Maudena Faye "Dee" Kehne,74, of Tulsa, OK, went to be with her Heavenly Father on Friday, December 27, 2019. She was born Wednesday, April 18, 1945, in Durant, OK, the youngest of five children, born to Clarence Ray and Gertrude Edna (Moore) Hall. Her family moved to Tulsa in 1947, and Dee attended McClain High School, where she enjoyed running around with, and going to musical concerts with, her best friend, Thelma Love. She graduated from McClain in 1963, and then met and married the love of her life, James David "Dave" Kehne, on November 21, 1964, in Tulsa, OK. Together, they raised two wonderful daughters, Jamie and Dallas, and spent 47 years of adventures together, making many wonderful memories, until he went home to be with the Lord on April 13, 2012. Dee was a member of Tulsa Baptist Temple, and co-owned and operated a successful tax and bookkeeping business with her husband, their entire working career. She also enjoyed roller skating with her children, dove hunting with her father and husband, family reunions and gatherings at their lake lot in Eufaula, OK. Dee enjoyed music and really liked to sing "Respect," by Aretha Franklin. She passed her love of music along to her girls, and would often take them to Bill T's Records, when they were young. Dee was always there to help when anyone was in need, caring and sharing everything she had. She had a kind, gentle, giving spirit, valued her friendships and relationships, and took great pride in her family. One of her greatest pleasures was spending time with her four, precious grandchildren, Justice, Kelisha, David, and Dallas. Dee's message to all would be, love one another, be there for each other and help one another. She is survived by her brother, Donald Hall; two sisters, Betty and Bonnie; two daughters, Jamie Kehne, and Dallas J. Tolon; four grandchildren, Justice, Kelisha, David, and Dallas K. Tolon; and a lifetime of friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Dave Kehne; and her sister, Martha. Connie, from Earl's, who had a profound impact on her life, also preceded her in death.
