Kathy Huck Obituary
Kathy was born in Chicago, IL to Jacqueline 'Jackie' Kay Van Ommering and Clement Huck on February 9, 1962 and raised in Amberg, WI, where she graduated from Wausaukee High School. She then moved to Milwaukee in 1982, where she worked at Kohl's Food Store and as a bank teller downtown at the Mason St. branch of M&I / BMO Bank for 30 years.
Kathy had a frisky sense of humor, and will be remembered for her kind spirit and laugh. She always offered a listening ear and motherly advice to those who needed her. She loved a good adventure, and even better, a story to tell. She cared for her cats, Comet and Kiki, and her parakeets. She spent her last years traveling to new places with her daughter and her friends. Kathy was cherished by many in her life and will be remembered for the love and warmth she gave to those around her. Milwaukee -

I am glad that the last time I went to the Central Branch I went to see her at Mason Street. I tried to sneak by a couple times but couldn't. My sister's last name is Kluck so my Deposit and Withdrawal Receipts always said KlHuck. That is how I remembered my banking transactions. Now I have to develop a whole new system.
Thank You Kathy,
In God We Trust brings me a whole new meaning.

The thing I will miss most about Kathy is definitely her joking personality. We all had so many inside jokes with Kathy, our favorite one being her love for "potatas". Kathy was super dedicated to her work, but would never shy away from a good time. She sure did love her Titos.
Im happy to have been able to be a part of her M&I/BMO story. Kathy will be so very missed.

I have so many memories of Kathy over the 18+ years that I worked with her at M&I/BMO. I will miss her sense of humor, her love of her pets, the joy she found with her customers and so much more. There is definitely no one like Kathy. All of her "little potatas" hold a special place for her in our hearts. We miss you dearly.

My favorite memory of Kathy is when I got to be her secret Santa at work. The whole branch filled out a list of what they´d like from their "secret Santa", and Kathy´s list had a theme- potatoes. She´d like Potato chips and vodka, ect, and if you ever worked with Kathy, you know that she called cash "potata´s". I can still hear her saying "Let me just put away these potata´s". Anyway, I went overboard with her potato themed gift, and by the time she finished opening the last potato whole branch was crying with laughter. It´s one of the most fun gifts I ever gave someone, and I think the best part was the way we all laughter so much together.

Kathy was my best friend. The loss was immense for me. I think of her everyday. I have a lot of Kathy all around my house, including her birds. We were coworkers to start and sisters we became. We shared many good and bad times. Laughed and cried. Sat by the fire, which she really loved to do. She will be missed. Farewell my friend.

Today (1/13/26), I was so sorry to learn of Kathy's death, when I asked a teller at the Mason Street BMO Bank if "the blond lady" still worked there. I was shocked to hear she passed away, and I felt so sad that I will no longer see her there. I did not even know her name, but she was so friendly when she waited on me, and always gave me a wave from across the room when another teller helped me. My sympathies to her family and friends.

Kathy was such a great girl in school. She was so fun and so sweet she didn´t have a mean bone in her body. We stayed in touch through out the years. Even took a trip to Branson together with her daughter. It was a nice reunion. one picture with her and her daughter. It´s my very favorite picture of the two of them together. Kathy, you are sorely missed.
