Raquel Lynette Murray Leach was born January 31, 1971, in Purcell, Oklahoma, to Terral Collin and Linda Sue (Turner) Murray. She passed from this life suddenly on March 17, 2023, in Norman, Oklahoma at the age of 52 years.
Raquel was a 1989 graduate of Maysville High School. She loved her family, friends and co-workers. There was never a question about what she was thinking as she was very outspoken and as some have said, unfiltered. Raquel worked for the Chickasaw Nation as security and a dispatcher. She enjoyed her time in the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and spending time with her loved ones. She also spent her free time crocheting, shopping, and going to casinos. Raquel made friends easily wherever she was and her influence and legacy will carry on. She will be truly missed.
Raquel is survived by her husband, Kevin Ray Leach of the home; parents, Collin and Linda Sue Murray of Maysville, Oklahoma; daughters, Amara Craven and Michael York of Lexington, Oklahoma and Jade Arroyo and Cory Dunlap of Jones, Oklahoma; sons, Dakota Leach of Maysville and Kristoffer Leach and Stephanie Mercado of Fairview, Oklahoma; sister, Whitney Degering and husband, Donald Degering, of Paoli; grandchildren, Kannon Leach, Tierra, Gabriel, and Sophia Arroyo, Lyrix, Stelly, Zaylee, and Zalyla Dunlap, Lovlynn, Hunter, Kristoffer Kenton, Aiden, and Adrianna Leach; father and mother-in-law, Darrell and Corinne Leach of Guthrie, Oklahoma; brothers and sisters-in-law, J. R. Leach and Susan and Mike Leach and Sharon; her trusted confidante, Lizzie, her chocolate lab; and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, close friends, and co-workers.
In lieu of flowers, the family asked that donations in memory of Raquel Leach, be made to the Maysville Daughters Club, PO Box 695, Maysville, OK 73057.
