Evelyn Ann (Sharp) Kisamore

Evelyn Ann Kisamore, 81, of Grafton, passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 1, 2026, at St. Mary’s in West Virginia at the home of her friend Mary Shingleton and caregiver Diane Nichols surrounded by the love of her family. She was born on November 29, 1944, the daughter of the late Chester and Evelyn Thorp Sharp. Ann was reunited in heaven with her beloved husband, Roland “Ronnie” Kisamore, who preceded her in death on January 2, 2025.

Ann was a proud graduate of Grafton High School, Class of 1962, and a faithful member of Freedom Fellowship Church, where her faith and kind spirit were evident to all who knew her.

Later, she shared her compassionate heart through her work as a Home Health Aide for the Taylor County Senior Citizens, caring for others with patience, dignity, and genuine kindness.

Ann loved to stay busy and enjoyed being on the go, especially when it meant visiting with friends. She treasured time spent with her family above all else, often saying they were her greatest joy and blessing. Her warm smile, gentle nature, and loving presence will be deeply missed by everyone whose life she touched.
