Katie Mae Nock Killmon

Mrs. Katie Mae Nock Killmon, 88, of Hacksneck, VA, was welcomed into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior and her husband, the late Wade Matthew Killmon, on Wednesday, June 5, 2024. Born January 1, 1936 in Harborton, VA, she was the only child of the late Leland Nock and Sallie West Nock.

As the matriarch of her family, Katie led by example through her relentless faith in the Lord, unwavering love for her family, and dedication to her community. Once her youngest child started school, she began working as a school bus driver for Accomack County Public Schools, sharing her sweet smile with countless children for over 16 years. During her time with ACPS, she also worked part-time for the Hacksneck and Harborton post offices, happily filling in whenever needed. A devout Christian, Katie was a longtime member of Evergreen United Methodist Church and the United Women of Faith. When she was home, you’d often find her in the kitchen baking, and never for herself. Katie found great joy in sharing her baked goods with family and friends, and she especially looked forward to helping those who needed a ride or help with errands. Her beautiful heart and endless generosity were known and appreciated by many, all of whom will be forever grateful for having the opportunity to share this life with her.  

Left to cherish her memory are her children, Mitzi K. Paul and her husband, Kerry, of Wachapreague, VA, Cindy K. Custis and her husband, Larry, of Pungoteague, and Rev. W. Matthew Killmon, Jr. and his wife Lani, of Brookneal, VA and grandsons, Justin Matthew Paul (Elizabeth) and W. Matthew “Trey” Killmon III (Heather). 

Funeral services will be conducted from the chapel of the Williams-Onancock Funeral Home on Sunday, June 9, 2024 at 2:00 p.m., with her son, The Reverend W. Matthew Killmon, Jr. and The Reverend Kendra Powell officiating. There will be a visitation at the funeral home on Saturday, June 8, 2024 from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. Private interment will be held in the Onancock Cemetery.
