Kathleen "Kathy" Spain

Kathleen (Kathy) Robinson Spain, aged 72, passed away peacefully on November 12, 2024, in Winston-Salem, NC, surrounded by loved ones. Born on August 14, 1952, in Shelby, OH and moved to North Carolina in 1964 where she built a fulfilling life centered around her family, friends, and the organizations she served in.

Kathy graduated from Ben L. Smith High School and later attended the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She dedicated 43 years to the insurance industry, starting in 1975 and retiring in 2018 as a respected Insurance Agent specializing in construction. Kathy was passionate about her work, particularly in serving her clients and mentoring new agents, leaving a lasting impact on many in her field.

A woman of deep faith, Kathy was a member of the Grace United Methodist Church in Greensboro, NC. Her commitment to her faith was evident in how she lived and interacted with those around her.

Kathy's personal life was filled with joy and laughter, much of which came from her beloved family and numerous hobbies. She was a Past Grand Royal Matron of the Grand Court of North Carolina, Order of the Amaranth. Kathy found great pleasure in spending time with her family, reading John Grisham novels, and cherishing moments at the beach, which she referred to as her "beach therapy." Her love for lighthouses and watching the sunrise over the ocean were sources of peace and happiness.

She is survived by her son, Allen Spain Jr., daughter-in-law, Michelle Spain, and grandsons Luke, Cole, Logan, and Andrew. She also leaves behind her younger brother, Raymond Robinson. Kathy was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, Allen Spain, her parents, Forrest and Martha Robinson, and her older brother, Randall (Randy) Robinson.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Amaranth Diabetes Foundation, an organization close to Kathy's heart.

A memorial service to celebrate the lives of both Allen Spain Sr. and Kathy will be held at 4:30 PM on Saturday, December 7, 2024, at Hayworth-Miller Kernersville Chapel. A visitation will be held prior to the service beginning at 3:00 PM at the funeral home.

Kathy's legacy of love, humor, and kindness will live on through the many lives she touched.
