Sue “Susie” Bearry Skinner died on January 31, 2022 surrounded by love and family in her home in Enid, Oklahoma. She was 66.

Susie was born on December 3, 1955, in Stillwater, Oklahoma. She was the youngest of six and was preceded in death by four brothers: Davie J. Bearry, Johnny L. Bearry, Kenneth D. Bearry, and Douglas G. Bearry, and her parents George David and Abbie Ellen Bearry. She is survived by her husband Troy Skinner, her daughters Amberla and Twyleen Tepe and their father, her ex-husband Joe Tepe, and her sister Vina Bearry O’Neill.

Susie was an extraordinary wife and mother. She was loved by many, and was a beacon of light and kindness wherever she went. She was kind, generous, and caring, always looking out for others and to help them get whatever they needed. Her passion was music and her guitar, as evidenced by the fact that she became a brilliant singer-songwriter. She wrote over a hundred original songs, and performed throughout Oklahoma and surrounding states. She had a wonderful sense of humor, and was a role model of strength and courage.

Douglas George Bearry died on April 30, 2019 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He was 71. His ashes will be laid to rest with his sister Susie in Stillwater.

Doug was born on November 23, 1947, in Ventura, California. He was the youngest of the Bearry brothers, who all passed before him. He was survived by his sisters Susie and Vina.

Doug was Elvis Presley’s number one fan. Visiting Elvis’s home in Graceland was one of his most treasured life highlights. He was an avid bicyclist, riding often between Perkins and Stillwater. People would recognize him and wave. He was a quiet, simple man, always willing to help out those in need. He loved playing pinball and bass guitar, and was a big movie buff.
