She was born again unto the Lord at the age of eight and was baptized at Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church were she became a member. She was a beautiful and vibrant child that loved to laugh, joke, and make others smile. Kalie enjoyed sports immensely. She played t-ball and softball for the Panola County Softball Association, and later played volleyball and basketball for Carthage schools. She transferred to Hallsville High School in January of her sophomore year, where she was currently a part of the Varsity Golf Team. At both schools she was an active member in the drama class and inspired to become an interior designer, actor, or singer. Kalie had a beautiful voice.
