Frances Pauline Kinkade

Frances Pauline Kinkade, born June 11, 1952, in Pineville, Kentucky, to the late Sherman Mason and Edna Marie Mason, passed away on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, in the loving care of her daughters.

Pauline married the love of her life, Joseph Eugene Kinkade, on July 25, 1969, and together they shared 39 years of marriage built on faith, family, and unconditional love. She loved the Lord deeply and found great joy in attending church and living her life guided by her faith.

Her greatest joys in life were being a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Pauline was known for her warm heart and unwavering strength. She cherished every moment spent with her family and never missed an opportunity to be with her grandchildren, who meant the world to her. Her home was always open, offering comfort, love, and support to anyone in need. She wasn’t just a mother to her own children—she was a “Momma” to any who needed one.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her loving husband of 39 years, Joseph Kinkade; granddaughter, Sarah Nichole Martin; her sister and brother-in-law, Rosetta and Leo Kinkade; and her brother, Jimmy Mason.

She is survived by her loving children, Lesia Kinkade, Tracey (James) Miracle, and Andrea (Nicholas) Brock; her cherished grandchildren, Joseph (Kimberly) Kinkade, Dustin (Betty) Miracle, Kaitlyn Bray, Abigail Fodor, Jordyn Smith, and Aries and Jaina Brock; and her precious great-grandchildren, Kiara Kinkade, Ella Kinkade, Aiden Kinkade, and Arabella “Bella” Gray. She also leaves behind a special nephew, Skyler Kinkade; family friend that she loved like a grandson, Shane Howard; and Kristi Moore, her in-home nurse who always treated her with love and respect.

She is also survived by her remaining siblings whom she loved dearly, extended family, “bonus children” Julie Abrams and Dan Fisher, and many friends who will deeply mourn her passing.

Pauline’s legacy of love, faith, and kindness will live on in the many lives she touched. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.

“Well done, good and faithful servant.”
