Kimberly Lois McDaniel

Kimberly Lois McDaniel, 61, of Morris, Oklahoma, returned to God on September 18, 2025. She was born on June 20, 1964, in Vinita, Oklahoma, to Ervin J. and Sarah M. Munkirs. Kim attended Nowata High School and later earned her certification in phlebotomy-an expression of her lifelong calling to care for others. She served many years at Jane Phillips Hospital, where her compassion and dedication left a lasting impression on colleagues and patients alike. Kim was the proud and devoted mother of her daughter, Krystle, whom she loved deeply. She shared Krystle with her former spouse, Darrell Jones. Later, Kim married Robby Lewis, and together they raised Cassie and Bobby. On August 19, 2016, Kim married the love of her life, Bobby McDaniel, in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. Their marriage was a source of deep joy and companionship. Kim was known for her radiant smile, her infectious, boisterous laugh, and her giving spirit. A woman of strong faith and a nurturing heart, she found joy in quilting, reading, attending church, and most of all, spending time with her loved ones. Her bond with her daughter Krystle was the greatest treasure of her life. She is survived by her daughter Krystle and her husband Brad; her bonus daughter Cassie; her bonus son Bobby; her brothers Ernie, and Ervin and his wife Wanda; her sister Sandra and her husband Jeffrey; her favorite niece Brandy; and her brother-in-law Robert; Kim also leaves behind many extended family members and cherished friends who will miss her dearly. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Bobby McDaniel; her parents, Ervin and Sarah Munkirs; and her sisters, Judy and Twila. Though Kim is no longer with us, her light lives on in the lives she touched and the love she gave so freely. As Maya Angelou once said: "A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again."
