Ms. Kinsey was my 7th grade math teacher at CE Williams Middle School. Years ago after I received my doctorate she came to hear me give a talk at the Avery Research Center. She was a feisty lady. :)

I always loved how Ms. Kinsey cared about everyone. Her gentle corrections helped so many of us handle middle school. Rest in peace

Dear family: Mrs. Kinsey taught two of my children at C E Williams; truly a pleasure to make her acquaintance. Our bond became closer when her granddaughter and my youngest daughter were classmate at James Simons Elementary. Please know that my heartfelt sympathy is sent to the family for the loss of a great, powerful little lady. May God comfort your hearts as you go through this grief.

Dearest Donna, You were a staple in our community growing up and was like family. You all taught us so much about getting along and being positive influences in our community. My sincere condolences to Lisa and Nelson, other family members and friends. Belinda and I were just talking about those that remain and we couldn´t remember anyone. You all were legends and leaders and you all set the bar for us to follow. I thank you for everything in those years to now. Take your well deserved rest.

To the Family of Ms. Kinsey, I would like to express my deepest condolences to the family. Ms. Kinsey was an amazing math teacher at C.E. Williams Middle school! I simply loved Miss Kinsey! She was my math teacher and she didn´t play for a petite lady! Sitting at the podium with her Levi´s on and her sandals, toenails always polish, always put together and she would go over the homework questions with the class and her famous words were "questions and corrections" And if you didn´t answer she would say
Moving on! She always gave me good advice and I listened! Thank you Ms. Kinsey for the great years i had in your class. I always enjoyed running into you in the streets before the pandemic you still made me laugh! Rest my sister a job well done! May the peace of God and the God of peace be with you love you, Miss Donna

I am truly going to miss my mother-in- law. To know her was to love her. She expressed love to everyone she came in contact with, even pets. She was a great grandmother to the kids. I will never forget the time I made fried chicken for the kids and she thought they were taking too long to come and get it, so she started eating without them. She never stopped talking about how good that chicken was for years. I had never seen her eat that much in my time of knowing her. In the last few months when I came to visit, she thanked me for taking care of her son and being with him, affirming her approval of me. This made me so happy. I never would have thought she would be gone just a few months later. I have many great memories of her that brings a smile to my face. In her last days she expressed missing her husband (Papa). I thought that was the sweetest thing in the world. Take your rest my sweet Nana. Your job here is done. You will always be in our heart. I pray that you are reunited with your husband.
