The immediate family will hold a graveside service for Virginia “Bunny” Lee (Harmon) Stites, 81, of Sallisaw, Oklahoma at 10:30 AM on Tuesday, January 18, 2022 at Sallisaw City Cemetery in Sallisaw, Oklahoma under the direction of Agent Mallory Martin Funeral Service, Inc.

Virginia “Bunny” Lee (Harmon) Stites, age, 81, died peacefully in her home in Sallisaw on January 15, 2022. She was a 1958 graduate of Sallisaw High School and later went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Education from Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. After high school, she married Herbert Wayne Stites and they raised three children. She worked for over 50 years at Stites Oil Company, Stites Farms, and the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service Office (ASCS) in Sallisaw. After the death of Herbert, she married Max Nimmo in 2002.

Bunny was a loving mother and grandmother and cherished every moment she had with family and friends. She was an avid reader and loved a good crossword puzzle, but nothing entertained her more than watching Oklahoma Sooner football and OKC Thunder basketball. She loved Jesus and had a wonderful relationship with Him. She will be missed by all who knew her.

She is survived by her three sons, Michael Wayne, Richard Darren and Phillip Craig; and her six grandchildren, Seth, Nick, Nate, Sophie, Will and Stella. She also leaves behind a host of family and friends that she loved and cherished dearly. She was preceded in death by her parents, Audra (Williams) Harmon and Richard Jewell Harmon; her sister, Betty (Harmon) Lowe; and husbands, Herbert Wayne Stites and Waylon Max Nimmo.

Active Pallbearers will be Seth Stites, Nick Stites, Nate Stites and Will Stites.

Viewing will be 9 AM – 8 PM Monday at Agent Mallory Martin Funeral Home in Sallisaw, OK.

Memorial donations may be made to First United Methodist Church, 2100 McGee, Sallisaw, OK 74955.
