Mrs. Kay Henshaw Minor

Kay Henshaw Minor, age 78, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, February 14, 2019, at her residence.  Mrs. Minor was born September 1, 1940, to the late Kenneth Clifton Henshaw and the late Willie Fay Baldock in Kingsport, TN.  In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, J.
