Kim Swope, 64, passed away on August 18, 2025, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She was born on December 21, 1960, in the same city she called home throughout her life. Kim's journey was marked by deep faith, unwavering love for her family, and a spirit that was both compassionate and determined.

Kim is lovingly remembered by her husband, Keith Swope; her daughter, Shannon Swope; and her cherished granddaughter, Monroe Swope. She held a special bond with Monroe and found great joy in spending time with her – especially watching her play basketball. These moments brought Kim immense pride and happiness.

She was preceded in death by her sons, Jay Martin and Joshua Swope. Their memories remained close to her heart throughout her life.

Kim's strong faith in God was a guiding force in all she did. Those who knew her will remember her as kind and loving – yet also delightfully stubborn and spirited. Her presence brought warmth and strength to those around her.
