She passed away Friday, September 27, 2024 in Okmulgee, Oklahoma at the age of 64. Molly was raised and resided in the Mason / Buckeye of Okfuskee Country all of her life until she married John Lawhead and moved to Tahlequah, Oklahoma. She enjoyed fishing, playing horseshoes and dominoes, working on cars and cooking. She was truly a jack of all trades. Molly loved going to the Okfuskee Ceremonial Grounds and attending stomp dances. She made a huge difference in so many lives and always opened her home for people to have a place to stay and a hot meal. Doing so, she created a diverse community of families where people from all over called her mom and grandma. She helped raise her nieces and nephews and also had a love for animals especially her dogs. Molly was also a traditional healer and loved to crack jokes and had a great sense of humor; she will be terribly missed by so many who knew and loved her dearly. She is preceded in death by her parents; her husband, John Gentry Lawhead; one son, Canaan Landon Deerinwater; one brother, Barney Harjochee and one sister, Martha Duvall. She is survived by one brother, Timmy Harjochee and wife Neva of Ada; one sister, Irene Culley of Okemah; three grandchildren, Myra, Canaan and Chavez Deerinwater and very special extended family, Jessee Taylor (her spirit brother), Debbie Blackfox (step-daughter) and Sabrina Thompson (dear friend and extended family). Serving as active pallbearers will be Matthew Duvall, Cordell King, Trenten Mack, Ayden King, Marcus Duvall and Jeay Harjochee.
