Vonzella was born in Bartlesville, Oklahoma on November 11, 1940, to Veldon and Nina Abbott. She attended school in Pawhuska, Oklahoma but graduated from Southwestern Bible School in 1958. It was there that she met and married soon-to-be minister Floyd Key. She devoted her life to being a pastor’s wife and wonderfully raising four children: Suzanne Sweeten of Ardmore, Oklahoma, Elisha Pelton and husband Jim of Wichita Falls, Texas, Sondra Beavers and husband Skip of Aubrey, Texas, and Stephen Key and wife Skyler of Bowie, Texas. She also fostered many children throughout her lifetime. Vonzella dedicated her life to the Lord, Floyd’s ministry and to her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was loved by all who knew her and will be sorely missed. Her family and friends now rejoice, knowing that she is finally home.

Vonzella is preceded in death by her parents and her granddaughter, Sherry Pelton.

She is survived by her husband Floyd Key; brother, Gary Abbott, four children, ten grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Vonzella’s family would like to thank Advanced Rehabilitation & Healthcare of Bowie for the excellent care that she received there for the last years of her life. She was always in exceptional and caring hands.
