Dear Gerry, Mark, and family,
Sorry to hear of the passing of Kathryn. She was a special lady to me. I truly enjoyed spending time with her and sharing Communion. She had a great faith in God. She always spoke highly of her family- children, grandkids and great-grandkids!

Gerry and Mark:
Needless to say, I loved your mom. Kathryn was my wonderful aunt who will be sorely missed. I loved talking with her every week, talking about old times with my mom (her sister Betty) and the rest of the family. God bless you. My prayers go with the family.

Gerry, Mark, and families,

So sorry to hear about your loss of your Mother and Grandmother. I have a lot of good memories with Aunt Kathryn especially at their house in Promise Land. She was a wonderful Aunt and always made me laugh. Heaven has gained another angel. Say hello to Uncle George, my Dad, and my Mother for me. Love you Aunt Kathryn!❤

Gerry, Mark and Family,
My heartfelt condolences and Deepest Sympathy to you and both your Families on the passing of your beloved Mother and Grandmother.
I will always remember her friendly smile and hearty laughter.
As a young child, I remember our parents getting together around Christmas or New Years, the Christmas Putz that your father would put up on Spring St. and yes, your Mother's laugh. She could always make my Mother laugh.
I also have fond memories of working on the same floor with her at Surefit during the summer of 1965 and how well she was liked by all the ladies working on the floor with her. She would always tease and play jokes on many of them, all in the spirit of fun.
She will be deeply missed by all of us that knew Her.
May she rest in Eternal Peace.

Gerry, Mark, and Families,
So sorry to hear about your Mom. Words can’t express what she meant to us. From the great times up at the cabin. When she was taking a 2 year old Jason in the basket of her bike, hit a bump and he flew out. Lol. Made Brooke go in the woods to go to the bathroom( she was mortified) and when I fell in the lake ( so I wouldn’t have to go to church) but she put my wet shorts in the oven to dry ( and scorched them with rack marks on them) and had to go anyway, to the great times at the manor being my assistant, cleaning up after activities. Miss you forever. Aunt Katherine I will see you when I get there. Your favorite niece, Debbie (LOL)

I met Kathryn long ago when she came in to our salon and I got to know her. All these years later, it is ironic that she ended up living at the place where I work! She was a sweet lady who always made us laugh! She will be missed.
