Debra Kay Keller was born February 15, 1954, in Gainesville, TX to Earl
Wayne and Wanda Lee (Loving) Blankenship. She passed away peacefully
Saturday, January 25, 2025, in Rubottom, OK at the age of 70.
Debra spent her entire life in Love County and graduated from Turner
High School in 1972. She married Randall "Randy" Keith Keller on June
10, 1972, in Eastman, OK. He preceded her in death on April 23, 2018.
Debra had worked several jobs including the Marietta Cookie Factory, the
Marietta hospital as a receptionist, Triple A (which is now Sonic), the
Falconhead Country Club office for over thirty years, and the past nine
years as a players club representative at the WinStar World Casino in
Thackerville, OK.
Debra loved gardening, cooking, and spending time with all her animals.
She would also go wherever Randy's band was playing and was his #1 fan.
This went back to the day they met when she was selling tickets for
Frontier Days, and he would not buy a ticket from her unless she went
out on a date with him. She was Frontier Days Queen in 1971, partly
because of the man who bought a ticket and fell in love with his future
wife. More than anything, she loved being around her family and watching
them all with their activities. She was a member of the Rubottom Baptist
Church.
Debra was preceded in death by her parents; husband; grandson, Aaron
Ramon; infant brother, Darrell Wayne Blankenship; father-in-law and
mother-in-law, Rhul and Mable Keller; brothers-in-law, Rhul Keller and
Dick Keller; and a sister-in-law, Quetha Gonzales.
Those left to cherish Debra's memory are her daughters, Lisa Ramon of
Rubottom, Karla Smith and husband Ronnie of Rubottom, and Sherry Sanchez
and husband Ernesto of Jacksonville, NC; grandchildren, Tyler Smith,
Brayden Ramon, Hunter Smith, Jersie Ramon, and Brianne Sanchez; bonus
grandchildren, C.J. and Cooper Ramon; great-grandchildren, Crimsyn,
Oaklyn, and Blakely Hicks; brother, Rodney Blankenship and wife Barbara
of Rubottom; sister, Linda Morgan and husband Jack of Rubottom;
brother-in-law, Jim Keller and wife Jean of Sacramento, CA;
sister-in-law, Betty Rackley of Eastman, OK; and many nieces, nephews
and cousins.
