Kiescha DeAnn Bennett, 39, of Alvarado, Texas, passed away on May 30, 2026. Born on August 18, 1986, in Cleburne, Texas, Kiescha lived a life so full of love, laughter, and purpose that her absence leaves an immeasurable space in the hearts of everyone who knew her.

Kiescha graduated from Venus High School in 2005 and went on to attend Hill College. She married the love of her life, Nathan Bennett, and together they shared 20 beautiful years of marriage and raised two children, Kinley and Parker, who were the entirety of her world. Her professional journey was nothing short of remarkable. She started as temporary help at ISC Manufacturing and, through sheer determination and her natural gift for leadership, over the course of 15+ years, worked her way up to Senior Vice President. She also pursued a career as a realtor and most recently worked with Master Meter. Everything Kiescha did, she did with her whole heart.

But anyone who knew Kiescha would tell you that her greatest achievements were measured in the lives she touched. She lived life defined by boundless joy and unwavering love for all those around her. Her humor was sharp, her personality was infectious, and her heavenly smile, laughter and unending enthusiasm were contagious. She never met a stranger, only friends she hadn't made yet. She was strong-willed, dependable, and a natural leader, yet she was also one of the most tender, servant-hearted people you could ever meet. She loved playing volleyball, watching football, dissecting criminal law documentaries, and spending time at the beach and in nature with her family. She would light up every room she entered. She was the heart and glue of her family, a loyal friend, and a selfless servant to all. She taught all around her to laugh until our sides hurt, and that we did. She lived as beautiful as she was, loved deeply and left a trail of sunshine wherever she graced her presence.

Kiescha was a deeply rooted Christian who loved God with an eager, yearning spirit. Her faith was the foundation of everything she did, and it is in that faith her family finds comfort, knowing she rests in the arms of her Savior.

She is survived by her husband, Nathan Bennett; her daughter, Kinley Bennett; her son, Parker Bennett; her mother, Patsy Gilreath; her father, Johnny Gilreath; her sisters, Miescha Hill and Tabitha Barbeau and husband Brandyn; her brothers, Shaun "Bo" Gilreath and John Gilreath and wife Nicole; and her grandmother, Edna Leonard and a large circle of beloved aunts, uncles and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her grandfather, Bennie Russel Leonard; her grandfather, Milton Gilreath; and her grandmother, Beth Gilreath.

A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at 1:00 PM at Renovation Church (formerly Liberty Baptist Church) in Midlothian, Texas, the same church her uncle, Bennie Dan Leonard, who will serve as officiant, founded in April 2000.
