Kathy Gail Gilpatrick, 56, of Chattanooga, passed away Saturday, August 19, 2017.

Miss Gilpatrick was born on Sept. 27, 1960, in Livingston, Tn., to Bruce and Anna Evans Gilpatrick. She moved with her family to Chattanooga on her first birthday and remained there until her death.

To all who knew her, Kathy Gail was a true gift from God and an angel who brought smiles to all who knew and loved her. The sparkle in her eyes and her contagious grin illuminated the space around her.

Kathy Gail was blessed with loving caregivers at The Health Center at Standifer Place; special caregivers, Markeisha, Sara, and Melissa, who loved her for her special gifts and personality; and family members, Melanie Henricks, Martha Evans Smith, and Linda Sue Gilpatrick.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Carl and Edwina Gilpatrick of Livingston, Jim and Effie Evans of Livingston, beloved first cousin, Wayne Evans of Cookeville, and special friend, John Cooley of Chattanooga.

Even though she has been called home by her Father, Kathy Gail’s spirit will dwell always in the hearts of those who knew her.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Orange Grove Center, 615 Derby Street, Chattanooga, Tn. 37404 or a charity of choice.
