Debbie was born January 14, 1951959,9 in Enid, OK to Benjamin and Mildred Gibson, and passed away peacefully in her home, with her family by her side on Wednesday, October 19, 2022.  She married Dale Spoonemore in Enid, OK on September 9, 1978, where they lived for a short time before returning to Pond Creek where they made their home and raised their three children.  Debbie delivered the Enid News and Eagle for nearly 28 years until her illness no longer allowed her to do so.  She was recognized as carrier of the year in 2021.  She enjoyed serving her customers with top notch delivery service and enjoyed her daily morning conversations with several of her customers.  She made many friends during those 28 years.  She and Dale owned a lawn care business for many years, and she worked for Pond Creek Cemetery Association.

"Nana", as she was known by, cared for and loved many children throughout her lifetime.  In fact, any time you would see her out and about, she always had a grandchild by her side.  She loved her family deeply, and never let illness stand in the way from being there for each and every one of them.  She always worried about everyone else and was a selfless person.  If asked, how are you feeling today, her reply would always be "I'm fine".  Nurses and care staff over the past three years told each of us just how kind, caring, and extremely tough she was.  She fought such a courageous battle with ovarian cancer and will always be remembered by her family and friends as being a true fighter who never gave up.

She is preceded in death by her late husband Dale Spoonemore, mother Mildred Kelser, stepfather Jim Kesler, grandmother Mary Dayton, her twin sister Barbara Lou, sister Elane Skaggs, one niece, one nephew, and many aunts and uncles.

She is survived by her daughters, Denita Francisco of Pond Creek, Heather and Buddy Boeckman of Fairview, and Lena Spoonemore of Pond Creek; sisters Emma Gibson, Sheryl and Dennis Brittain, Louise Baker, Patricia and Patrick Eastes, and Christal Osborn.  Nine grandchildren, one great-granddaughter, and many nieces and nephews.  Memorials may be made to the Pond Creek Cemetery Association in care of Wilson Funeral Home or online to the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance at http://give.ocrahope.org/DebSpoonemore.
