Kinney Ray Tipping, 93, passed away September 9, 2021 at her home in Hughes Springs, Texas.  She was born on March 6, 1928 to Pete and Alma Watson and grew up in Fulbright, Texas.  After completing a degree from Paris Jr. College, she moved to Dallas, living at the YWMA and working for the City of Dallas.  Soon after, she met Charley Tipping and they married, moving to Hughes Springs, TX where roots were put down, making it their life-long home and community.  Kinney's life, simply put, was about faith, family and friends.  She and Charley loved and supported their community, spending time with friends on Lake O’ the Pines, pulling their camper around the country and enjoying their children, grandchildren and the great-grands.

She is preceded in death by her husband of 65 years, Charley; and their son, Jerry.  She survived by her daughter, Teresa (Fred) McCain Goodview, VA; a daughter-in-law, Angie Tipping of Bardstown, Ky; grandchildren, Lauren (Justin) Earley of Richmond, VA, Stephen (Sarah) McCain of Round Hill, VA, Jarrod Tipping, Jillian (Darren) Tipping-Rogers, and Greg (Melinda) Mooneyhan all of Bardstown, KY;  eight great-grandchildren, Whit, Asher, Coulter and Shep Earley, Tucker and Charlie McCain, Ezekiel and LillyBelle Rodgers. 

A special thank you to Kinney’s church family, friends, neighbors and HeartsWay Hospice of Northeast Texas for your incredible support.
