Deberah Elizabeth Simmons, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and sister, passed away on May 29, 2024 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She was born on November 30, 1966, in Tahlequah Oklahoma to parents Robert and Earline Doyle. Deberah leaves behind a legacy of cherished memories, especially family get-togethers at the creek that brought joy to all those around her. She delighted in playing games with the kids when they were younger, and competitive spirit shone through during cards and dice with her beloved grandkids. Deberah's passion for hosting family gatherings and cooking for her loved ones during holidays will be fondly remembered by all who were fortunate enough to know her. She took great pleasure in spending time with her grandkids and baking cookies with them, creating lasting bonds through shared moments of warmth and love.
