Born July 22, 1967, in Marshall, she was the daughter of the late Frank William Makings and Mary Anna Johnson Dyer. Staci lived in Marshall most of her life and was a 1984 graduate of Marshall High School and then attended Central Missouri State University in Warrensburg. She helped manage her mom’s restaurant, The Daily Grind, in Marshall until she suffered a stroke and was no longer able to work. Even though her health didn’t allow her to do all the things she wanted to do, she always had a smile on her face and she enjoyed each day she was blessed with. Staci was a member of First Baptist Church in Marshall.
Staci is survived by her two daughters, Madison Hooper of Marshall and Mary “Molly” McNulty (Patrick Dunivan) of Wellington; four grandchildren: Olin Craddock, Adelaide Skinner, Jemma Jenkins and Taven Dunivan; two brothers, John Makings (Anita) of Marshall and Matt Dyer (Heidi) of Grain Valley; stepfather, Sam Dyer of Marshall; as well as several stepsiblings, nieces, nephews and other extended family.
