Jacque Killmon

(From Doughty Funeral Home)

Mrs. Jacque Killmon, 73, passed peacefully in her sleep at home on March 17, 2025. Born on Feb. 17, 1952, she lived her entire life on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, the place she dearly loved.

Jacque often recalled fond memories she held of her childhood and the treasured time spent at her grandparents’ farmhouse, always full of her many relatives. She remained close to her family members throughout her life. Siblings, cousins, and her beloved aunts were her greatest friends.

Jacque met and married the love of her life, Buzzy Killmon, after graduating from Northampton High School in 1970. Buzzy and Jacque raised their three children in Nassawadox, where Jacque worked as an X-ray technician for Northampton-Accomack Memorial Hospital and the Eastern Shore Physicians and Surgeons office. She enjoyed her job and loved her coworkers.

She was a warm and supportive wife, mother, and grandmother. She was very proud of her family and showed her love in countless ways.

Jacque was a talented cook who could prepare a bountiful Southern meal like no other and set the table to impress. If you were coming for a family dinner, your favorite dish would be included even if it meant serving three main dishes along with a dozen sides.

Jacque had faith in the Lord, which comforted her during her battle with cancer. Heaven has gained the sweetest angel with the most beautiful smile.

Jacque was preceded in death by her parents, Jack Carpenter and Marie Turner.

She is survived by her loving husband, Buzzy Killmon; her three children, Mary Elizabeth Killmon (Dave), of Cape Charles, Anna Marie Malik (Andy), of Belle Haven, and Jason Davis Killmon (Ann), of Lamar, Mo.; one brother, Adrian Carpenter (Kathy), of Bayford; and one sister, Martha Paige Davis (Mark), of Dayton, Tenn.; eight grandchildren, Kaleb Long (Megan), Aiden Malik, Weylin Malik, Jack Killmon, Laila Killmon, Holiday McCormack, Bear McCormack, and Birdsong McCormack, and several nieces and nephews and cousins. She was expecting her first great-grandchild to be born in September to Kaleb and Megan.

A funeral service was held at 4 p.m. on Sunday, March 23, at Doughty Funeral Home in Exmore, with the Rev. Jeff Conrow officiating. Jacque’s family served as pallbearers.
