Destiny graduated from Broken Arrow High School. She was a kind-hearted, strong-willed, and exceptionally loving individual who made it her mission to help anyone in need. She will be remembered for the warmth she shared with everyone she met. Destiny found joy in simple pleasure; she enjoyed cooking and sharing meals with her friends and family. Spending quality time with loved ones brought her happiness, and she cherished every moment. She enjoys walking and connecting with the beauty of the world around her.
Destiny was an active member of her community, participating in several organizations. She was deeply involved in the Good News Clubs, Sewing Seeds Women Group, Kids Youth Group and was a faithful member of the First Baptist Church.
Destiny leaves behind her loving parents, Joseph, and Peggy, as well as her Stepmother, Duska (Momma D). She also leaves behind her brothers, Chance and Maximus, and her sisters, Angela and Brianna. Destiny will be greatly missed by her grandparents, Carolyn and John. But Destiny will be welcomed by her uncle John Perkins, aunt Kay Bubb, nana Peggy Perkins, and her grandpas Kevin Creaser and Joe Ed Cunningham Jr.
A memorial service to celebrate Destiny's life will be held on October 25, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. at the First Baptist Church in Claremore, Oklahoma.
Destiny had a strong faith and a deep desire to worship God. She found inspiration in her favorite Bible verses, Psalms 9:16 “The Lord is known by his acts of justice; the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.” And Revelation 21:4 “There will be no pain, sin, suffering, or tears of sadness.” Her faith was an integral part of her life, guiding her actions and providing her with comfort and strength.
As we say our final goodbyes to Destiny, we remember her as a beacon of love, kindness, and faith. Her memory will forever shine brightly in our hearts.
