James Samuel Ledgerwood

James Samuel Ledgerwood was born on March 7, 1943 and departed this life on May 31, 2023.

James was born to Henry and Ida (Wood) Ledgerwood. James has lived most of his life around the Creek/Lincoln County area. James met and married Imogene Thompson on April 23, 1962 in Okemah. He began working in the oil field at a young age. Then after retiring from the oil field he went to work for John Cassidy for over 20 years. One of James’ greatest passions in life was bowling. He also enjoyed keeping up with his grandkids. James loved to tinker with things and if it was broken he could fix it. Many times people showing up to have him fix things that were in need of repair because if he couldn’t fix it there was no one that could. James spent many years with his son-in-law, John, laughing and trying to teach him his many skills. Together, they worked side by side in the shop. James had the biggest kindest heart. He spent many hours with his daughter, Glenda, taking care of his kittens, watching fireworks and looking at Christmas lights. He loved sending little videos to his favorite daughter-in-law, Judi, even though he really didn’t know how to work his phone. He loved watching tv every morning with his son Glen trying to get the answer of the day. His caring loving spirit will be missed.
