Kathy Elaine Tindell- Julian

Kathy Elaine Tindell-Julian, age 55, passed away after a courageous seven-month battle with cancer. She was surrounded by love and leaves behind a legacy of strength, kindness, and deep devotion to family.

Kathy was the beloved mother of Kristen Davis of San Francisco, Rebecca Davis of Knoxville, and Emilee Pressley of Acworth, GA. She was preceded in death by her mother, Frances Yarnell, her father, Billy G. Tindell Sr., and her extra-special older brother, Robby Tindell, who she undoubtedly embraced first in heaven.

She is survived by her loving wife and soul mate, Stephanie Tindell-Julian, who was her steadfast partner through life’s joys and challenges. Kathy also leaves behind her sisters, Debbie Pressley and Julie Widby, and her brothers, Billy G. Tindell Jr., Harry Tindell, and Brandon Tindell, along with Brandon’s wife, Katherine Tindell, her sister-in-law Traci Osborne, and in-laws Gaye Allen, Steve Julian, and Bernice Julian; stepmother Brenda K. Tindell. She was deeply cherished by numerous nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews who will forever carry her love in their hearts.

Kathy’s warmth and kindness extended to her furry family as well: Amelia, Max, and Finley, who brought her endless joy. She was also the proud “grand dog-mom” to Frito and “grandest son” Simba, all of whom will continue to carry the warmth of her love.

Her presence brought light and love to those around her. Her laughter, compassion, and unwavering support will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
