Ok Cha McDaniel Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Ok-Cha (Hong) McDaniel was one of four children born to, Chae Jin and Lee Shin Ok (Lee) Hong, in Ulchin, South Korea on August 23, 1946, where she grew up and attended school. It was there in Korea, where she met a tall handsome soldier named Talmage McDaniel. He swept Ok-Cha off her feet, and later brought her back to the states. The happy couple married on January 28, 1973, at the Church of Christ in Richland, Missouri. God blessed them with over forty-four years together before Talmage’s passing on March 24, 2017. Due to Talmage’s military career, the couple lived in several states including, California, Kentucky, Oklahoma and Texas, before settling back home to Richland in 1994. Ok-Cha and Talmage enjoyed their life together while proudly raising their children, Danny and Darriel. Ok-Cha lovingly cared for her home and family; they were always first in her life. In 2001, Ok-Cha began working outside her home at MWR, also known as, Military Welfare in housekeeping; and later worked at Max Auto Body Shop in Waynesville, Missouri, preparing cars to be painted. In her spare time, Ok-Cha loved playing cards, and going to the casinos with her friends, or shopping for that favorite Coach, handbag.
