Kitchen, Ada Mae ALBANY The world lost a bright shining star when Mrs. Ada Mae Kitchen was called to be with the Lord on Saturday, May 6, 2017, at home surrounded by her loving family. Ada was born on May 26, 1927, in Waynesboro, Miss. and resided in the Capital Region for over 68 years. She was a devoted member of Wilborn Temple First Church of God In Christ in Albany, and was involved with various church auxiliaries. In later years, she was honored to hold the position of Church Mother. "Mother Kitchen" as she was affectionately known, touched so many lives as a role model, counselor and mentor. Her devotion to others has earned her praise from community leaders and human service advocates throughout the Capital District. Mother Kitchen was pre-deceased by her husband of 34 years, Artis Kitchen Sr.; daughters, Desiree and E. Yvette Kitchen; her grandson, Kevin Kitchen Kane; her parents, Arthur and Ola Moore; two brothers, Charles and Lenon Moore and her aunt and uncle, Bishop and Mother Wilborn. She was also predeceased by her second husband, Jesse Thomas. She is survived by her loving children, Janet Kitchen, Francina Kitchen-Hill (Herm), Artis Kitchen Jr., (Tammy), Kelvin and Darien Kitchen; and her grandchildren, Sherrelle and Zachary Kitchen; her sister, Marguerite Collins; and brother, Arthur T. Moore; several nieces, nephews, and cousins along with her close friend for over 65 years, Mother Iola Dees; and the entire church family of Wilborn Temple. She was a beautiful, vibrant and spiritual woman. Her memory will be honored and cherished by all who knew her. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, May 13, at Wilborn Temple First Church of God in Christ, 121 Jay St., Albany. Calling hours will precede the service from 9 - 11 a.m. Services will commence at 11 a.m., and internment will follow in the Memory Gardens Cemetery in Colonie. - See more at: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/timesunion-albany/obituary.aspx?n=ada-mae-kitchen&pid=185354922&fhid=27358#sthash.rmTpvxsZ.dpuf
