Kyanna Christine Howes

Kyanna Christine Howes, 23, of Gray, TN, passed away on Monday, December 4, 2017. Kyanna was born in Exeter, New Hampshire to Guy Edward Howes and Michele-Ann Labbe. She was a very loving and warm child, so sweet she could melt the sugar off honey. Kyanna had a sense of humor and a very happy go lucky personality that was rivaled only by her step dad. She was often described as a kind, caring soul who would help anyone. She was also an avid animal lover as if the animals could sense her very soul. Kyannas passion, heart, and world were her kids. Her family was an important part of her existence. She enjoyed spending time with them and her friends. If she was here today her request would be to not cry over me, celebrate, strike up the band, and dance for I am with my loved ones in Heaven. She is preceded in death by her husband, Robert Aaron Vaughn; daughter, Nyla Hope. She is survived by son, Noah Guy; daughter, Averyanna; brother, Leroy Howes; sisters, Mariaha Dunbar, Savannaha McClure; mother, Michele-Ann Labbe; father, Guy Howes; step-father, Robert Labbe; grandparents, Jimmy and Diane Kelly, and Sandra Espling; several aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. A gathering for family and friends will be held at Preaching Christ Church on December 10th, 2017 from 5 pm to 7pm. Celebration of Life will follow at 7pm with Pastor Chad Roberts and Pastor Glenn Stewart. Trinity Memorial Centers Funeral Home (423-723-8177) is honored to serve the family.
