She was Sharron Kaye, Momma, Nana, and Kaye Kaye to many. Each name represented a special role...daughter, sister, niece, cousin, mother, aunt, grandmother, and friend; and she lived each role to the fullest. It didn’t matter what you called her, whether you were family or not, to be in her life was to be her family; no matter the time or distance between. Her home was your home. She loved her family and friends with all she had. She was kind to everyone. She was hardworking, it was the only way she knew. She often worked multiple jobs to provide for her family. She was strong and tough, always making life’s struggles seem easier by drawing her strength from the Lord. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy. She loved fishing and shared her passion with her friends, children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. Music brought her peace and joy; her family has many memories of singing and dancing with her. She was an avid writer and has a large collection of poems, stories, memories, and favorite scriptures to share with her family. She will be missed immeasurably but the memories shared with her will be treasured.
Sharron is survived by two daughters, Charity Holdiness and husband, Sean; and Holly Jones and husband, Rev. Bert Jones, all of Louisville. She also leaves behind her brother, James “Stokey” Stokes; and her life-long friend, Brenda Lovorn, both of Louisville. One of her greatest joys was being “Nana” to her grandchildren: Lena (Andrew) Rodman, Peyton (Kenzie) Jones, Brady (Mattie) Jones, Hanna (Hugh) Collins, Koby Hillhouse, Avery Hillhouse, Ryan (Lane) McTaggart, Reagan (Bo) Canton, Rylee (Andy) Blakeney, and Rivers Holdiness; and to her six great-grandchildren: Elliott Rodman, Juelie McTaggart, Parker Collins, Bode Jones, Joah Jones, and Selah Jones. Sharron is also survived by a host of loving nieces, nephews, other family members, and friends. She was preceded in death by her son, James Theo “J. T.” Hillhouse; her parents; and two sisters, Anita Darlene Coker and Cynthia Stokes.
Serving as pallbearers are Peyton Jones, Brady Jones, Koby Hillhouse, Avery Hillhouse, Taylor Flake, and David Coker. Honorary pallbearers are James “Stokey” Stokes and Tyler Flake.
