Loria's obituary
Loria Wrenna Robison née Keiner was born on January 27, 1986 to Margaret Valdez and Terry Keiner in Durant, OK. She grew up in the Wynnewood and Pauls Valley areas of Oklahoma, where she was raised within a large extended family. She was the youngest of four siblings, which include two sisters and a brother. From a very early age, Loria was outgoing, fierce and had the ability to captivate those around her. Though Loria had her challenges, she met each of them head-on. Loria’s beauty was not simply physical; Loria’s free spirit, her inner strength, her wicked sense of humor and her love for her children are all attributes of her inner beauty. Though her time with us was short, her spirit and her legacy are not.
Loria’s eldest sister, whom she shared a close and loving bond with, shares these words of love:
“Peace be upon the sister who paid the price of rebellion. Screaming to her fullest, shaking like a leaf but standing tall. Peace be upon the girl who shouldered suffocating trauma. Swindled it into her own, morphed herself into an image of the womb she once resided in, immersed herself into troubles that weren't even hers, covered up scars that she couldn't even recognize. Peace be upon the woman who forgot who she was. So determined to be the savior of everyone, to fix her family, to nurture and love everyone around her. So deeply lost that she forgot she's just as worthy of love. Peace be upon you.
We will forever miss you.”
Loria’s children have expressed that she was not only their mother; she was their best friend, their greatest teacher and inspiration. Her love was fierce and unwavering, wrapping them in a warmth and kindness that felt like home. She taught them resilience, grace and the importance of giving more than you take. She observed greatness even in the smallest details and found joy in the most difficult days. Her laughter filled their lives with light and her strength provided confidence when they needed it the most. They hope to carry her legacy of love, bravery and strength forward. She is, and will always be, their hero.
