Kathleen "Kitty" Plyler

CLAXTON: Kathleen Kicklighter "Kitty" Plyler, 92, passed away at her home on June 5, 2021, surrounded by her family. Kitty was a beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother and aunt. In her earlier years, she was known as "the card lady", never missing an opportunity to remember friends and neighbors on birthdays, special occasions, or times of sickness or sorrow.

A Tattnall County native, Kitty married and moved to Claxton to start her family. She was employed as Accounting Supervisor in the Finance Department at Ft Stewart, where she retired after 31 years. Kitty then began a short career as Clerk of Evans County Probate Court, during which time she also served as Evans County Law Librarian.

Kitty was a devout Christian woman, always sharing her time and God given talents with her church and community. As a member of Bellville United Methodist Church, her love of music was evident as she served as Choir Director for 28 years. Her community service included holding the office of President of the Evans Memorial Hospital Ladies Auxiliary (also known as "Pink Ladies") for many years. Kitty was also a member of the Bellville Lions Club, and the Evans County Cares organization, where she served on the Board of Directors and was very active in all "Cares" activities.

Kitty is preceded in death by her husband, D.B. Plyler, Jr. of Claxton; her parents, Danny and Carrie Kicklighter of Glennville; sister, Maridean K. Simmons and brother, Danny “Brother” Kicklighter Jr. of Glennville.

She is survived by four daughters, Patsy Plyler, Patricia (Darry) Anderson, Paula (Mike) Todd, and Kathy (Carroll) Hendrix, and one son, Ken Plyler (Lindsay), all of Claxton; eleven grandchildren, Mandy Bell, Stephen (Amanda) Bell, Andy (Laura) Todd, Clay (Julie) Todd, Madolyn Hendrix, Miles Hendrix, Kiley (Phillip) Hall, Coy (Macy) Halter, Brandon (Kristina) Jones, Audrey Durrence and Will Hendrix; nine great grandchildren, Brayden Bell, Gabe Bell, Leighton Hall, Colt Todd, Ryleigh Todd, Sam Todd, Dayton Reddish, Tate Halter and Landon Jones, and several nieces and nephews.
