Support Brandy in Honoring Kiana's Memory

Hello, my name is Brandy Cissell. My daughter passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on June 6th 2024. She was only 25. Kiana was a vibrant, enthusiastic whirlwind of energy. A bombshell firecracker who was hell on wheels. She lived and loved hard. She loved the outdoors, the smell of the rain and beach air in summer. Kiana spent as much time on her 4 wheeler as she could, always looking for the biggest and deepest mud hole. She loved her family deeply, and she loved her friends just as much . Kiana was born and raised in Kenai, Alaska where she attended Kenai Central High School until she moved to Oklahoma to reconnect with her family there. She worked at RAE in Pryor, Ok wiring commercial HVAC units. It was a challenging and complicated job that she absolutely loved. We all knew that when Kiana set her mind to do something, it was going to get done no matter what. She worked with her best friend Addie Dennis. Those two were inseparable. If they were not together, people would ask where the other one was. She recently started horseback riding and told me that it was the most peaceful thing she has ever done. She had also recently taken up Lego Building! They are fantastic! I brought several of her creations home, such as Groot, Dobby, Baby Yoda and a Star wars fighter ship! She built a goat named Rufus, but I couldn't find that one. One of our last conversations we had was about how she couldn't wait to come home for a visit, so I was busy planning it out when I got the news. This blue eyed beauty will be greatly missed by everyone she touched. It is so hard to say goodbye, but I will see you again!

She is survived by her Mother Brandy Cissell, Brothers Robert Cissell, Dakota Cissell, Sister Jade Nicole Clay, Grandparents Robert and Linda Cutler, Ken and Amy Cissell, and Gary and Paula Hines, and many Aunts, Uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. Father James Keith Cissell

We are planning a celebration of life for her at Aurora Heights Baptist Church, 52075 Marie Ave. Nikiski, AK on June 29th, 2024 at 3pm. I would like to ask all her friends and family to please send me their favorite pictures and video clips for a video/slide show presentation. We will need these very soon in order to prepare them for the presentation. There will be a time for you share your favorite story and memory, so don't forget to write them down! There will be a beach bonfire immediately following. So load up your 4-wheeler and load full of wood! Bring some hotdogs and a camp chair along with your favorite memories and stories!

Her funeral and services were rushed for unknown reasons. Which forced me to purchase 4 last minute, round trip tickets to Texas. That along with hotel, rental car and all of the numerous things that come along with such a devastating and unplanned event has put a huge strain on all our finances. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you to everyone who loved my daughter Kiana as much as I did.
