Dean Kinard

Mother was baptized and a member at Beechwood Baptist Church and she was a member of VFW Ladies Auxiliary. She was a loving, caring, hardworking lady that always put others first. She will be greatly missed.

Mother was preceded in death by her husband, Ralph Kinard; son, Ralph "Sonny" Kinard, Jr. and his wife Carolyn; two grandsons, Keith Kinard and Matt Kinard; one brother, three sisters, and one son-in-law, John Hand.

Left to cherish her sweet memories are her four daughters, Sherry (Gene) Easley, Sue (Doyle) Dockery, and Evon Hand, and Teresa (Ray) Thomas; two sons, Steve Kinard and Dennis (Alesia) Kinard, ten grandchildren, twenty eight great grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren; loving nieces, nephews, and many sweet friends.

The family would like to thank Compassus Hospice and AreoCare for their loving care they provided. Her nurse Kendal was very special and mother loved her so. Also special thanks to Chaplain Damien who had the last prayer with her before she made her journey home.
