Daniell Stimac, age 46 of Blanchard, passed away Saturday, May 1, 2021.

Daniell DeAnn Shepherd was born August 22, 1974, the 2nd of 3 girls born to Donald Raymond Shepherd and Vicki (Griffin) Shepherd. She was later adopted by her step-father Brian Dronberger, and through the process gained a brother. She was raised in Bridge Creek and attended school there. She then attended Metropolitan Community College, earning her Associates Degree in Paralegal Studies. At age 17, Daniell dated Richard Barrett and together had a son Tyler Dronberger. Daniell’s life would change forever later on, when by chance, she met a young man from Northern California named Michael Stimac. He was visiting his mother in Oklahoma, and it was love at first sight. They were married on November 4, 1994 in Newcastle, and together they raised two children, Tyler and Madison. Daniell worked mainly as a truck driver, and she loved being on the open road. Never shy about sharing her faith, Daniell had a real heart for people, and especially those who had fallen on hard times. She particularly had a heart for the homeless, and spent countless hours praying for them, and collecting basic necessities to help them. She was fearless in her fight, right up to her last moments here, and she remained positive through all of her circumstances. She was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother; daughter, sister, aunt and a true friend. She will be dearly missed!

She was preceded in death by: her father, Donald Shepherd, grandparents, Bob Dronberger and Billy Griffin and Joy Griffin.
