Mrs. Kyra Lynn Karr, 30, of Cartersville, died suddenly on Thursday, Aug. 13, 2015, from injuries sustained in an automobile accident. She was born in Virginia Beach, Virginia, on Nov. 27, 1984, to Joseph Carp and Karen Howard Carp.

Kyra was a member of Tabernacle Baptist Church. The most important thing in Kyra’s life was her faith and relationship with Jesus Christ. Her life’s purpose was to serve him. Because of her faith she was an incredible mother and wife and embodied a servant’s heart, just lile her Savior. The Lord called her to serve Him alongside her family on the mission field and she did that faithfully and to the best of her ability. She will be terribly missed, but those close to her rejoice in knowing in whose presence she finds herself. She is preceded in death by her grandparents, Patsy and Karl Howard and Anthony Carp; and father-in-law, Philip Karr.

She is survived by her husband, Reid Karr; her children, Nolyn, Ellie and Livia Karr; her parents, Joseph and Karen Carp; her sisters, Chelsey Carp, Sydney and Daniel Shadle; her grandmother, Lois Carp; and her mother-in-law, Janet Karr.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., Wednesday, Aug. 19, 2015, at Tabernacle Baptist Church with Dr. Don Hattaway and Dr. Leonardo De Chirico officiating. Interment will follow in Sunset Memory Gardens. The family will receive friends from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 18 at Tabernacle Baptist Church.

In lieu of flowers the family request donations be made to Tabernacle Baptist Church for the Italian Church Plant Breccia Di Roma and its ministry efforts.
