Kristen May Watkins Adkins - 06/28/89 - 01/05/2024

 Kristen May Watson-Adkins was a friend, daughter, sister who was born on 6/28/1989 and departed to be with the Lord on 1/05/2024.  She was loved by so many family and friends, and a member of our pool-playing community.  She loved her dog Kirby ("Smartin"), Fred Martin, family, friends from all over including Georgia, Texas, and Florida.  Her favorite hobbies were playing pool, being out in the sun, rooting for the Georgia Bulldogs & Texas Longhorns, Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Stars, and Texas Rangers.  She cared deeply for those close to her and always wore her emotions on her sleeves.  Kristen triumphally submitted her life, in faith, to Jesus Christ before she passed blessing us all with the hope that we will reunite again.  Rest in Peace, Kristen.
