Debbie Jean Coley

Debbie Jean Coley, born on September 6, 1968, in Plainview, Texas, passed away peacefully on February 2, 2025, in Ardmore. She was the cherished daughter of Mr. Jerry Lee Willis and Mrs. Barbara Joann (Morris) Willis.

Debbie was raised in Marietta and attended Marietta High School. She also briefly attended the Southern Oklahoma Vo-Tech, where she obtained her Cosmetology license. This certification allowed her to share her passion for hairstyling with family and friends during special occasions. Throughout her career, Debbie held various management positions in finance companies and hotels.

On April 19, 2007, she married Kevin Dale Coley in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The couple made their home in Wilson, where they built a life together.

Debbie had a profound love for travel, particularly enjoying cruises and the feeling of being at sea. She also found joy in refurbishing old furniture, transforming the worn into the rejuvenated. Family game nights, road trips, and creating enchiladas with her father were among her favorite pastimes.

Debbie is preceded in death by her mother, a brother, Joe Willis, and her aunt, Mary Cooper. She is survived by her loving husband, Kevin Coley; her father, Jerry Willis of Marietta; her sisters, Dana Willis of Ardmore and Elizabeth Willis of Marietta; her son, Rusty Hester of Michigan; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and a multitude of family and friends.

Funeral services for Debbie Jean Coley will be held at 2:00 PM on Friday, February 7, 2025, at Blue Ribbon Missionary Baptist Church, with Chuck McElroy officiating. The service will be conducted under the care and direction of Alexander Gray Funeral Home and Crematory in Wilson.
