Louise Blalock Kite

January 28, 1936 — January 29, 2020

Louise Blalock Kite passed away peacefully on January 29, 2020. She is now present with the Lord after 84 years of devotion to her Savior, family and friends. She is survived by her children, Joy Kite Hurst (Bill) and Robert Andrew “Andy” Kite (Karl Martin).

Louise was born on January 28, 1936 in Adairsville, GA to the late Ernest and Annie Mae Blalock. She grew up surrounded by her brothers and cousins in the Sonoraville farming community, a place which always remained special to her. Upon graduation from high school, she moved to Atlanta. There, she attended business school and became a bookkeeper for the Holbrook-Myers Company, where she worked happily for 46 years. She also joined the First Baptist Church of Atlanta, where she met and married Robert Andrew “Bob” Kite. Louise and Bob settled in Decatur, where they lovingly raised their family and she cared for him until his death in 2010.

Louise’s faith was an essential component of her life and she was a steadfast member of First Baptist Church of Atlanta for 60 years. She demonstrated her commitment to sharing the Gospel by leading the Girls in Action mission group, she expressed her love of children by regularly volunteering in the nursery, and she shared her love of reading by serving in the media library for many years. In 2012, she moved to Perry, GA to be near her daughter and son-in-law. During this final chapter of her earthly life, she devotedly attended Central Baptist Church of Warner Robins, joining Bill Conrad’s Sunday School class and making dear new friends.

Her life blessed many people and she will be missed by everyone who knew her.
