Cleo Caudle, longtime resident of Sulphur, was born on August 30, 1943, in Ventura, California to Cleo Mae (Welch) Boan and Loran Boan. She passed away peacefully in Oklahoma City on Sunday, May 17, 2026, at the age of 82.
Cleo spent her childhood growing up in Wyoming and California. At the age of 22, she met Frank — lovingly known as her “favorite pain in the butt” — and just three days later, the two decided to get married, beginning a lifelong adventure together. Six years later, Frank and Cleo, along with Terry and Tanya, made their home in Oklahoma.
Cleo was no stranger to hard work. In the early years of their marriage, she worked side by side with Frank hauling hay during the summers. She later worked as a secretary for Sulphur Public Schools for 30 years, where she touched many lives with her kindness and dedication. After retirement, she continued serving others as a real estate agent.
