SHAWNEE – Kimberly (Capps) Brown
Beloved Mother, Grandmother, Daughter, Sister, Aunt
Kim Brown went home to be with the Lord Tuesday, March 15, 2022, after a 4-year battle with lung cancer.
She was born June 22, 1966 in Stillwater to Roy and Linda Capps of Shawnee. As an elementary student, Kim attended Jane Brooks School for the Deaf in Chickasha and middle school at South Rock Creek in Shawnee. She graduated from Tecumseh High School in May of 1984.
Upon graduation, Kim worked for Tinker Air Force Base. She married Larry Brown in August of 1986. One daughter, Kayla Marie, was born to this union on November 9, 1990.
Kim was preceded in death by her father, Roy Capps, grandmother and grandfather Duel and Polly Capps, grandmother Jessie Moore, first cousins Donnie Clark and Gary Hopcus, plus several aunts and uncles.
Survivors include mother Linda Capps, daughter Kayla (David) Rogers of Shawnee; grandchildren Rylee and Bennett; brothers Brian (Staci) Capps of Ada, Aaron (Melissa) Capps of McLoud; uncles Cecil (Nancy) of Las Vegas, NV, Jim (Oneta) of Meeker; aunts Marilyn (Don) Clark of Macomb, Rosa (Hub) Reed of Shawnee and Sue Moore of Choctaw; nephews Hunter (Shadley), Scout, Cole, Cade, and Carson Capps.
Kim Brown was a loving mother and grandmother (Mimi). Her two grandchildren were the light of her life. She loved to attend her granddaughter’s softball games and watch her two-year-old grandson play imaginary baseball in the living room, complete with running bases and sliding.
She showed her love to all her family members by remembering their birthdays and making sure they received at least a text. She never forgot details, and her amazing memory never failed to astonish her family.
You never saw Kim without a smile. That smile not only made her feel better, but the recipient as well. She faced adversity with an inner ability to overcome. A fighter in confronting her cancer with the will to live, she did just that for four years. Although she was deaf, she would freely communicate with those who were hearing. She did a remarkable job in getting along in basically a hearing world. She enjoyed her church family at Blackburn Chapel, but struggled to attend in the past year. Kim appreciated the many cards, flowers, and food that were sent by church members.
The family requests in lieu of flowers that contributions be made to their organization of choice in Kim’s name. The family appreciates SSM Cancer Center, Heartland Hospice, and CPN Senior Network Services.
