City, OK, the 4th of 6 children born to Arthur Lee Ramsey and Martha Lillie (Bennett) Ramsey. She was raised in Lexington, and attended Lexington Schools, graduating with the Bulldog Class of 1972. Marketa couldn't wait to marry her childhood sweetheart and lucky charm, Jerry Ille. So on St. Patrick's Day of her senior year, they both said yes and were married. They made their home in Lexington where they raised their boys, Cale and Kelley. Marketa began working as a Pharmacy Tech for Don's Pharmacy in Purcell, and after a couple of years, she started working for William's Pharmacy in Lexington. Marketa loved her job and her community, and served Lexington and the surrounding areas for more than 45 years. She was a dedicated wife and mother, and was never happier than the day she became a grandmother to Chloe, Seth, Madison, Sofie and Evelyn. She lived everyday for them, and greatly enjoyed chasing them in their various activities and sporting events. Marketa was a woman of faith, and attended the Lexington First Baptist Church. She will be dearly missed!
