- It is with heavy hearts that we share of the sudden passing of long-time Ag Teacher and Connors State College Faculty Member, Mrs. Debby Golden. Debby passed away suddenly at her home on Saturday, March 28th, 2026. Debby was a pioneer in our profession, as she was among the first female Ag Teachers in Oklahoma. Before that, Debby was the first female FFA member of the Beggs FFA Chapter, and the first female President of the Beggs FFA Chapter. Throughout her life, she helped lay the foundation, break barriers, and blaze the trail for other female Ag Teachers to follow. During her time in the classroom, she served the communities of Guthrie, Boynton, Midway, Checotah and Morris. Debby’s husband Bill Golden was also a long-time Oklahoma Ag Teacher, and they spent many of those years working together. In 2002, Debby moved to the collegiate level and spent more than twenty years working at Connors State College. Although Debby had retired in 2025 , she was still associated with Connors State College, and she was still the driving force behind the annual Connors “Aggie Days” Interscholastics Event. Services for Debby Golden will be on Saturday, April 4th at 10:00am at the Morris High School Gym

Services will be Friday, March 27th at Discovery Church in Yukon. https://www.yandaandsonfuneralhome.com/obituary/macarthur-mac-devilbiss
