------------------------------
Dorothy May Kegin, age 80, of Harrah, OK, was born on June 11, 1935,
northeast of Norman, OK, in Cleveland County. She was the daughter of Roy &
Minnie Gill. She went to be with her Lord on Sunday, August 9, 2015, in
Harrah, OK.
Dorothy graduated from Norman High School in 1953, and was married to Oscar
Thomas Kegin, June 2, 1955. To this union were born two sons, Gregory Lyle
Kegin and Glen Thomas Kegin, and one adopted daughter, Cheri Lynee Kegin
Luciano.
She worked in the office at Greenville College, Greenville, Illinois for two
years while her husband finished college there. They then began pastoring
Free Methodist Churches for the next seventeen years, including the cities
of Guthrie, Stillwater and a rural church near Carmen, Oklahoma, and on
North MacArthur St., in Warr Acres. In 1974, she and her family moved to
Moundridge Kansas, where she was high school secretary and bookkeeper until
1985 when Parkinson's disease required her to retire.
Dorothy was a devoted wife, loving mother, and meticulous home keeper. All
who ever knew her loved her, even in later years when disease had claimed
much of her personality, people were drawn to her. Her greatest
disappointment was that she was never able to get down on the floor and play
with her grandchildren. None of them ever knew her when she was healthy and
strong.
She was preceded in death by her parents, an infant sister, Miriam Glee
Gill, a sister, Anita Faye Cox and a brother, Leon Gill.
Services will be held 1:00 PM, Wednesday, August 12, 2015, at the Free
