Jeane Maria Platt

Jeane Maria Platt, 76, of Luther, passed away July 13, 2024 in Luther, Oklahoma. She was born March 12, 1948 in Paris, Arkansas to James Henry Shelton and Billie Burke (Bryant) Shelton.

Jeane is survived by her beloved husband of 38 years, Kelly Platt of Luther, OK; a brother, James Shelton of Los Lunas, NM; many beloved brother-in-law and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews, and friends.

Jeane graduated cum laude in 1966 from Little Rock Central High School. In 1970, she graduated from the University of Tulsa with a Bachelor of Science in Education, and in 1978 with a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington.

Jeane worked at the Oklahoma Department of Human Services for 30 years; first as a social worker, and then as a supervisor planning, developing, and coordinating training activities for staff delivering services and benefits to needy families under the auspices of federally funded public assistance programs.

After retiring, Jeane spent her time reading, traveling, doing crossword puzzles, and yoga. Eventually she worked as a yoga instructor and later on as a Weight Watchers instructor. She and Kelly loved to travel and took trips to the Grand Canyon, Colorado, Arkansas, Key West, Cayman Islands, and New Mexico. Jeane loved all kinds of rock and roll, and even saw Chicago in concert! But most of all she loved her family. She spent time creating coupon books for her nieces and nephews with coupons for weekend trips to her house out in the country, she would drive out of state for recitals, and considered her pets as her kids. But most of all she loved hanging out with Kelly.
