- Texas wife and mother JackO’Lynn Page lost her heirloom wedding ring at a local lake over the weekend
- She had been at the lake with her son’s baseball team and their families, who all “jumped into action” to help look for the ring
- Ultimately, Ryan Prigmore with Blue Diver Search and Recovery arrived at Possum Kingdom Lake and found the diamond
A Texas woman has been reunited with her wedding ring after a recent trip to a local lake left her feeling like she’d never see the diamond again.
JackO’Lynn Page shared details about the ordeal and her happy ending on her Facebook page on Monday, June 23.
According to the wife and mother, as well as KDFW, Page was spending the day at Possum Kingdom Lake with her son’s baseball team over the weekend, even though, admittedly, she isn’t a fan of lake activities.
However, the day was going by just fine because “we were with our friends & truly having a blast,” but it soon took a turn, Page wrote. “I realized my wedding ring was gone from my finger!”
“Our team jumped into action looking for it. Picture 11 baseball boys with goggles, moms, dads grandparents everyone was looking! But no luck. I was heartbroken,” she added.
Unable to locate the wedding ring, which was a 1910 heirloom per KDFW, one of the fathers present suggested they reach out to a professional.
Ryan Prigmore with Blue Diver Search and Recovery arrived and searched for a few hours, but was unable to locate Page’s ring because “the weather & water conditions that afternoon were making the search very difficult.”
Possum Kingdom Lake is a manmade lake created in 1941 with over 17,000 surface acres and over 300 miles of shoreline, according to its official website.
“I was getting thrashed by the waves, but I gave my word that I would be back to keep trying,” Prigmore said, per KDFW.
The diver promised Page he would return Monday to continue the search when the weather was calmer.
“He kept his word,” Page wrote on Facebook.
Her post included a photo of someone holding the wedding ring after it was retrieved. A person standing next to diving equipment with the lake in the distance could also be seen in the picture.
“I am so thankful for him! He didn’t give up on it. I had been preparing myself for the last few days that it was lost and I wouldn’t see it again. My ring is so special to me. And I had no idea how I’d get over this. I’m am over the moon knowing it’s coming home to me!!” Page’s post concluded.
According to Blue Diver Search and Recovery’s Facebook account, the organization “is the only honest to God 24hr dive service throughout Texas.”
In May 2022, Prigmore helped a man find his “prized Rolex at Eagle Mountain Lake,” per the organization’s reviews.
