I always enjoyed running into Kathie at church or in the community. Such a warm and welcoming lovely woman, with joy that impacted all those around her. I pray that God holds her family close in her absence.

Sending my love and prayers to the entire family. I was so blessed to know and love “kitty grandma”. As our families grew, and mine and Amy’s babies had their own babies, she was always available to lend a hand. Here was this amazing woman who never stopped. I was always in awe of her go, go, go. I attribute it to her positive attitude. I remember asking my grandson if he would rather come over to my house or go to “kitty grandmas”. You’d never believe who he picked!! I surely didn’t blame him and I’m so glad that he was able to have those moments with his best buddies.

So beautiful inside and out!! She will be missed. Wishing peace and blessings to her family and friends. Xoxo

Such a great person. She always had a smile. I met her years ago when I was working at Big M in Hilton. Always had a smile and conversation. She will be missed by many.

So sorry to hear of Kathleen's passing. We met her at Sam & Alex's wedding rehearsal . She surprised us when she told us she and hubby had grown all the sunflowers for the wedding bouquets. They were lovely.

We are very sorry for your loss .

Kathie was such a bright spot in our lives, even with all the health troubles she was going through. I spoke with her after Thanksgiving, and she filled me in on what Caryl, Jerry and her kids, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were up to. I'm so glad she was able to celebrate Samantha's wedding and, most recently, Andre's wedding! I'm so glad we were at Kathie and Jerry's 50th Anniversary celebration a few years ago. The picture that was given out that day is still on my fridge. I am so sorry for this loss in your lives, but keep the eternal perspective! Because of Jesus, we have the hope of being together again! May you be able to celebrate that this Christmas.

Love, Cousin LoLo and Jerry

Grandma B was the most kind and loving person I have ever met. I can’t remember a time in the 8 years that I got to know her where she wasn’t smiling. The thing I will miss most besides her smile are her stories that she would tell me. Wether it was a story about what she did that day or about her family being on the titanic I always enjoyed listening to what she had to say. She will be missed so much. Love, Alex

I will never forget the beautiful flowers given to Alex and Sam by Kathie for the tables at their wedding. Her loving touch was seen in each arrangement. Ever grateful to Kathie for welcoming Alex into her family and loving him as if he were her own grandson. With my deepest condolences - Jill Parker

I’m so very sorry for your loss. I remember meeting her in Germany. Always had a smile on her face and a kind word.

So very very sorry for your loss and will keep all of you in my prayers. Jean Mullins
