Lena Mae McKee

Funeral services for Lena Mae McKee were held Wednesday, March 13, 2024, at 10:00 AM at the Assembly of God Church of Wetumka. Interment followed at the Wetumka Cemetery.

Lena Mae McKee writes. “I was born December 7, 1935, to Marvin and Minnie “Cricket” (Kilbourn) Johnson in Wetumka, Oklahoma. I have lived my entire life, except for two years, around Wetumka. God gave me one precious son in my life which has brought me boundless happiness. He gave me a precious daughter-inlaw (who is more like my own daughter) and two grandchildren who are the loves of my life, Jason and Chandra. No son, daughter or grandchildren have ever been loved more than I love them.

On September 11, 1974, I married Charles McKee in Tulsa. As I pass from this world, I pray that I have done some good for someone and that they might remember me. I also pray that when it comes time to be judged before my God, I hope I have served him well. Because if I can remain with Him, it will be a much greater place than this earthly home. God has been very good to me in this life!”
