Deborah Kent Obituary
Deborah “Debbie” Kent, 74. Our beloved Mother passed away on March 10, 2026, in Newkirk, OK. Born on February 19, 1952, in Arkansas City, KS to Jessie Illean Cochran and Frank Kennedy.
She loved and adored her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She was a hard worker all her life with a beautiful soul. She done anything and everything she could to make sure you were ok. We are going to miss her silliness and her grumpiness that all of us knew very well.
She is survived by her children Christie Kent Wilson and spouse Billy Wilson, Amy Walker and significant other Zach Perdue, Melissa Kent, Vandal Kent and spouse Angela Kent. She leaves behind 13 grandkids and 13 great-grandkids, two sisters Cheryl Ely and Frances Maytubby.
She was preceded in death by her husband Robert Kent, Mother Jessie Cochran, Father Buck Cochran, brother Rusty Kennedy, sister Sue Sigler and brother-in-law Bruce, and sister Mickey landers.
A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date in Newkirk, OK.
