Kay Henshaw Minor

Kay Henshaw Minor, age 78, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, February 14, 2019 at her residence.  Mrs. Minor was born September 1, 1940 to the late Kenneth Clifton Henshaw and the late Willie Fay Baldock in Kingsport, TN.  A lifelong resident of Kingsport, Kay moved to Parkwood Place in Elkin, NC a year and a half ago to be near her family. She quickly made friends and became a member of Salem Fork Baptist Church.  Kay attended the University of Tennessee, was employed with State Farm Insurance Company for 27 years and was a member of St. Mark United Methodist Church.  Kay had a joyful heart and loved abundantly.  She followed Jesus Christ all her days and our sorrows are eased by knowing she is at peace in heaven.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, J. D. Minor and a son, David Duane Snodgrass.

Left to cherish her memories are her daughter and son-in-law, Terri and Brad Jones of Greensboro; grandchildren, Griffin and Lorie Jones, Parker and Maggie Jones, Emily and Preston Cave, Maci Snodgrass, and Ellie Snodgrass; great-grandchildren Emerson Jones and Elouise Jones; brother and sister-in-law, Mike and Martha-Lynn Henshaw; and many special nieces and nephews.

The family will receive friends from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Tuesday, February 19, 2019, at Hamlett-Dobson Funeral Home, Kingsport. The funeral service will follow at 11 a.m. with Rev. Sean Joplin officiating.

Burial will follow at Oak Hill Memorial Park.
