Joquetta Ann Redbird

Words seem to fail us when we reflect on our mother's life. We are very fortunate to be her children and what an honor to call her our mom. I feel like it would take a lifetime to write all of the beautiful memories we all share. We would like to share a few of our favorites with you all. I hope they can convey how wonderful of a mother she was.

Joquetta Ann "Tanedooah" Redbird went to her heavenly home on December 14, 2020. She was born September 24th, 1941 to Lavena Inez Tanedooah (go-go) and Bruce Haumpy. She was also a direct descendant of Satethieday.

She graduated from RIS. Soon after she met the love of her life Robert Larry Redbird Sr and they were married in Gotebo, OK in 1954 . They had 14 kids . She was a homemaker and loved to travel, cook, read, sew, arts & crafts, shop, going to church, sing with their group Redeemed. She also embraced her Native American heritage and enjoyed going to pow-wows. They took their family to numerous old fashion camp meetings and she accepted the lord in 1976.
