Katherine Herring Obituary
Katherine Elizabeth ~ a granddaughter, daughter, mother, niece, cousin, friend, and soul mate ~ spread her wings on April 20, 2011. While on earth she left stardust and satin, empathy and compassion. She left her footprints on many a heart while dancing here on earth.
Katie left behind her lovely daughter Lolah Grace and her fiancé, Matthew Schilling, and his family. Surviving loved ones include her grandparents, Jerry and Elli Smith of Flagstaff, AZ, and Tribune, KS; her mother, Juli, and father, Eric Herring; her aunt Susan McNelly, uncle John McNelly, and cousins Allison McNelly and Laura Burrows and her husband David and their son Mason Burrows, all of Flagstaff, AZ. Her heart is etched on many friends from Arizona to Kansas and North Carolina. A memorial has been established at Bank Of America in Flagstaff, AZ. for "Lolah Grace Hoffman". Services will be in Arizona on May 13, 2011, on her 26th birthday. Please rejoice in Katie's life at Thorpe Park, 245 Thorpe Rd., Flagstaff, AZ from 6-9pm Friday.
