Patricia Ann Roque

Patricia Ann Roque, age 75, longtime resident of Clinton, passed away peacefully at her home on Friday, August 1, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She was born January 9, 1950, in El Reno, Oklahoma, to Luther and Rosabell (Wilson) Lunsford.

Patricia was raised in Calumet, Oklahoma, where she attended Calumet High School. Shortly after graduation, she moved to California for a brief time before returning to Oklahoma in 1975 to settle in the Arapaho area and raise her family.

She worked for many years as a dedicated CNA at the Clinton Methodist Nursing Home. Patricia had a deep love for serving others and found joy in helping wherever she was needed. She had a special talent for decorating weddings, a passion for sewing, and an unwavering kindness that made her a friend to everyone she met—she truly never met a stranger.

Patricia loved watching Gunsmoke and all the Madea movies, and her sense of humor and vibrant personality brought joy to all who knew her. In 1982, she married the love of her life, Joe Rogue, and they shared many wonderful years together.

She was preceded by her parents Luther and Rosabell Lunsford, her husband Joe Roque, her sons Larry Joe Pointer, Jeremy Samuel McDow, her brothers Luis Lunsford, Luther Lunsford, Thomas Lunsford, and Joe Lunsford.

She is survived by her sons Jeffery McDow of Arapaho, Kevin Neihart of Durant, her daughters Shonda K. Williams of Clinton, Tammy Neihart of San Diego, her sisters Sue Anne Lunsford of Albuquerque N.M., Susanna Mulaney of Clinton, Mandy Lunsford of Wichita, KS., her brothers Lou Allen Lunsford of Arapaho, James Lunsford of Amarillo, Mark Lunsford of Calumet. 12 grandchildren, and 17 great grandchildren

Funeral services will follow on Friday, August 8, at 1:00 p.m., also at the ERC. Officiating will be her brother Lou Allen Lunsford, along with Mercedes Macy and Mona Bearshield.
