Kayanne had a passion and an incredible talent for interior decorating and received a degree in Interior Design from Dalton College. She could take an old shack and turn it into a mansion. Kayanne was loving, loyal, caring, and generous with a beautiful sparkle in her eyes. She loved buying and sending cards to friends and family for birthdays or just to brighten up their days. She loved reading, cooking, slumber parties, and watching good movies. Her favorite movie was Mama Mia’ and all dog movies, especially the movie Hachi. She loved to travel and had the habit of striking off at the spur of the moment with Britt. He always had bags packed ready to go when she said, “Let’s go Britt”. Her favorite places to travel were the beach, the mountains, and Callaway Gardens. She loved spending time with her friends and family. But her greatest joy was being called Nonnie and spending time with all her grandchildren and great grandchildren and all the love, laughter and precious memories they brought into her life.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to her caregivers at Gordon Health & Rehabilitation and especially the nurses and caregivers with Affinis Hospice.

To honor Kayanne’s wishes, her body was cremated, and a graveside service to celebrate her life will be held at a later date.
