Virginia Carlene 'Karla' Daley passed away in Holdenville, Oklahoma on Friday, January 30, 2026, at the age of 61 years.

Karla is the daughter of Jimmie Don Daley & Veda Faye (Morris) Dickinson, born on November 29, 1964, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She was brought up in Oklahoma City and attended Crooked Oak schools. Following high school she worked for various employers including Del Rancho, Community Action in the Valley Brook area, and later in life she cooked for long term care facilities. She was working for the Seminole Nation Gaming Commission when she became disabled and was no longer employed. For the past twenty-five years she has been a resident of Seminole County, mostly in Wewoka. She had a flirtatious personality and enjoyed going to casinos, playing games on her phone, and telling dirty jokes. Yard work was one of her favorite things, although it was a love/hate relationship. She loved people in general, children in particular, and dearly loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her father, Jimmie Daley; her daddy, James Dickinson; two brothers, Jasen Dickinson and Jimmie Daley Jr; three nephews: Jeremy House, Jamie House, and Dustin House.
