Lelah Jo Michels, born on March 19, 1946, in Ojai, California, passed away peacefully on January 7, 2025, in Madill, Oklahoma. She was 78 years old.
Lelah was the beloved daughter of Charles Joseph and Mary Ellen Farrar, who preceded her in death. She was also preceded in death by both her loving husbands. Lelah is survived by her sister, Mary Ellen Churchill of San Francisco, California; her brother, Dan Joseph Farrar of Texas; and her three sons: Mike Pulley and wife Stacey of Tishomingo, Oklahoma; Sean Pulley of Pilot Point, Texas; and Patrick Pulley and wife Megan of Addison, Texas. She was a proud grandmother to Courtney Jo Graham and Casey Gail Pulley of Tishomingo, Oklahoma; and Charlie Pulley and Emily Pulley of Melissa, Texas.
Lelah spent much of her life as a devoted homemaker. She had a deep love for horses and gardening, passions that brought her great joy throughout her life. Her faith was an important part of who she was; she was a member of the Catholic Church.
Though born in California, Lelah later moved to Oklahoma, where she built a life filled with love for her family and the simple pleasures that brought her happiness. Her warmth and dedication to those she held dear will be remembered fondly by all who knew her.
Services to honor Lelah's life will be held at a later date. May her memory bring comfort to those who loved her.
The family kindly ask for your thoughts and prayers as they navigate thru this challenging time in their life..
Services are under the direction and care of Hartwell Funeral Home. Online condolences may be made at www.hartwellfuneralhome.com.
