Cecile Beth Kephart was born on April 1, 1939, to the late Cecil and Essie (Roth) Fuller in Shamrock, TX. She graduated from Shamrock High School and married Dick Kephart a year later, on March 22, 1958. They lived in Rankin for a short time and then moved to Seminole. Cecile worked in a medical clinic before going to work for then Pioneer Natural Gas Company as a clerk, retiring twenty years later from now, Atmos Energy. She volunteered as a Pink Lady at Seminole Memorial Hospital for many years and enjoyed playing the piano for Trinity Baptist Church and following at the First Baptist Church. Cecile also enjoyed bowling with a traveling bowling league, and riding motorcycles with her husband and friends. Following Cecile’s retirement her days were filled with spending as much time with her grandchildren as possible. She moved to Lubbock in 2011, to be closer to family.
