Luvenia Marie

Kinsey

We gather to celebrate the life of Luvenia Marie Kinsey, who departed this world on July 16, 2025, at the age of 72. Born on April 4, 1953, in Toledo, Ohio, Marie was a beacon of love, strength, and resilience to all who knew her.

Marie was the beloved daughter of Mable and James Branch, who preceded her in death, along with her brother James Branch Jr., and her beloved granddaughter Keara. She graduated from Scott High School, where she laid the foundation for a life of compassion, service, and unwavering dedication to others.

A devoted mother, Marie leaves behind three children: Julius Johnson, Melissa Carter, and Raechelle (Gerard Darden)—each a testament to her strength, guidance, and unconditional love. She is also survived by her cherished siblings: Esther Bradley, Cecelia Carter, Madison Branch, Joseph Branch, and Anthony Branch Sr., as well as her best friend of many years, Alma Smith.

Marie had a giving heart and a servant's spirit. She dedicated much of her life to the field of healthcare, where her warmth and empathy touched countless lives. Outside of work, she found joy in gardening, reading, and cooking for her family. But nothing brought her more happiness than spending time with her grandchildren, who were her greatest pride and joy.

She is lovingly remembered by her grandchildren:

Gerail, Deraill, Lajai, Jaime, Dayvon, Jaiden, Charlotte, Jaylin, Ashyionna, Lanise, Rhionna, Alexander, Christopher, Ah'mageion, Geriah, and Ge'Leigha.

Her laugh could light up a room, and her love of BINGO was second only to her love for her family. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, faith, and joy, along with a host of great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and extended family who will miss her dearly.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
