Beverly Kay Breeding– age 75 of Knoxville, passed away November 17, 2022 with her loving husband and her family by her side. Kay was very courageous when given the news of an inoperable malignant brain tumor. She lived her final days with faith and love knowing she was on her way to live eternally with her Heavenly Father. She would always tell you, “I’m a Winner either way, if I go or if I stay”. Kay received her cosmetology license from Coiffures by Joseph in Knoxville. She worked very hard and long hours at pleasing her clients, which most of them became life-long friends. Kay was an excellent cook and loved to do so for her family, which she loved dearly. Her most enjoyable accomplishment was her gifted ability to sing, and she used this talent to praise and worship God, traveling around the Southeast to numerous churches and events spreading the Word of God. Kay frequented the local nursing homes, hospice facilities, hospitals, and home bound with her gift of song, which brought much joy to her heart.
Kay is preceded in death by, parents, W. C. (Cas) and Lorraine Breeding; and grandparents, Cana and Neo Stooksbury and Jacob and Silar Breeding. She is survived by husband of 25 years, Gary Jones; sisters, Opal Johnson and Margaret Breeding; niece, Beverly (Rick) Watson; nephews, Brian Johnson, Jason (Tina) Johnson, Ethan, Bryson and Landen Powell; great niece, Hannah (Danny) Mills; great nephew, Spencer (Janine) Johnson; great great nephew, Case Mills; special friends, Patricia Purkey, Twila Miller and Robin Davidson; and a host of other relatives and friends.
