brown was Osage Chief Shon-kah. She was raised on the Cross Bell Ranch in Northeastern Oklahoma where she developed a love for horses, cattle, and a pet buffalo, Geronimo, that she broke to ride. She attended elementary school in a one room school house built on the ranch to educate the children of the people who lived and worked there. She later attended Gulfpark Boarding School in Gulfport, Mississippi. She attended the University of Oklahoma and The University of Texas where she was a member of the Pi Beta Phi Sorority. Katsy married John W. Mecom, Jr. in 1961. They had four children and she was a loving and dedicated mother. Her kind and giving spirit called her to serve selflessly and volunteer her time to a multitude of organizations in Houston for the next thirty years. She also served on the Osage Nation Foundation Board, the Woolaroc Museum Trustee Board, and fund raised extensively for Eldercare in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. In the summer of 1999 Katsy met the love of her life, James Andrew "Jimmie"Whittenburg III. They were married September 14, 2002 at Jimmie's Sapello Ranch in New Mexico. Together they blended their large and diverse families. They enjoyed traveling around the world and spending time at their ranches and home in Pebble Beach, California. Katsy will be forever remembered in the hearts of those who loved her. Her grace and unwavering kindness touched the lives of countless people as she was considered a friend by many. She was the epitome of a lady. She loved life and lived it well. As she neared the end, she smiled and said, "We had a pretty good ride, didn't we?" She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, James Andrew "Jimmie" Whittenburg (January 14, 1933 – December 6, 2016). She is survived by her son John W. Mecom 3 and wife Emily, daughter Katsy M. Cluck and husband Monte, daughter Mary Elizabeth M. Hahnfeld and daughter Kathleen M. Fogarty, and her twelve grandchildren Hanna Elizabeth Mecom, Merritt Jay Mecom, Lilah Ellen Mecom, Wyatt Whitfield Mecom, Kaysha Cluck Sparling, Kallie Cluck Hauschild, Monte Dean Cluck II, Madeline Elizabeth Hahnfeld, Kathleen Alexis Fogarty, Abigail Mecom Fogarty, Danny Coe Fogarty, Luke Mecom Fogarty, and her step children and great grandchildren. Private services will be held at the family ranch cemetery in Copan, Oklahoma.
