Services were held at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, August 20th, 2005 at the Church of Christ South Yukon, interment was at the Yukon Cemetery. She touched the lives of so many people. An active member of the Church of Christ, she taught Sunday School classes for forty years. She was also blessed with a lovely singing voice. One of her great passions was glorifying God with melody from her heart. She was trained in accounting and held accounting management positions, retiring as a controller of a materials handling equipment company. She is survived by her mother Faye Frazier Reynolds of Yukon, her husband, William C. Devinney of Yukon; seven children; Ellen Lee and husband Ed of Edmond; William C. Devinney, Jr., and wife Mary of Moore; Elizabeth Devinney of Seattle, WA; Claire Tollfeldt and husband David of Seattle, WA; Cary D. Simonds and wife Donnette of Houston, TX; Keith W.

Frazier and wife Sallie of Cushing; three step-brothers, Howard, Dale, and Lewis Reynolds; and three step-sisters, Ruby Helen Kuykendall, Sue Moore and Pauline Elkins. To those closest to her, there will never be another woman like her. Through her actions alone, she taught us so many lessons over the years. Most of those lessons weren't immediately understood. Most of them we couldn't apply until faced with an adversarial situation, such as the one we're all in now. More often than not, those lessons had something to do with uncommon compassion, unwavering faith and an undeniable inner strength.
