Percilla Darnise Snell

Percilla Darnise Snell, known as Darnise, passed away on Tuesday, October 3, 2023, just days shy of her 63rd birthday. Darnise was born on October 10, 1960, in Tahlequah, Oklahoma to Jesse and Leatrice Hunnicutt. She lived in Weleetka, Oklahoma, leaving behind a legacy of love, compassion, and invaluable memories.
