Our beloved husband and father, Ken Bolenbaugh, went home to be with Jesus May 19, 2023. Ken was born November 3, 1940 to Donald and Hazel Schlottog Bolenbaugh.

Ken graduated from Hillsdale High School in 1959 and attended Northwestern Oklahoma State University where he met the love of his life, Sheryl. They were married on February 9, 1963 at the Carrier Church. Ken spent his life farming and ranching in the Carrier and surrounding areas until retiring and moving to Enid three years ago. He was a good neighbor and great friend to many. He will be missed by all who knew him.
