Lydia Rosalie (Ketzler) Stoops July 1, 1929 - March 31, 2021 Surrounded by her family, Lydia "Rosalie" Stoops passed away peacefully in Oklahoma City on Wednesday, March 31, 2021 at the age of 91. Born on July 1, 1929 in Wichita, Kansas to Cecil and Mary Bell (Bratcher) Ketzler. After graduating high school, Rosalie received her nursing degree from St. John's Hospital School of Nursing in Joplin, Missouri in 1951. She retired from Deaconess Hospital in Oklahoma City after working in the intensive care unit until 1994. She loved to hear from her co-workers and enjoyed the lunch dates in the early years of retirement. Rosalie was a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She enjoyed monthly Sunday gatherings to celebrate birthdays for each of her children and grandchildren. Nothing can compare to the roast and potatoes or turkey and homemade noodles prepared lovingly by her. It was a sight to see how many people could fit into her tiny little house. Don't move from your seat, or you will lose it! She will always be remembered for her quiet demeanor and love for Jesus Christ. She was ready to hold the hands of angels and be free of the pain she bravely endured every day for so long. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. She was blessed with four sons: Kenneth (Christie), Robert (Kathy), Ronald (Stacy), and David (Kelly) Stoops; and three daughters, Mary (Russell) Doughty, Paula (Robert) Ruckel, and Brenda (Richard) Cervenka.
