Redbud Renewal

About Redbud Renewal

For us, this work is personal.

Redbud Renewal grew from gratitude — from the belief that older homes still have life in them, and that Wynnewood is worth investing in with care.

Our Philosophy

A rising tide lifts all ships.

In a town the size of Wynnewood, we do not think in terms of separate neighborhoods. We are one shared community.

Financial responsibility and community responsibility are not separate ideas to us. By restoring homes in need of new life and encouraging residents to serve locally, we create a cycle of renewal. Homes improve. Businesses gain support. Property values strengthen. Quality of life rises.

That is the kind of investment we believe in.

Miranda French

Miranda French has deep ties to Wynnewood. Her grandparents lived on South Long Avenue, where her grandfather worked at the Kerr-McGee refinery, now CVR Energy, and her grandmother cared for others as a nurse — a calling her mother would eventually follow as well after graduating from Wynnewood High School. The town has been woven into her family for generations.

Growing up, Miranda's childhood was marked by frequent moves and change. Wynnewood was the one place that felt steady. It offered something consistent — a yard, a community, a sense of belonging that followed her even when she was elsewhere.

There were summers at the pool, Friday night football games, and long walks through town that brought a sense of peace. She remembers picking up pecans in the yard and talking with residents at the old nursing home when her mother took her to work. Even as a child, she found herself studying the houses throughout town and wondering about their history — who had lived there, what they had celebrated, and what they had endured.

That quiet curiosity stayed with her.

Jeff French

Jeff comes from a family rooted in the small town of Katie, just outside of Wynnewood, before later moving to Oklahoma City. His grandmother, Ida Mae Baxter, instilled in him a deep sense of kindness and resilience — values he watched her live out every day.

Even after his family relocated, he would return to Katie for family reunions, staying connected to the land and the people who shaped him. Those experiences formed the way he sees responsibility as something steady and lived.
