Kristen Leigh Lieurance's Obituary
In Loving Memory of Kristen Leigh Lieurance
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Kristen Leigh (Bethel) Lieurance, born in Tulsa, Oklahoma on October 25, 1966, and departed this world from Tulsa, Oklahoma on January 4, 2024, at the age of 57. Kristen touched the lives of many with her free-spirited nature and radiant personality. She will be forever missed by all those who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.
Kristen was born on October 25, 1966, to Robert Earl Bethel and Jayna Lee (Whitten) Bethel in Tulsa. Kristen graduated from Nathan Hale High School in 1984. To say she was a football fanatic, specifically a Steelers fan, is an understatement. She spent many hours helping with the football pool and helping coordinate many charity events at her local watering hole.
Kristen also loved the sport of soccer. She not only played as a child but spent many hours at the soccer fields watching her daughter’s games, and more recently watching her grandchildren play. She also sat on the board for Tulsa United Soccer Club helping coordinate every Chilifest Soccer Tournament. Kristen enjoyed getting away when she could to a relaxing weekend of fishing on the lake with friends.
Kristen was preceded in death by her father Robert Bethel, and her brother Kyle Bethel. She is survived by her mother Jayna Bethel, daughter Samantha Lieurance (Ryan Blan), and her grandchildren Brooklynn, Layla and Jase (all of Tulsa), as well as her brother Kevin Bethel of Las Vegas, Nevada.
