Destiny Brook Keathley

Destiny Brook Keathley, age 11, of Crossville and formerly of Clinton, passed away late Wednesday, Nov. 14, at her home in Crossville.

Destiny was Papaw’s girl, and she was a member of Antioch Baptist Church in Clinton. She was a faithful child who thanked God for everything. She even thanked God for her cancer. She told Him in a prayer that she would take it and be happy if that is what He wanted for her, and she never complained.

Destiny was fascinated with law enforcement and CSI officers. She was even made an honorary CSI officer by the Anderson County Sheriff’s Department. Destiny attended Lake City Elementary School and the Boys and Girls Club of North Anderson County in Lake City, and North Cumberland Elementary School in Crossville. She recently attended Destiny’s Ball given to her by the teachers and principal of North Cumberland Elementary, her hair stylist, and the staff of her doctor’s office.

Destiny is survived by her mother and stepfather, Angel Bunch Bowman and Danny Ray Bowman of Crossville; father, James Keathley of Oliver Springs; brothers, Darren and Blake Keathley; grandparents, Deborah and Harold Bunch of Claxton, and Ray and Jan Bowman of Crossville; great-grandmother, Leora Bowman of Crossville; favorite aunt, Cathy Cole; cousins, Sarah and Taylor Sharp, and Maggie Bunch; uncles, David and Melissa Bunch of Powell, Johnny and Emily Bunch of Claxton, and Jeff and Mathie Bertels of Claxton; cousins, Ace and Katherine Bunch, Jace and Ava Bunch, Jake, Summer, Jordan, and Waylon Bunch, and Paul and Joseph Bertels; and special friends, Matthew Cunningham, Kari Abston, and Beth Farrow. She is also survived by many other relatives and friends.

Destiny’s family would like to thank everyone for their love and support. Special thanks to Antioch Baptist Church, North Cumberland Elementary School, Cumberland County Physician’s Group, and Vanderbilt’s Stallworth Rehabilitation and Hope Lodge.

Destiny’s family received her friends on Friday, Nov. 16, from 6-8 p.m. at Antioch Baptist Church in Clinton.

Her celebration of life will be Saturday, Nov. 17, at 1 p.m. also at Antioch Baptist Church with Rev. Marty Stooksbury officiating. Her interment will follow her service at Asbury Cemetery in Knoxville.
