Bessie Ahhaitty (24126712)
Suggested edit: Bessie Ahhaitty Silverhorn born January 19, 1930 to James Silverhorn & Clara Rose Tsalote at Apache Township later known as Stecker, OK died peacefully at home Friday March 29, 2019 surrounded by all who loved her dearly . She married the late Reverend Reuben Ahhaitty Sr. in 1940 & supported his ministry for more than 50 years.
She was a proud member of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma and served on the Kiowa Business Committee in the late 1970’s & early 80’s and was one of the last Kiowa elders who spoke the language fluently. She graduated from Riverside Indian School and was active in sports playing both basketball & softball pitcher. Mom was president of her senior class and also served as president of the Riverside alumni association. Mom was the best frybread maker around with compliments from so many. She found the Lord as a young adult at Samone United Methodist Indian Church while playing on their church softball team. One of the stipulations to play on the team was to attend church which she did, not knowing that it would be her lifelong calling to serve the Lord. She served as the United Methodist Womens conference president of the Oklahoma Indian Missionary Conference and was also a member of the OIMC district choir which she was so proud of because she loved to sing. Her knowledge of the Bible was outstanding and she supported each and every church her husband was appointed to serving on numerous committees at each of these churches.
Her love for her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren & great great grandchildren was beyond measure but her love for the Lord was even greater. She would always say that she owed everything to God because he takes care of all of her needs and he loved her like no other. Her favorite saying to any of her loved ones going thru hard times was “Put everything in Gods hands, he’s going to take care of you”.
Bessie was preceded in death by her parents James & Clara Rose Silverhorn, Husband Rev Reuben Ahhaitty Sr., Brothers Arthur Silverhorn, Leonard Silverhorn, Billie Silverhorn & Robert (Bo Bo) Silverhorn, Sisters Ruth Tofpi & Rosalyn Stevens, Children James, Dewayne, Heddy Sue, Pamela Jo, Deborah Jean, Kay Lynn & Reuben Ahhaitty Jr., Grandchildren Tonya Dereth Ahhaitty & Michael Lee Mithlo Jr. and son-in-laws Eugene Tiger jr.
