Marion knew how to make someone feel special and loved. Whether we met in the church hallway or in the local stores, she always took time to show her faithfulness and caring. I will see you in the choir in Heaven sweet lady!

God received a beautiful angel Wednesday evening. She had incredible strength with a heart of gold for everyone that came into her life. I will cherish the wonderful memories we shared. She was a remarkable Grandma and Great K...who paved a wonderful path in life to follow. I love you Grandma K.

May the memories be sweet and bring you comfort and joy as you celebrate her beautiful, well-lived life. My first memories of Mrs. K were from my High School years – gathering at the Kilpatricks' home where we were always welcomed and greeted by her wonderful smile. I'm sure that Mr. & Mrs. K are at peace, proud of their beloved family and the growth and success of Patco. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you grieve and remember. Blessings to you all.

Miss K was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever had the pleasure of knowing even if it was for a brief time. She treated me like family from the moment I met her and she always made me laugh when I got an opportunity to see her at Patco. My love and prayers for the Kilpatrick family during this time of sorrow.

I only knew Mrs. Kilpatrick only for a very short time but she chatted with me from time to time like I had been at Patco for 30 years. She always had a smile on her face, made me feel at home and you could just tell she was at her happiest when she was at work at Patco close to her kids and keeping a watchful eye on the business her and husband Johnny built over the years. It's where she felt close to him and filled the void of his absence for many years. Just know they are both smiling down on the wonderful family they have created from gods golden shores in heaven, walking hand in hand after all the years of being apart. The promise of Jesus Christ is that we will all be together again and pray that this would offer a small comfort to the entire family. The Cardwell family wishes the entire Kilpatrick family our deepest condolences and heart felt sorrow for your loss. God bless you all.

Grandmother was a very loving woman, she valued her family and Church above all things. I love my Grandmother dearly and I am very upset that I will not be able to attend her funeral. My best memories of my grandmother come from time spent together over the holidays and seeing her at Patco. No matter what she always had time to answer my questions and was a very sweet woman. I will always miss her the most on Christmas Eve and it will always be a reminder of her, as it was a family tradition to have it with her every year. At least I know that my son has all his grand parents with him in Heaven now to look after him. Love you Grand Ma and I will visit you when I get back in country.
