Stacy Deann Daniels passed away on unexpectedly on September 27, 2026, in Branson, Missouri.
Stacy was born January 11, 1979, to Dean and Kim (Loveland) Stiles in Joplin, Missouri, and was raised in Carthage, Missouri. She attended Crowder College in Neosho, where she pursued her calling in nursing and went on to become a Registered Nurse. Her dedication to caring for others eventually led her to serve as a charge nurse at Freeman Hospital in Joplin Missouri, a role that reflected both her knowledge and her deep commitment to the people around her.
Those who knew Stacy will remember her striking silver-blue eyes, beautiful blond hair, and, even more, the vibrant personality behind them. She had a wonderful sense of humor and knew how to enjoy a good laugh. Stacy could talk sports with the best of them and loved to share a laugh with those around her.
She loved the simple things that made life feel special. She enjoyed snow skiing and had a particular love for the Pacific Ocean, especially the beach at Newport Beach, California. She loved dogs and especially her late dog Hank, and held a special place in her heart for Snoopy.
Family was at the center of Stacy’s life. She shared a particularly close bond with her younger brother, Christopher Stiles, and was deeply devoted to her son, Tucker Daniels, and thought a lot of uncle Brad and aunt Kit. The love she had for her family was a meaningful part of who she was and will remain among the many memories cherished by those who knew and loved her.
Stacy was preceded in death by her grandparents, Frank and Sharon Loveland, and J.B. Stiles.
She is survived by her and her son, Tucker Daniels of Joplin, Missouri; parents, Dean and Kim Stiles of Branson; her grandmother, Betty Stiles; and her brother and sister-in-law, Christopher and Laura Stiles of Carl Junction, Missouri.
Stacy will be remembered for her laughter, her caring heart, her love of family, and the many lives she touched through both her work and her friendship. She leaves behind memories that will be treasured by all who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.
A private service will be held at a later date.
