Kristal Nicole Manley

Kristal Nicole Manley, 47, of Del City, Oklahoma, passed away on July 2, 2026.

Kristal was born on June 26, 1979, in Midwest City, Oklahoma, to Roy "Mike" Manley and Kathy Smith Manley.

She graduated from High Island High School and explored several career paths before discovering her true calling: caring for others. Kristal spent many years working as a home health care provider while pursuing her dream of becoming a nurse. Through determination and hard work, she achieved what she considered her greatest accomplishment—graduating from Rose State College and earning her nursing degree.

Nursing was more than a profession to Kristal; it was her passion. In addition to caring for patients locally, she embraced the opportunity to work as a travel nurse, combining her love of helping others with her love of traveling. She often joked about one of the perks of the job—sleeping in big, fluffy hotel beds while working in hospitals across the country.

Kristal had a generous heart and found her greatest joy in spending time with her family, caring for her beloved pets, shopping, and making lasting memories with those she loved. Her compassion, kindness, and dedication touched the lives of countless patients, friends, and family members.

She is survived by her father, Roy "Mike" Manley; her mother, Kathy Smith Manley; her grandmother, Mimi Dee Manley; her sisters Sara (David) Jones and Beth (Jared) Jiminez her niece, Klara; her nephews, Wyatt and Gauge; and many other relatives, friends, and colleagues who will forever cherish her memory.

Kristal's warmth, laughter, and caring spirit left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her. She will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever held in the hearts of all whose lives she touched.

Family and friends are warmly invited to join us in honoring Kristal's life at a Come and Go Celebration of Life Reception.
