Kelly L. Flindt, 54, of Owasso went to her heavenly home on March 27, 2014. She was born in Oklahoma City, OK on July 9, 1959 to Jim and Merle Lawrence. Kelly graduated from East Central High School and received a Bachelor’s of Science from Oklahoma State University. Matt Flindt, her high school sweetheart, shared 32 wonderful years of marriage with her. She worked for Occidental Petroleum as an Engineering Assistant before finding her second love—teaching science. Haskell Middle School in Broken Arrow was her home for 17 years and awarded her Teacher of the Year. She also taught at the Owasso Seventh Grade Center where she went on to be named the Owasso Public Schools’ Teacher of the Year in 2011. She served God faithfully at Sequoyah Hills Baptist Church in Tulsa and Central Baptist Church in Owasso. Her favorite ministries were with the youth where she taught Sunday School, went to summer camp, and remained a committed servant until her death. Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007, Kelly fought valiantly while testifying to God’s provision throughout her battle.
She is survived by her husband, Matt Flindt of Owasso; children, Amber and AJ McMath of Owasso and Cory and Aundrea Flindt of Claremore; grandson, Hudson Flindt; sister, Kim Raptou of Sedona, AZ; stepfather, Wayne Hail of Tulsa; and many beloved family and friends. She was preceded in death by her mother, Merle Hail.
A celebration of her life will be held at Central Baptist Church in Owasso on April 1st at 4:00pm. Arrangements are being handled by Central Baptist Church
