Kathryn Chapman Beattie

I'm so sad to learn this news about Kathryn. I have called and left messages, and when I didn't hear back from her, I worried about her and just checked the Chilhowie obits. Kathryn and Clay were our next door neighbors and first close friends on Bronwood Rd in Richmond, and she became like a mother to me as a young mom myself. I cherished her friendship and learned so much from her. My heart goes out to all of you in her family--she was a jewel and I know you will sorely miss her. We...

It is with Sorrow that Kathy and I hear of the Passing of Kathryn. Our prayers to the family. During our time in Chilhowie she and the family were friends and customers of mine at Nat. Bank of Chilhowie. A fine Lady.

My deepest sympathy to Kathryn's family and friends. Her help in finding genealogical documentation of my husband's family was immeasurable and greatly appreciated. Her knowledge of Smyth and Washington Counties was immense. Her friendliness was genuine. My late husband and I saw her as a true Southern lady. She is one who God will certainly bless.

Kathryn was a wonderful lady. Long lost cousins who reconnected through DAR - she shared special memories of my grandmother's family growing up in Mathews, VA.

Gwen, Katie, and families
So sorry to know the passing of Mrs. Beattie, one of the finest ladies I have had the privilege to know! She was such an interesting person. I found myself looking forward to have her come to Curves. She always had an encouraging, positive word. She gave me a recipe for Sweet Potato Pecan Biscuits but I could not make them like she did!
Praying for peace and comfort in the coming days. Love

Katherine was a dear beloved friend. I helped her in her flower garden and with things that needed to be done around the house. I grew to love and appreciate her warmth, intelligence, and sense of humor. We shared many memories of our youth and life in general. She was a true inspiration to me in her love for life and her faith in God. I truly miss her.

We are so sorry to hear of Miss Katherine's passing. We loved her so much and shared a lot through our mutual interests in art, old homes and keeping the old from passing away. She will be missed by so many. Our Thoughts and prayers go to the family during this stressful time.
