Katherine Lawrence, 94, died peacefully on January 11th 2022. Katherine affectionately known as KK, was born in St. Louis Mo. In her late teens and early twenties, she was a model in NYC. She then moved to Kansas City where she worked with Helzberg Jewelers. Shortly after moving to Denver, she had an unexpected knock on her door. When she opened the door, a tall, dark and handsome gentleman, holding a martini shaker and two glasses, introduced himself as her neighbor, and that was the beginning of what became a wonderful marriage to David F. Lawrence, who predeceased her in 1991.
KK loved to entertain and hosted numerous parties including her well known Zodiac Party. She was extremely active in fundraising for the Denver Art Museum and was instrumental in creating the Collectors Choice Gala, which was the premier annual event at the DAM. KK Loved the theater, the opera but most of all she loved the symphony performances at the Vail Music Festival, where she often sponsored the New York Philharmonic.
She is survived by her two children; Sally Lawrence & David Lawrence, Jr., her 5 grandchildren and her 2 great-grandchildren.
A Memorial service will be held June 10, 2022, 10 AM at The Mother of God Catholic Church with a Celebration of Life to be held thereafter, (11:30 AM) at the Denver Country Club.
