A memorial service will be held at a later date when the weather warms, with Pastor Jim Reed officiating. Burial will follow at Oakland Cemetery in Poteau, Oklahoma, under the direction of Evans & Miller Funeral Home of Poteau.

Grace was born on October 6, 1933, in Poteau, Oklahoma, to Viola (Taylor) Sears and Ervin Sears. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brothers Leo Sears and Roberts Sears, and her sister-in-law, Sarah Sears.

A lifelong resident of the Poteau area, Grace was known for her love of reading and working crossword puzzles. She lived a simple life, enjoying the small pleasures that made each day special. One of her greatest joys was visiting the hair salon, where she would have her hair styled, followed by a trip to Braum’s for a bacon cheeseburger with fries.

Grace was a dedicated member of Southside Baptist Church and took great pride in her faith. She was a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

She is survived by her sons Eddy Daniel and wife Ida, and Brian Daniel and wife Sherri; her grandchildren Amber Seymour and husband Tay, and Shawn Daniel and wife Kellie; and great-grandchildren Taybri, Tinsley, Logan, and Lexie Jo. She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, and other relatives who will miss her dearly.

Grace’s family takes comfort in knowing she is at peace and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
