Deborah Polk Jones Gee

Deborah was born in Beaumont, Texas to her parents Mary Ella and Ellis Polk.   She passed away peacefully in her sleep on August 25, 2021.   She fought a valiant fight with cancer and other ailments.  She was preceded in death by her parents, step-father James Sidney Flemings, brothers John Ellis Polk and Thomas Lee Teal, and niece Veronica Joyce Adams.

Deborah attended schools in Beaumont, Texas and graduated in 1968 from Charlton-Pollard High School.  She also attended Prairie View A&M University in Prairie View, Texas.

Deborah spent many years as a civil servant with the United States Postal Service.  It was there that she met and married the love of her life, Toy Gee.  Due to illness, she retired early from the Postal Service.

Deborah enjoyed her pets, traveling, interior decorating, and finding bargains in unique shops across the country.  She loved her family and would assist any who had a need.  She strongly believed that there will be better times ahead for those serving Jehovah, as he promised in Revelations 21:3, 4, “With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples.  And God himself will be with them.  And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.  The former things have passed away.”

She leaves to cherish her loving memory, her husband Toy Gee of Cypress, TX, sister Gloria Joyce Adams of Baton Rouge, LA, brothers Robert L. Teal (Kathy) of Palm Desert, CA,  Sid Wayne Polk (friend Emily Sims) of Houston, TX, and Oscar Zayne Polk (Emogene) of Longview, TX, her aunt Mae Kate Kennerson of Beaumont, TX, and a host of nieces and nephews, cousins, other relatives and friends.

A Graveside Service is scheduled for Tuesday, August 31, 2021 at 1:00pm at Carmen Nelson Bostick Cemetery in Tomball, Texas.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the American Cancer Society.
