Virginia Lorraine Keck

Virginia Lorraine Keck, or “Granny” as she was affectionately known by her children and grandchildren, peacefully passed away surrounded by her family on Monday, February 17, 2025, at the age of 74 after a courageous two-year battle with cancer. Lorraine’s life was defined by her boundless love, kindness, and selflessness—qualities that made her an incredible wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Lorraine was born to Chancy and Mildred Miller on November 19, 1950, in Lindsay, Oklahoma. She graduated from Lindsay High School in 1969, but it was on a basketball court where she met the love of her life, Patton “Pat” David Keck. The two hit it off immediately and before long, Pat asked Lorraine to be his bride. They were married in September of 1969, and over the next 56 years, their love for one another only deepened. In the early years of their marriage, Pat worked for an oil company. The happy newlyweds moved 13 times that first year when Pat decided to go back to school to become a teacher. They settled in Bray, Oklahoma where Pat taught high school history and driver's ed, and coached girls basketball. Lorraine kept herself busy as a beautician and babysitter to numerous kids. She loved them all like they were her own. Lorraine gave birth to her sons Casey Don in 1975 and Colby Lynn in 1980. Pat and Lorraine loved to dance and often chaperoned high school dances where they excelled in showing off their dancing skills to the embarrassment of their sons. Their home was constantly filled with love and laughter. Lorraine’s kids and grandkids were her pride and joy. She was a constant source of love and support to her sons and grandchildren, as well as her extended family. Her love was boundless. Lorraine enjoyed cooking for her family, always finding new recipes on Pinterest or Facebook to try out. She had a competitive spirit and showed it at the bowling alley, where she bowled with her friends in a league. On Thursdays, you could find her playing Chickenfoot with her close-knit group of girlfriends from Middleberg. Lorraine was also an avid fan of the Oklahoma City Thunder, following the team closely and memorizing the stats of her favorite players. She never forgot to set her DVR to ensure she could watch the game while fast-forwarding through the commercials. Lorraine was happy to support Pat’s passion for golf and often spent days enjoying the sun while riding around with Pat in his golf cart. Lorraine was preceded in death by her parents, Chancy and Mildred Miller, and her sister Kathy Stephenson. She is survived by her loving husband, Pat; her sons, Casey and Colby; grandchildren Jordan Clemmer and Devon Keck; siblings Mary Lou Presley, Theresa Burnett; her brother William Miller; nieces Amanda Landry, Stephanie Burnett, and Alana Taylor-Presley; nephew William Burnett; and great-grandchildren Chloe and Cohen. A celebration of Lorraine will be held on Saturday, February 22, 2025, at the Lindsay Elks Lodge (500 George Brown Ave, Lindsay, OK 73052) beginning at 11:30 AM. We invite all who knew and loved Lorraine to come and share their memories, stories, and the ways she touched your life. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the American Cancer Society in Lorraine’s honor. Arrangements are under the direction of Scott and Angel Wilbourn of Wilbourn Family Funeral Home in Lindsay, Oklahoma.
