Kathy Love Obituary

Kathy Love, a cherished mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, and friend, passed away  on August 20, 2024, at the age of 64. Born on March 28, 1960, to Doyle Smith and the late Margaret Lewis Jones, Kathy lived a life full of love, warmth, and generosity that touched everyone around her.

Kathy's legacy is carried forward by her loving children: Stephanie Bostic Kirby, Justin Bostic, and Laurel Rumfelt Petty along with her husband, Bryan. Her heart was fuller still with the joy brought by her four grandchildren: Blake Jenkins and his wife Caitlyn, Shay Kirby, Aubree Rumfelt, and Dawsyn Petty. Each one was a beacon of light in Kathy's life, bringing her endless pride and happiness.

She is also survived by her brothers, Mike Smith and Timothy (Vinnie) Smith, and her sister, Kelly Hatley Baumgardner.

In her later years, Kathy found companionship and solace in her lifelong friend and ex-husband, Roger Kinley, who lovingly supported and lived with her for the last 14 years of her life. Roger’s presence provided comfort and companionship, reinforcing the enduring nature of true friendship.

Kathy was preceded in death by her beloved brother, James Gregory Jones, whose memory she always cherished.

A service to celebrate her life will be held 3:00pm Sunday September 1, 2024 at Cornerstone Family Worship in Mount Holly. The family will recieve friends from 2-3:00pm prior to the service at the church.
