Mary Dell Kilgore passed away on Thursday, May 14, 2020. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend to so many. Mary Dell was born on March 30, 1949 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama to Paul and Peggy Pagenhardt. On December 6, 1976, she married Robert Kilgore, and they raised two sons together, Brian and Matthew.
Everyone who knew Mary Dell will remember her deep love of all animals. She was very passionate for all breeds of dogs and horses, but most especially the Tennessee Walking Horse. She has attended Walking Horse events for decades. Because of her involvement, she generated so many wonderful friendships and happy times to cherish.
