Anastasia McKinley

Anastasia McKinley was born on August 17, 1970 in Fort Polk, La to the late Garrett Patrick McKinley Sr and Precilla McKinley. She came from a military family due to her father’s service for the United States Army. She lived in the US and overseas for most of her childhood. She was a resident of Tacoma, Washington for over 20 years until she moved back to Louisiana in 2019 due to her health along with her mother’s health. She transitioned to her heavenly home on October 18, 2024 at Ascension St. John Medical Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma surrounded by her daughter and grandchildren. Anastasia was the life of the party. She lived life the way she wanted to, on her own terms. She always had something humorous to say that could change your day or even your outlook on life.
