Neacha Marie Boelte

Neacha Marie Boelte passed from this life on October 19, 2022 in Oklahoma City at age 72 with family by her side. Born Nov 24, 1949 in Grand Coulee, Washington to Jim Leon Vaughan and Francis Lee (Burcham) Vaughan. She was born second of 4 sisters, Pamela, Jodie, and Jimmie Kaye. Her father was a construction worker on several large projects like the Hoover Damn, LA freeway, and many other projects. This required them to move to cities in California, Texas, Tipton, OK, and finally to Lone Wolf where she graduated high school. She was married June 18th 1968 to Larry Marvin Boelte. She was an Army wife until Larry returned from Vietnam in 1969. They setup home in Lone Wolf and then moved to the Boelte family homestead in 1971. They raised 2 boys Troy and Jason. They lived there until they moved back into town in a few years ago (Uptown as she used to call it). She had many talents, including cutting her own hair starting at age 7, and continued to develop her skill eventually cutting the hair of her family and trusting husband (her boys were not so thrilled). She also had many hobbies, one of which she took into a professional porcelain doll and figurine business. That including pouring, firing, painting, and sewing clothes for each of the dolls, and painting the figurines. One of her first shows, she won best of show with her nativity scenes. She also went into business with her best friend Mildred. They traveled all over the state (and adjacent states) teaching others how to make their own personalized porcelain dolls. She balanced all of this while raising 2 sons and keeping her husband fed and happy through many harvests. She operated all of the farm equipment including the combine, cotton stripper, and tractors (everything except the semitruck and trailer). She also helped through multiple home remodels (8 in total), with the last being when she singlehandedly tore out a wall to combine 2 bedrooms into 1 (knowing that her adoring husband would finish it). In her retirement she took up painting as a hobby, and strived for perfection through each subsequent painting. During the last year before her death, her health began to fail her, and she put down her paintbrush for a period of time, hoping that she would be able to pick it up once again after her health improved. She is survived by her loving husband Larry of the home, son Jason Boelte and wife Desiree, and sister Jimmie Kay Wilson. Neacha leaves a legacy of three grandchildren, Remington, Max and Miki Boelte and two great grandchildren, Dani and Oakley Boelte. She is also survived by nieces, nephews and a host of other relatives and friends. Neacha was preceded in death by her parents, Jim and Frances Vaughan, son Troy Boelte, sisters Pamela Look and Jodie Sitton, father and mother-in-law, Herman and Melba Boelte, brother in laws Duane Boelte, Jarold Boelte and Jesse Look.
