Kathryn Mae Kirk Sizemore

Kathy passed away peacefully at Select Medical Hospital in Bristol, Tennessee, on October 29, 2023. She was born October 24, 1952, to the late Eugene Philip Kirk and Virginia Shackelford Kirk and was also predeceased in 1986, by her beautiful and much treasured daughter, Melissa Ann. She is survived by her loving son, Andrew Wayne Sizemore, sister, Phyllis Kirk Sams, niece and nephew, Kristen Sams Starling and Matthew Kirk Sams and their families. Kathy is also survived by her loving and devoted fiance, Gary Lee Churchwell of Kingsport, TN.
Kathy will always be remembered for her extraordinarily kind and tender heart, her love for Christmas, a variety of crafts and the many projects she worked on as a volunteer in Lee County.
Kathy had suffered with a chronic lung disease since 2014. Until the end, she remained hopeful for better days with puppy Sophie, lovingly by her side. She will be greatly missed but we take solace knowing she is peacefully whole and unbound by disease and pain. A special acknowledgment to Andrew, Gary, Blanche Churchwell and Tammy Payne, who have faithfully cared for Kathy over the years.
There will be graveside service on December 27, 2023, at 11:00 AM in Powell Valley Cemetery, Dryden VA.
