Terri Lavone Welbourne

Terri Lavone Welbourne, age 57, of Weatherford, was born February 2, 1968, in Clinton, Oklahoma, to Thurman and Georgiann (Prairiechief) Welbourne. She passed away on Thursday, September 11, 2025, just days after her son Blake, and together they will be remembered in a joint service.

Terri was raised in Weatherford and graduated from Weatherford High School in 1986. She lived in Weatherford all her life and was a dedicated Licensed Practical Nurse who cared deeply for those she served. She was a proud member of the Native American Church.

Terri’s personality lit up every room she entered. Known for her humor and playful spirit, she had a gift for making people laugh, often giving family and friends unique nicknames that stuck for life. She loved playing hand games, spending time with her family, and embracing her self-described role as a “glamorous Diva.” Her humor, warmth, and larger-than-life personality will be deeply missed.

She was preceded in death by her father, Thurman Welbourne; her son, Blake Welbourne; paternal grandparents, Thomas K. and Elsie Welbourne; and maternal grandparents, George and Goldie Prairiechief.

Survivors include her mother, Georgiann Welbourne of Weatherford; her sister, Stacia Tai Welbourne, and Michael Teague of Oklahoma City; along with numerous cousins, aunts, uncles, and extended family who loved her dearly.
