Kathryn Luck Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Mar. 16 to Mar. 21, 2023.
Kathryn (Kathy) Elaine Luck passed away peacefully at home on March 14, 2023 surrounded by her family. Kathy was born in Port Angeles, Washington on October 9, 1959 to John and Norma Somers. She attended Port Angeles High School and Washington State University. Kathy studied abroad in Bonn, Germany where she met her husband of 38 years, Christopher Luck. They settled with their five children in South Pasadena, California in 1996.

Kathy loved to have fun, filling her life with her family, work, and many projects. She enjoyed traveling (she set foot on all seven continents), hiking (a two-time Camino de Santiago hiker), sewing (a hobby she picked up from her mom), and playing board games. She loved the outdoors and relished her childhood memories at her family's cabin on Lake Sutherland. She was passionate about her faith, which sustained her during her battle with cancer.

She is preceded in death by her parents, John and Norma Somers; and her brother, Mike Somers. She is survived by her husband, Christopher Luck; her five children, Claudia, Anneliese, Josephine, Gregory, and Maxwell Luck; her grandson, Levon Luck Fleming; and her siblings, Karen Joner, Jim Somers, and John Somers.

I have Kathy's name on my calendar this week, I am sure you are all missing her so very much, I send you love and care! Kathy was an amazing cousin and so hospitable to all the Hippe clan from the Midwest when we came to visit the family in Port Angeles. She was also an amazing caretaker for her parents, and a joy to be around. God Bless the memory of Kathryn Luck!

Dear Chris, dear Luck Family.
We are near to you all and we will keep Kathy in our memories as one of the most positive and most kind women we meet. We will always remember the 2 times we spent together in Greece.
We will keep her in our hearts.
