Katilyn Ball

Katilyn Michelle Ball, 26, of Concord, North Carolina, a loving daughter, sister, mother, fiancé, and friend, passed away unexpectedly on January 18, 2022.

She was born on December 20, 1995, at Northeast hospital to James and Dianna (Lovejoy) Ball. She was the youngest of three children.

She graduated from Performance Learning Center in 2014. She recently worked at Speedway gas station in Concord; she also worked as a store manager at Subway for many years, which helped shape the person that she was.

Katilyn was a dedicated, caring, and loving mother to Kamberlynn. Her goal in life was to make her daughter proud and watch her grow up. She spent a lot of her time cooking her friends and families favorite comfort foods. Her smile and laugh were contagious, so much that every time she walked into the room it would light up. Katilyn was always the life of the party; she was always down to have a good time and will be missed dearly.

She is preceded in death by her grandparents, James and Betty (Burns) Ball and Ward Lovejoy.

Those left to treasure precious memories of her include her daughter, Kamberlynn Victoria Ball; her parents, James B. Ball Jr. and Dianna Lynn Ball of Concord, NC; her grandmother, Sue Lovejoy (Shorty) of Morrisvale, WV; her two sisters Alexandria (Bubba) Hamilton and Brittany (Christopher) Yost all of Midland, NC; her fiancé, Ashton Ford of Concord, NC; her co-mother, Samantha Franklin of Concord, NC; nine nieces and five nephews, Noah, Aubree, Brantly, Evelyn, Ryleigh, Lylah, Rose, Kobi, Remington, Gunner, Avery, Cataleya, Messiah and Kylynn; her best friends, Chelsea (Kerrey) Higgins of Midland, NC, Shayla (Dakota) Penley, Dakota Lovejoy and Esyence Williamson of Concord, NC. She has several aunts, uncles, cousins, countless close friends and many people that are considered family.
