Jennifer Jo Doyle Kiser

Jennifer Jo Doyle Kiser, beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister and cherished friend, passed away peacefully into the arms of Jesus on January 14, 2025, at the age of 54. Born on December 1, 1970, in Bristol, TN, she brought joy and warmth to everyone who was fortunate enough to know her. 

She attended Sullivan Central High School in Blountville, TN and was a member of the band playing her trumpet LOUD AND PROUD. She continued her education at ETSU and was a graduate of Northeast State Community College. She worked for several years as a switchboard operator at Bristol Regional Medical Center and worked the remainder of her career at United Healthcare. She was a beloved member of Anchor Church. Her hobbies and interest included family, friends, baking, crocheting, reading, and loving all her special fur babies. Whether she was caring for others, being goofy, going to watch her husband and son in theater, or spending time with her family or church family, she left an indelible mark on the hearts of those around her.

 Her love for her family, friends fur babies, American Cancer Society, and Lamplight Theatre was only matched by her dedication to her love for making sure children were safe. She had a unique ability to make people laugh, and her loving nature will be deeply missed.
