Nila Davonne Kapka (Ogburn) passed away June 12, 2026 in Yukon, Oklahoma. She was born August 8, 1940 in Sulphur, Oklahoma to Jesse and Ora Ogburn.

During her early childhood years, the family moved to many small towns in Oklahoma as her father sought work as a Master mason and carpenter. The family settled during her teen years in the Belle Isle area of Oklahoma City. She graduated from John Marshall High School in 1958 where she met her soon-to-be-husband, Jerry Kapka. They were married on April 11, 1959.

Davonne followed Jerry to Hawaii where he had been stationed while in the Marine Corps. While serving there, they had two sons Michael (1960) and Jeffrey (1962). Once detached from the service they moved back to Oklahoma where they set up house in the Britton area of Oklahoma City.

During this time, they had two more children, Melody (1968) and Jason (1970). In 1975, the family moved to Yukon, Oklahoma where they remained till their deaths. During those years she enjoyed being a member of a "BUNCO" game group and they became her closest lifelong friends. The group went on many "girl trips" over the years.

Davonne and Jerry spent much of their time working together at the Myriad Convention Center as ushers at many events from its opening till its closing as an event venue. They also worked together at the State Fair of Oklahoma as outside gate ticket sellers for many years.
