Deborah's Story

Life I have a wonderful husband, Richard McGhee and 5 daughters and 2 beautiful granddaughters. Lindsey Lumbert - deceased at age 16 on June 20, 1997. Leigh McGhee, stepdaughter - 27, mother of my 1st grandchild, Jaycee Obermier - 4, and married to Jason Obermier. Kelly McGhee, stepdaughter - 24. Stepdaughter, Alicia Lumbert - 19 and granddaughter, Mallory born on August 11, 2006 and Mikaela McGhee - 14, my baby. School I graduated from Velma-Alma High School in 1975. The love of my life was my best friend's brother. Mrs. Mildred Prater inspired me the most - probably the reason I always made an A in my college English classes. I loved playing basketball - it was my life and eventually graduated from college so I could be a coach. One of the happiest times I had in high school was when I was chosen as Basketball Queen. My escort, Eddie Sutton and I still hold the record for the longest crowning kiss. The craziest day I had was when Jana Little and I went out the window during homemaking and went to the DQ. On the way, her tire and wheel came completely off of the car. We walked back to school and told Mrs. Powers and she didn't even get mad or send us to the office. Another great time was when Lisa Files and I went to Lake Texhoma because the football boys were there. I was dating James Layn and went to see him. Mr. Anderson, the coach caught him and a couple of other guys coming back to their camp site and loaded them up for home. When Lisa and I pulled back into Velma, there they were. They had beat us back. I later married David Lumbert and we had the most beautiful, most intelligent, All-American girl in the world. She was the daughter most mothers only dream of having. David and I divorced in 1983 when she was three. She was killed by a drunk driver when she was 16 on ...Expand for more
June 20, 1997 before her senior year in high school. I remarried in 1993 to Richard McGhee. He was on the school board when I interviewed and his niece introduced us. We eventually married and had our baby, Mikaela. After Lindsey's death, I don't think I would have been able to make it if I had not had her. College I graduated from USAO in Chickasha in 1988. I drove back and forth from Duncan to Chickasha for 3 years. Lindsey and I lived with my mom and dad for 2 of those years before getting an apartment of our own in Duncan, OK. I have also attended college at MSU in Wichita Falls, TX and UNT in Denton, TX and have 33 master's level hours, but in various areas -- counseling, educational leadership, and technology. Workplace I started teaching at Walters, Oklahoma on August 14, 2008 and absolutely love it. I teach three classes of Physical Science, Financial Literacy, and three classes of Environmental Science. I am also the academic team coach and I am having so much fun. The kids are great. I was a teacher for Byers ISD in Byers, TX for 18 years (1990-2008). I coached basketball, golf, track and tennis for 3 years and taught science. For 13 years, I taught all the high school and junior high science classes. I taught technology applications courses, yearbook, was the Technology Director for the district until August of '08. I taught one year i(1989-90) n Hartley, TX before moving to Byers. I was the basketball, tennis, and track coach and taught 6-12 science. Remember Me... I hope friends remember me as fun, outgoing, and a great basketball player and not as the hot-tempered, jealous, wild and crazy person that I could be at the drop of a hat. I am proud to say that I actually grew up when I graduated from college and started my teaching career and now have a great life.
