Kathy Knowlton Obituary

Kathy (Kate) Lynn Dachenhausen Knowlton

Sept 17, 1955 to Jan 19, 2011

On January 19, 2011 Kate lost her two year long battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease).
Her family and friends take peace that she is with her Lord and free from the pain and physical restraints of a horrific and unforgiving disease.
She is survived by her husband, Bruce Knowlton; her loving sister in law, Rebecca Knowlton; her parents, Larry and Jean Marie Dachenhausen; three brothers, Rick, Scott and Charles; sister, Robin; and her beloved pets, Abby, Boogey, Bear, Angie and Natalie; and numerous other family members, too great in number to mention because, with Kate, if she met you once, you were welcomed as family.
Kate attended Seaview Elementary, Lynnwood Jr. High and Pilchuck High School in the state of Washington. Kate was an Arizona licensed realtor and worked for Century 21 Foothills.
Her family and close friends will be celebrating her life April 8, 2011, beginning with memorial services 11 a.m. at the Calvary Chapel in Queen Creek Arizona, where Kate enjoyed living for the past 10 years.
In lieu of flowers memorials may be made to the ALS Foundation.

Kathy, It's so hard to believe you are gone, even though we haven't seen each other in so long. You were the kind of person that someone could never forget. We had such fun times in school and your laugh and smile were always contageous. God has gained a wonderful, bright angel. Rest well my friend. No more pain. Love you forever, Shawna
