KATHERINE MOBLEY Obituary

Kathy Mobley, our cherished wife, daughter, sister, aunt and beloved friend, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Friday, December 25, 2015. She was blessed to have her family and friends surrounding her the days before she went to her heavenly home. Born and raised in Fresno, CA, Kathy was a graduate of Roosevelt High School. She was married to her best friend, Jack Mobley, and together they owned and operated Fresno Fab Tech for many years. Jack and Kathy shared a love of serving the Lord. Kathy was a lifelong member of The First Church of God. Together they taught Sunday school for many years and shared a very strong faith. Kathy's goal was to witness her very strong faith to all those she came in contact with. Her love of Christ was first and foremost even during her illness. The Lord is her Shepherd. She will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. She was preceded in death by her adoring husband, Jack Mobley; her father and mother, Louis and Ann Doukas; and brothers, William and John. Kathy is survived by her dearly loved and ever faithful sister, Theodora Clifford. Dora was by her side all throughout her wonderful life and during her illness to the moment she went to her heavenly Father. Dora and Kathy, as loving daughters, took great care of their mother, our dear "Granny" until her passing in May of 2015. They are in the house of the Lord, together again. Kathy is also survived by many loving cousins, nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. Kathy is survived by the Mobley family, whom she loved so much. Kathy cherished her mother-in-law, Thelma Mobley; her brother-in-law and sister-in-law; and the many precious Mobley family members. Also surviving are her caring step-sons, their wives, and children. She is also survived by countless lifelong friends, so dear and close to her. Her cup runneth over with much love from so many. Her family is grateful for their love and friendship to our precious Kathy. Her family would like to thank all of her care providers from Hematology Oncology; and Saint Agnes Medical Center. A special thanks to Doctor Flam; and Kathy's dedicated nurse, Bill White, who gave her so much love and devotion during her long illness. We cannot thank them enough. A Celebration of Kathy's Life will be held at the First Church of God, 3920 N. First Street, Fresno, CA, on Saturday, January 9, 2016, at 11:00 a.m. Donations may be made in Katherine's name to the First Church of God. Please post your remembrances online.

Again, we remember "our sister" Kathy as the anniversary of her entering "paradise" approaches. Kathy was my neighbor for over 25 years, always loved to hear that unique laugh! Always gracious and lovely, even during those "hard" times. Love you Kathy and look forward to meeting you again, one of these days :)

Kathy was my mother's best friend when I was growing up. She spent a lot of time with our family and I remember her big, loving family. We spoke often during my mother's illness. She always had a big, loving personality. May she rest in peace. God bless her family.

My husband John and I were Kathy's neighbor for 25 years, she has always been a "bright spot" in our little community. Before Jack passed, they were ALWAYS together on the golf course and would always invite anyone to join them for a game. Kathy always had a warm and beautiful smile on her face and a cute little wave as she would drive by. We will miss her, but know that she and Jack are together again! We love you Kathy!!

I was privilged to be Kathie's treating Oncologist for 8 years.She was a most interesting, unique and lovely person.
Upon my retirement 2 years ago I transfered her medical care to a colleague. Nevertheless, Kathy frequently contacted me and my nurse, Bill White for advise and encouragement which we gladly provided.
This summer Kathy honored me by attending one of my singing concerts. She will be missed by myself and all that knew her.

Our daughter Dana Koetsier, now with our Lord in heaven was having a treatment at Hermatology Oncology in Fresno. At her first treatment Kathy introduced herself to Dana. Dana also being a Christian had a lot in common with Kathy. As a gift she gave Dana the devotion "Jesus Calling". Throughout the year of treatments Kathy was such a blessing to us and Dana. Dana passed in March, 2014 from cancer. As her parents along with her husband & 3 children we miss her so much. Kathy was a real comfort to us throughout the treatment period. Kathy's beautiful spirit both inside and out will be truly missed here on earth. Our sincere sympathy to her sweet sister and family. It's a great comfort to know Kathy is in the house of the Lord along with our loved ones. May comfort & peace be yours. Love, Corry and Jane Vanderham

There are not enough words in the dictionary nor hours in the day to define my precious life long friend. My world will change without her. She lives in my heart forever. You are pain free my darling,

I met Kathy years ago when Jack was part of the YMCA Cardiac Rehab program. We saw each other in various places over the years, lastly when she was getting radiation therapy at the same time my husband was. We visited a lot during that time. Kathy was one of a kind, always dressed beautifully she turned heads whenever she entered a room. She was beautiful inside and out. Always took time to stop and say hi and share her news and listened to mine. I know she was loved by many and she will be sorely missed. I also know that she is with her beloved Jack and the Lord now and is smiling and talking away sharing stories still. I feel blessed to have known her.
