Kathy Lark Kicklighter, age 74 of Keystone Heights passed away at her home, Tuesday, April 7, 2026, unexpectedly. She was born on July 12, 1951, in Jacksonville to the late Clyde and Marilyn (Barnett) Kicklighter. She spent her life caring for her family and passionately expressing her love for those around her.

Prior to retirement Kathy worked for the State of Florida as a computer specialist. She enjoyed cheering for the Georgia Bulldogs, spending time with others by taking them out to eat, or just finding the perfect book to dive into, but her true joy came from family time. Kathy's love for her family was evident in everything she did

Left behind to cherish her memory are her brothers Clyde Kicklighter (Ernestine), Edward Kicklighter (Daisy), and a sister Kari Ramos, along with several nieces and nephews. She was lovingly called "GAK" by several great nieces and nephews all of whom brought her endless joy and laughter into her life.

While we will deeply miss her bright spirit, we find comfort in knowing that Kathy loved uplifting others. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor her memory by performing a random act of kindness.

A celebration of her life will be held at Trinity Baptist Church on May 16, visitation 10:00AM, service 11:00AM, lunch to follow, with Pastor Scott Stanland officiating.
