She married Donnie G. Mooney on August 11, 2007, at the First Free Will Baptist Church in Ada. Keleigh loved her family and friends deeply. Her sons were the center of her world, but her grandchildren were above all else her greatest joy.

She was an incredible great-aunt who showed up for her people in every season of life, whether it was a celebration, a milestone, or simply being there when someone needed her most. She had a way of making everyone feel important and loved.

Keleigh lived a life full of adventure, traveling throughout Europe and many states across the U.S. She spent over a decade as an educator, leaving a lasting impact on those she taught.
