Kathleen Ann "Kathy" Engstrom

Kathy was always a gracious and thoughtful person. We enjoyed many family dinners and holiday celebrations with her. Garry, we are so sorry and wish you peace and clarity as you map out your next steps in the coming days and years.

I first met Kathy in 5th grade and we became best friends. She will always be that for me. I just wish we could have kept in contact but life took us in different directions. I will always have the memories of growing with her. Lots of horseback rides with Honey and Mariah.

Aunt Kathy was always like a big sister to me. I used to watch her get ready to go out on dates, do her hair and nails just so. Love spending time with her and uncle Gary, going out to eat and miniature golf late at night was always so much fun. She was always so kind to me. I will miss her greatly.

I´ll remember Aunt Kathy as cheerful and kind, always asking people about themselves with genuine interest. She made me feel special. When I was a young girl I admired her perfectly styled hair and her gorgeous nails. Her style lives on through her gifts of generosity. Fondly and With Love, Niece Gina (McKeever) Loza, daughter of Curt & Lori

Kathy was a good person and we shall miss her very much.

From the comfort of her home, Kathy spoke with her sister ( Lynn ) and her brothers ( Curt, Jim, Dan ) by phone. She passed on news of the tribe to everyone. Kathy´s voice united the McKeever clan, a vital link in keeping the family together. Lori, wife of Curt

Garry's parents had a vacation cabin in Blue Lakes Springs near Arnold CA that had a toboggan. Jack remembers that one winter there was ~2 feet of fresh dry snow on a clear sunny day, and we all went outside and played in the snow. Kathleen, usually in a wheelchair, was placed in the toboggan with young niece Ashley and they joyfully slid down about 20feet to a safe landing. Everyone was happy.

Kathy was always ready with a smile and she had a bright and cheery personality. We loved our family get togethers. She will be missed.
