Alva Review-Courier -

Don Eldon McOsker passed away in his sleep on Friday, July 28, 2023. He left a legacy of 93 years of love. Don was born at the start of the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression in Alva, Oklahoma, April 19, 1930. He graduated from Alva High School in the spring of 1948, and in December of that year married his high school sweetheart, Leota McOsker. They were married for 61 years until Leota's death in 2009.

Don was truly blessed when he found a second love with Helen Jean Brackman. They were married in 2011 when Don was 81 and Jean 89. They celebrated their 12th anniversary this past spring.
