Loretta Kay Partridge

Loretta Kay Partridge,75, resident of Anadarko, Oklahoma passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 8, 2025, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma with family by her side. She was born on August 16, 2025 in Anadarko, Oklahoma to Jean (Horseshoe) and Floyd W.

Loretta was a strong and unwavering advocate for human rights for all people, with a deep and lifelong emphasis on the rights of Native communities. Her passion for justice and equity led her to actively contribute to the research and development of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, work she proudly engaged in while based in Muskogee, Oklahoma. She believed that every voice mattered and worked tirelessly to ensure that Indigenous peoples were heard, respected, and represented on both national and international platforms.

Loretta's advocacy was deeply rooted in her faith. She loved the Lord with all her heart and lived her life as a reflection of that love. Her spiritual strength was evident in everything she did-from her service to others to her quiet moments of prayer. She saw her work in human rights as a calling and a sacred duty, guided by the principles of compassion, dignity, and grace. Her legacy continues to inspire those who fight for justice, walk in faith, and believe in a better, more equitable world for all.
