In Memory of Kellie Walls Sharpe.

Hi everyone. I'm Kellie's oldest son, Justin:

It's with the heaviest of hearts that we must announce that our Mom, Kellie Walls Sharpe, passed away on April 25th, 2025.

Mom had a knack for finding the beautiful things around her, and her greatest talent, besides being the best mother, wife, and friend anyone could ever imagine, was sharing the beautiful things she saw with the world. Through her photos and her writing, she made the beauty of Appalachia real, to many who have and who haven't visited or lived here.

What many may not know, is that was never the point of this page. Mom told us a long time ago that One Lane Road Photography wasn't necessarily where she wanted to share her photos with the world, but was a gift for her kids; myself, Josh, Jack, and Hannah. It was a way for us to always know that our Mom was seeing beautiful things, even after we were out in the world living our lives, and for one day, when she was no longer here with us, to remember all the grandeur she took in, even in our own backyard.

This page will remain public for as long as Facebook is around, because it's important to all of us that her talent, and her memory, be shared with the world. I would also be remiss if I didn't remind the world that Deb Campbell was her best friend in the world, and this is also a place where you will see the evidence of so many of the wonderful experiences they had together.

At this time there are no plans for services, Mom didn't want one. We are asking, if you feel so led, to make a donation to offset the cost of her final expenses. Mom will be cremated, and her remains will be spread among the Great Smoky Mountains, her favorite place in the world.

We are so fortunate to have been loved by her. She was our guiding light, our friend, and someone who loved us immensely.
