Leave a tribute for Amy Stroupe Kincaid.
I want to send my condolences to April Woodruff and family for the passing of Amy Kincaid, a dear Sister in Christ. God bless all of her family and friends 🙏
We were so saddened to hear of Amy’s passing. During the summers, Keith and I would head to Amy’s house to share vegetables from our garden. Even in her latter years she still loved canning green beans. Keith had known Amy for years when I had the privilege of meeting her for the first time. Amy was always the same, loving and kind, and tickled to see us both. From the beginning, she made me feel welcome and I felt right at home with her. Her love for the Lord was apparent in everything she did and said. We will miss you, dear Amy, and look forward to the day we will be home together with the Lord! Dearest Mary and Sandy and family, we will be praying for you during this time of loss. Keith and Cathy Puckett
