Lindell Keith Berryhill Sr. was born on Feb. 13, 1951, in Okmulgee, to Raymond and Eliza Berryhill. He passed away on Feb. 14, 2026, in Tulsa, at the age of 75.
Lindell grew up in the Okmulgee and Preston communities and graduated from Preston High School in 1969. On May 23, 1970, he married the love of his life, Christine Willie. Together they shared more than 40 years of marriage, building a home filled with love, laughter, and unwavering devotion until her passing in 2010.
A hardworking and dependable man, Lindell retired from the Bristow Housing Authority, where he served as a maintenance man known for his steady hands, good humor, and willingness to help anyone in need. Outside of work, he found joy in simple pleasures, fishing, visiting with friends, and spending time with his family, who were the heart of his world.

His legacy continues through each of them.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife, Christine Berryhill; his son, Lindell Berryhill Jr.; brothers Leonard Berryhill, Lyle Berryhill, and Raymond Berryhill Jr.; and his sister, Rosie Berryhill.
Lindell’s life was marked by loyalty, quiet strength, and a deep love for those around him. His presence will be missed, but his memory will remain a blessing to all who knew him.
