Kathleen Claycomb Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 2, 2025.
Kathleen Sue (Kathy) Claycomb passed peacefully to Heaven on March 10, 2025. Kathy was known by all for her sweet smile and her kind, loving personality.

While very accomplished in her marketing career, and a leader in Soroptimist, she would say that her passion and greatest accomplishment in life was her family. Her love and dedication to each family member was felt deeply by all who love and miss her.

Kathy is survived by her husband, Tom, as well as daughters Cindy Claycomb (Michael), Tommie Hawthorne (Willie) and Rebecca Heartfly. She will be greatly missed by grandchildren Elena (Jonathan), Elise (Purti), Kristine (Kaal), Jesse (Megan), Carli, Kelsey, and Mikey, plus six great grandchildren. She was dearly loved by brother Ken Carl (Becky), sister-in-law Becky Bond (Mike), and many other friends and family. Kathy was preceded in death by her mother Rebecca, father Bill and brother Don.

A private celebration of life will be held by close family and friends. She will live on forever in our hearts and we will try to keep her positive and fun-loving spirit alive in everything we do.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Grandma was the kindest person I´ve known. It was amazing to have her at my wedding in Hawaii.

Grandma was kind hearted and a joy to be around. Such an amazing woman and the life of the party. Always singing, dancing, and playing games. I will always cherish our visits and sleepovers and all the fun we had. Love you grandma!

Grandma Kathy was one of the kindest, smartest women I´ve ever known. I can´t even count how much she´s done for me, let alone others. So many awesome memories. I love and miss her so much, and I can´t wait to see her again someday.
