Kathy Kilgore

Kathy Ann Kilgore Kathy Ann Christian Kilgore KINGSPORT- Our beloved Kathy Ann unexpectedly went to sleep in the arms of Jesus on January 10, 2014. She was born on August 11, 1961 in Kingsport, Tn and has resided in this area all of her life. As a young girl Kathy was saved at Valley View Missionary Baptist Church where she was a member. Recently she had been attending Gravely Baptist Church. She truly loved both of her church families. Kathy was very passionate in her love of God, country family and friends. She especially loved children as she worked with them in pre-school for many years. She loved to plan and organize activities for her children, family and friends. She was also a strong supporter for the ethical treatment of animals. She was truly a wonderful person who loved to interact with people and had a great gift to gabb and laugh, which brought many good times and will always be remembered. We will miss her so much. Yet, we cling to the promise that thru Jesus at Calvary we will have a glorious reunion one day full of so much joy. The sorrow we feel now will be but a drop in the ocean compared to the happiness we will feel. Kathy has now been reunited with her father Donald G. Christian. Grandparents, Cass and Johnnie Trent; Mack and Beula Christian, plus other aunts, uncles and cousins. Surviving and looking forward to that great reunion day are her devoted husband Tony Kilgore and loving son Matthew Kilgore of the home.
