Kitty Prindle

Kitty Lynne Prindle, 60, of Jackson passed away Saturday, Dec. 15, 2018, at her home, with her loving family at her side. Kitty gained her angel wings at the young age of 60 after a valiant seven-month battle with cancer.

She leaves behind her best friend and husband of nearly 40 years, Brent Prindle; her daughter, Lindi Rains of Chaffee, Missouri; and her son, Chad Prindle of Hinesville, Georgia.

Kitty was born Sept. 26, 1958, to Paul and Mabel Eakins Clardy.

Kitty graduated in 1977 from Jackson High School, met her loving husband shortly after and they made their home for over 30 years in Oran, Missouri, before returning to Pocohontas for the past eight years.

Kitty was beautiful, both inside and out. Her smile was captivating. She had a servant's heart, which was shown through her compassion and commitment to her family and everyone throughout her life who had the pleasure of knowing her. Kitty loved her husband, family and friends, and lived life to the fullest. Her zest for life included a love for crafting, where she saw the beauty and potential in everything. Her passion for the outdoors was also undeniable; she would choose camouflage, her deer stand and her best friend, Brent, every day possible.

Kitty was a childhood member and was baptized at New Bethel Baptist Church near Pocahontas.

She was an independent paper carrier for the Standard Democrat Newspaper in Sikeston, Missouri, for nearly 20 years.

Kitty is survived by her husband, Brent; her children, Lindi Rains (Paul Lynch) of Chaffee and Chad (Brooke) Prindle of Hinesville; her father, Paul Clardy of Jackson; her father- and mother-in-law, Gary and Billie Jean Prindle of Sikeston; her five grandchildren, Kade Sullivan and Ashtyn Rains of Chaffee and Gauge Williamson and Carter and Hudson Prindle of Hinesville; her brothers, Eddie (Tammy) Clardy and Rick (Jill) Clardy; her sister-in-law, Sherry (Kevin) Tenkhoff; four nieces, Keisha (Nick) Panagos, Autumn (Travis) Stevens, Hailey (Dustin) Massey and Taylor Tenkhoff; three nephews, Kurt (Julie) Prindle, Austin (Jessica) Clardy and Chance Tenkhoff; and many loving cousins, aunts and uncles.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Mabel Clardy; her maternal grandparents, Erma and Pansy Eakins; her paternal grandparents, William Paul and Bonnie Clardy of Jackson; her brother-in-law, Greg Prindle; nephew, Eddie Clardy Jr.; and her faithful friend, Sammie Jo.
