Tabitha Sue McKinster

Tabitha Sue McKinster, born March 29, 1985, passed away on June 5, 2026.

Tabitha was a beautiful mama first and foremost who loved her children so much more than words can explain. She lived a life filled with kindness, compassion, and friendship toward everyone she met. Though she was a quiet woman, she had a remarkable ability to connect with others and make friends anywhere she went.  Anyone who knew her knew she was fighting battles that no one should face alone. She carried those struggles so privately that many of us find it difficult to comprehend her passing. Let her story serve as a reminder to speak openly about your struggles and never be ashamed of the hardships you have endured. Tragically, the shame and guilt Tabitha carried took her from us far too soon.

Tabitha has 7 beautiful children that she loved with her entire wellbeing, Makenzie, Destiny Skaggs, Billy, Bailey Burns, Brandi Stewart, Brooklyn Wilson, and Breahna Magoto. She also has 6 beautiful grandchildren, whom she loved dearly.

Tabitha is survived by her wonderful parents Cindy McKinster, Chad and April McKinster whose lives are forever changed by their loss. Tabitha is leaving behind the love or her life and lifelong partner Billy Burns; her brother Chad McKinster who was her best friend growing up, her sisters Amanda and Christi Lisch along with her cousin Danielle Rodgers. Tabitha is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who will deeply miss the love, kindness, and warmth she brought into their lives.

As our family griefs Tabitha, we ask for your prayers, love and support. Please remember life can change in an instant. Hold your loved ones close and cherish every moment and never miss an opportunity to tell someone how much you love them.
