Kathryn Hamrick Obituary

Kathryn L. Hamrick

Kathryn Louise Hamrick, 92, of Bowling Green died Sunday, April 14, 2013.

She was born in Selinsgrove, Pa. She is survived by her beloved husband of 64 years, Jack; daughter Linda Hamrick; and her sisters, Betty Snyder of Illinois and Virginia Smith of Florida.

Kathryn was very proud of her work as a stenographer for the American Association of Railroads. She assisted with troop movement during World War II.

As a young person she loved ice skating. In her later years she enjoyed homemaking, gardening and bike riding. She had a deep and lifelong appreciation for the beauties of nature. She often reminded others to soak in the majesty of a sunrise or sunset.

Kathryn's family extends their sincere appreciation to Elm Croft of Chesterfield, Greenfield of Spotsylvania, where "Miss Kay" was known to bring joy to the staff who cared for her, Hospice of Virginia and Chippingham Johnson Willis for the kindness and excellent attention she received while in their care.

A memorial service will be held at 7 p.m. Friday, April 19, at Storke Funeral Home in Bowling Green.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Wright's Chapel United Methodist Church, Box 193, Ladysmith, Va. 22501.

Online condolences may be sent at storkefuneralhome .com.
