Katherine Deutch Tatlock

She will always be missed.

My husband, David Bannister, was best friends with Chris Tatlock growing up in Summit New Jersey. They shared an apartment in Greenwich Village before he and Kathy got together. Chris was a groomsman in our wedding in 1965 and we saw them often when we were young marrieds in New York City. We heard her voice over in the new film on Martha Stewart and thought she might still be alive and decided to google her. We are living now in Rockport Maine, and we regret that we lost touch with her over the years, since we lived relatively close to her. What I remember most about Kathy was the great joy she expressed that radiated out to all who knew her. Lynn Bannister

This is an original piece of art that Kat made for me when I was born. It includes the text of Theodore Roethke's poem "The Waking" as well as her own wishes for me. I keep it hanging on the wall in my room. It's hard to get a good photo, but I tried!

Thanks to all who attended our celebration! More pics to come...

I have so many fond and funny memories of Kat. One of my favorite memories of Kat was when we talked about our crushes on Hollywood actors. I mentioned Clint Eastwood and noting that Barbara Walter's said he was the sexiest man she ever interviewed. Kat laughed and agreed, saying she had first hand experience and more so with Clint. Kat was such a light and I miss her dearly.

I´ve known Kathy my whole life being cousins who lived 2 blocks away and did everything as families. From a young age, I looked up to my beautiful & jovial cousin.

In Sawyer one summer I remember her styling my curly hair. She was so sweet & good natured. She also showed me how to file & shape my nails.
Later in life, we had yearly cousin visit where my cousins & I would go to lunch
reminisce about our families & laugh our heads off. Laughing was a big part of our visits.
Later on, we frequently spoke on the telephone.
I loved my spirited cousin.

Here ya go. One crazy wonderful pair. Love to all.

I will always remember her exuberant smile, infectious energy, and generosity of spirit. We had many good times and conversations in the backyard by the fire... She was a sweet, wild one. I loved it. XXOO, MJ

My first memory of my beloved Katruska was meeting her as she was working on the distribution of John Hanson and Rob Nilson´s wonderful and inspiring film, Northern Lights in 1979. I would say that we bonded immediately and permanently.

Unless I find myself "in the zone," I can be self-conscious in public speaking. One of the earliest memories I have of Kat is watching her speak, without notes, to the crowd of two hundred or so gathered to watch Northern Lights´ inaugural showing at a, sadly, now gone venue in Cambridge. She stood in front of the crowd full of vitality and commitment to the film and the integrity of its message.

Her beam made the audience glow in anticipation.
