For more than forty-five years, Mrs. Killgore worked alongside her husband at the business they built together from the ground up, West Falls Veterinary Clinic. She enjoyed connecting with their customers and formed life-long friendships as the office receptionist/secretary.
When not at work, Mrs. Killgore treasured spending time in the country with family, especially grandchildren.

Although not a worldly traveler, she did enjoy trips to Shreveport, LA to try her luck on the slots and to make lasting memories with loved ones.
