Kelyn Anissa Kingsberry

Kelyn Anissa Kingsberry was born September 10, 2014 and departed this life on March 9th, 2020.  She was the youngest of her family and a fraternal twin.  She was a joy and a  blessing to her family.  Kelyn was also the answer to a mystery that her family grappled with since the death of her oldest sibling, Amira Elyse Kingsberry in 2010 to what was an unknown illness at the time. Kelyn valiantly fought similar symptoms as Amira did and in November of 2017 was diagnosed with Neimann Pick Type C, a neurologically degenerative genetic disorder that caused a defect in the way cells processed cholesterol and other fats.  (For more information, go to https://nnpdf.org/overview/#NPC.)
