Kendra Tartsah

With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Kendra Tartsah Cache whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. Kendra left this world on April 30, 2025 at the age of 56 leaving a void in the lives of so many people.
The past 30 years Kendra lived and worked in Oklahoma City as a hairdresser. And later became an master instructor/teacher at the Oklahoma City Community College teaching students various beauty techniques; a job that she truly loved. Kendra enjoyed life and had an adventurous spirit and traveled to Europe to join the "Camino de Santiago." It was there that she completed a walk of 500 miles and met various people from all over the world. In the past 3 years of Kendra life she left her job to move to Cache to become a caregiver of her aging father. During that timeframe she began to become ill and couldn't continue to care for her father. She moved to Carnegie to live with her aunt Lahoma and uncle Darin so they could care for Kendra and her father.
Her father, Frank Tartsah married the late Gwendolyn Odem Tartsah for 45 years and from that union they had Kendra and their son, Rodney.
Kendra leaves behind her beloved family, friends, nieces, nephews and cousins: ReAhna and husband Bryan Kowena and children, Kaley and husband, Cale Ware, Kelsey Tartsah and David Dwyer and Rylon Tartsah.
