Debbie Talley, Comptroller

Debbie Talley previously worked as a Staff Accountant at a local CPA firm. During this time, she provided monthly accounting and payroll services for TK Publishing, Inc. (TulsaKids). She was employed at the CPA firm for 21 years. Debbie left the firm in 2009 due to a family medical emergency. Chuck Foshee, owner and publisher of TulsaKids, reached out in 2014, and she started working at TulsaKids in July 2014. Debbie says, “It was like going back and visiting an old friend when I started working. TulsaKids is about family, and that’s what we are here.”
However, she does have another family she enjoys even more! Debbie and her husband have five grown “kids”: their oldest daughter and her husband; their son; and their youngest daughter and her husband. But the best part is Grandsun Maddox! She calls him “grandsun” because he lights up their world! When not hanging with the family, Debbie likes to spend time with her husband, garden, read and play with their two Boykin Spaniels, Molly and Max.
