Jana Kay (McGregor) Philpott

Jana Kay Philpott entered this life on June 27, 1967 in Oklahoma City, OK, the daughter of Guy McGregor and Virginia Sue (Mahaney) Nichols, and raised by her stepfather, Delmar Dale Nichols. She grew up in a house of four brothers and three sisters that always kept life fun. After graduating high school in 1986, Jana met and married the love of her life J.R. Philpott. Their home was blessed with one son, Jared Ryan, and one daughter, Jaley Kay. She was lucky enough to land her dream job, as homemaker, Jana always looked forward to spending time with her family. Jana was the most caring and sweetest person you could have met, always putting others before herself. When she did take a moment for herself, she could be found listening to classic rock or catching up on her soaps and checking out the problems Judge Judy was solving before squeezing in a nap. A day was never better spent than riding the back roads with her husband or being whisked away on one of their many spontaneous trips. She loved being around her brothers and sisters and always tried to lure them into a spirited game of dominos. She loved her friends and family dearly but her grandkids truly put the spring in her step anytime they were around. Jana was an amazing woman that will be missed by all of her family and friends. She entered her eternal rest on November 27, 2021 in Tulsa, OK at the age of 54.

Those she joins in heaven include her parents, and one brother Mike McGregor, both, maternal and paternal grandparents.
