Les Ledbetter Shape the Future Memorial Fund

For Les Ledbetter ’78, Oklahoma Baptist University was never just a college - it was family. Whether caring for patients through his Ardmore dental practice, rallying alumni across southern Oklahoma, or beaming with pride when his daughters, Lauren and Lindsey, chose to follow in his footsteps and attend OBU, Les lived with generosity, joy, and a natural gift for connection. He served faithfully, including time on the university’s Board of Trustees, always championing OBU’s Kingdom mission of all of life, all for Jesus.

In lieu of flowers or gifts, memorial contributions may be made to the Oklahoma Baptist University Shape the Future Fund in his honor, ensuring the university Les loved continues shaping lives for generations to come.
