Obituary of Kirstyn Paige Tripp

Kirstyn Paige Tripp, 13, of Ocala, an ambassador for Shands Children's Hospital - Children's Miracle Network passed away on Monday, April 16, 2018 surrounded by her loving family.  Kirstyn was an amazing artist who loved drawing, painting, and coloring and she left beautiful color wherever she went. She was born in Ocala and lived here all her life. She was an 8th grader at Belleview Middle School. She was vivacious, a fighter and unapologetically herself. She was not afraid to be different. She always looked forward every year to her time at the University of Florida Dance Marathon that benefitted The Children’s Miracle Network. The dancers and other ambassador families became a huge part of Kirstyn’s life.

 
Survivors include her parents, Ronnie and Marsha Tripp of Ocala, her brother Cason Tripp, grandparents Terry and Carolyn Purinton, Donald and Janis Tripp, and Janice Fincher, and many close friends and family who loved her deeply.

 

A memorial service will be held at First Baptist Church of Ocala at 2:00pm on Saturday, April 21, 2018.  Kirstyn will be buried privately at Highland Memorial Park in Ocala.
