Patsy Claudine Ragle, age 79 of Durant, Okla. passed away on Monday, Jan. 24, 2022. She was the daughter of the late Claude and Lucille Bailey. She was born on September 27, 1942. She graduated from Calera High School before attending Business School. She was the owner and operator of several businesses. 
She had the privilege to spend close time with Brooklyn and Tripp Toney, Kallen and Laurali Toney, Rebecca and Reese Williams and Justus and Tim Hunter. They enjoyed playing games, laughing, climbing trees, playing dress up and lots of tea parties. The smiles and the laughter were awesome and contagious.
Claudine was passionate about wine tasting with Renea, laughing with Debbie, and talking with Raymond. She loved her grandbabies more than anything. She enjoyed decades of entertaining her family and friends for all family get togethers. She was a dedicated wife, loving mother and very devoted “MeMaw” and “Grandma”. Claudine was a role model for three generations who will miss having her in their lives. She loved life as much as life loved her. We had 20 days in the hospital before her death where her entire family visited and spent the most wonderful and special time with her filled with lots of memories, laughter, and love. As hard as this was, we were all comforted by Claudine’s favorite Christian music and her family with her till she peacefully went into the Arms of our Father. “Hugs and Kisses from Heaven.”
Claudine is preceded in death by the love of her life, William Ray Ragle in 2004; her son, William Ray Ragle Jr. in 2020 and grandson, William Ragle III in January 2022.
Survivors include her two daughters, Debbie Noahubi and husband Tim and Renea Roberts-Brooks and husband Terry and son, Raymond Ragle and wife Melody; sister, Sandra Dillingham and husband Lynn; brother, George Bailey and wife Mary. Claudine had 10 grandchildren: Brandon, Kylee and Nicole Toney, Riley and Ryan Williams, Samantha and Buddy Latham, Melissa Lorance and Jamy and Ben Ragle and 23 adored great-grandchildren.

My friend and I have been discussing personal blogs and online journaling. She feels that personal feelings and such should not expressed in such open forums. I see no problem with it. Share your thoughts:. 1. Do you blog or journal?. 2. Do you prefer face to face expression of feelings over written communication?.
