Katherine Linda Redding

Katherine Linda Lewallen Redding 84, of Asheboro, entered into the presence of her Lord and Savior on Sunday February 8th, 2026. Born on December 30th, 1941, to the late George “Bud” Lewallen and Katherine “Kate” Lewallen. She retired from Randolph County Department of Social Services, where she was an accountant. She attended Spoons Chapel Christian Church in Asheboro NC.

She will be remembered for her warm heart, quiet strength and calming presence. With an unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, she never missed a day interceding for her family in prayer. They felt the comfort of those prayers in both joyful and difficult times. She was a loving wife and mother, but the title she cherished most was “Mammaw”. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren were the center of her world and she never hesitated to make it known that they were her greatest joy. Though they often playfully debated who was her favorite, what could never be disputed was the abundance of her unconditional love for each of them.

In addition to her parents, Linda is preceded in death by her brother Wayne Lewallen.

Left to cherish her memory are her husband of 30 years, Milton Redding, of Asheboro; her daughter, Katherine Craven Vestal (Jack), of Coleridge, NC; her step-daughter, Elizabeth Redding, of Nashville, TN; her grandchildren, Jack Barnes Vestal III “Trey” of Coleridge, NC, and Tristan David Vestal (Taylor) of Sophia, NC; her step-grandchildren, Rosalie Hinke and Aria Webber of Nashville, TN; and her great-grandchildren, Mason, Micah, Everlee, and Matilda Vestal. Her brother, Horace P. Lewallen, of Asheboro, sister-in-law, Becky Lewallen, of Southport, NC and nephews Ranall and Keith Lewallen.

Services will be held on Thursday, February 12, 2026, at Pugh Funeral Home. Visitation will take place at 10:00 am. Service to follow with Pastor Issac Fetterhoff officiating at 11:00 am.

Pugh Funeral Home is proud to serve the Redding family.
