Sondra Kilgore

January 17, 1936 — December 24, 2017

Sondra Kilgore, 81, of New Castle, was surrounded by her loving family when she left this earth for her eternal home on Christmas Eve. She was born January 17, 1936 in New Castle to Gerald and Violet Ballard and was proud to have lived her entire life in New Castle.

Sondra married Donald Kilgore in May of 1956 and they enjoyed 52 years of marriage before Donald’s passing in February of 2008. Sondra was blessed to be a homemaker and stay at home mom.

She enjoyed spending time with her family as they were everything to her. She was lovingly called Nana by many and was often introduced as Nana instead of Sondra. Sondra was a wonderful Nana to her grandchildren and all their friends. When her grandchildren were younger you could often find several of them sitting with her in her oversized recliner or playing at her feet.

Sondra is survived by her three sons, Rick (Kimberly) Kilgore, Scott (Emily) Kilgore and Ken Kilgore (Brittany Page); nine grandchildren, Kristy Kilgore (Nick Carter), Kelli (Josh) Tormaschy, Ross (Ashley) Kilgore, Alex Kilgore, Kaleb Ford, Madison Kilgore, Aaron Henderson, Katie Henderson and Ryan Kilgore; five great grandchildren, Kanaan Cranmer, Dominick Carter, Titan Tormaschy, Naomi and Abel Kilgore; a sister, Carole McCorkle; several brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents and husband, she was preceded in death by her in-laws Elmer and Lucy Kilgore, sister-in-law Joan Price and brothers-in-law, Charles McCorkle, Kenneth, Philip and Willis Kilgore.

The family would like to thank Heritage House and Henry County Hospice for the excellent care they gave to Sondra the last several weeks. They went above and beyond their call of duty for her and their love and compassion for her was very much appreciated.

Services will be 1:00 p.m. Thursday, December 28, 2017 at Hinsey-Brown Funeral Service in New Castle with Brian Riggs presiding over the service. Burial will follow in South Mound Cemetery, West Lawn Addition next to her husband Donald. Visitation will be 11:00 a.m. until time of services at the funeral home.
