Kathy Kellogg Obituary
Kathy and her husband Charles (Chuck) had a first date that never ended and were married for 51 years. Kathy moved in with Chuck after a unique first date to the horse races in a VW van and the family often jokes that Kathy was so beautiful that Chuck knew he needed to act fast to lock that down. They then had Jason, 50, of Berryton, KS and Julie, 46, of Shawnee, KS. Family was the most important thing to Kathy and they were the center of her world.
Kathy touched so many lives and was truly one of the kindest, caring, friendly and non-judgmental people you'd ever meet. She wanted to know everyone's story and encouraged others to love and welcome people in at all costs. The support the family has felt from family, friends, the motocross community and beyond is truly awesome.
Kathy is survived by her husband, Chuck, son Jason (Sarah) Kellogg, daughter Julie (Grady) Breithaupt, grandchildren Taylor, Evan, Mia, Reese, a number of relatives she was very close with and a beloved cat that requires very specific food flavors, Kokomo.
Kathy was preceded in death by her Mother, Wanda McCord, her grandparents and several other family, friends and pets we know she's excited to see again.
A visitation will be held Thursday, October 9 from 5-7 p.m. and services will be Friday, October 10 at 10:30 a.m. Both will be held at the Lecompton United Methodist Church.
In lieu of flowers, memorials suggested to Lawrence Humane Society. barnettfamilyfh.com

KATHY
It was 1965 when I met my soon to be sister Kathy & Mom, Wanda in Hutchinson at their farm. Kathy took me for my 1st horseback ride that day, I was 7 & she was 13. It was the first of many firsts for us both. Our parents soon married that fall & it rocked her world yet made us draw & bond to each other. We were a family of 6 now although my oldest sister Gwen went to college that fall. We moved to Washita, OK. Kathy left Grandma & Grandpa Enoch ( her safe place), her horse Ginger & the farm in Hutchinson. I gained a sister, mom & grandparents. In her rebellion of this move..she would say to me at night, (as we shared a room) to be quiet..I will be back & sneak out the window! My dad nailed the screen on several times!! I learned what grounded meant!! Occasionally while our parents were on a date night I got to lay down in the back seat of her boyfriend´s car & drag through Anadarko, OK. & get a pop at the drive-in. My brother Ron (1 year older than her) caught us..but didn´t tell! Her boyfriends & my brothers friends would tickle & toss me around & I felt special. Kathy always protected me! When we moved to Lawrence I was in 4th grade & Kathy in High School. We both loved Lawrence & I still do. We witnessed Black Power movement & many Hippie protests in the late 60´s & 70´s. Daisy´s were her favorite flower & she painted them on many things, the Sun lamp was a good way to tan until she fell asleep! Ouch! Again the sneaking out was her favorite or a good party when the parents went out of town! There was always a boy w/o a date & we would bake cookies or make popcorn balls! Kathy graduated LHS & I finished 7th grade at Central Jr High & we got transferred again to Broken Arrow, OK. My brother was in college & sister Gwen was working in Dallas. Kathy finished dental hygienist school in KS. She would visit in OK. & would allow me to sneak out a few times! She took me out one day in mom´s 1969 Mercury Marquee! It had a hood ornament on it & she said put that hood ornament on the white line on the side of the road & go straight...you will be fine! I still drive that way with confidence! After meeting Chuck, Gwen & I rode the bus to be in their wedding in Lawrence..I kept that dress a long time! Dad transferred again to Longview, TX. In between my Jr & Sr year. I got my first car, a Camaro with a CB Radio & begged to roadtrip to KS by myself! When I got to Lecompton I got the full Perry Lake experience! Speed boat, 2 person sail boat (wind died & Tom passed out & I swam us in) again I was entertained as Kathy´s little sister! I didn´t make curfew that night & Chuck wasn´t pleased & Kathy Laughed!! We always stayed in communication even when kids & life got busy. We even managed to take Julie & Jessica to Cancun after High School graduation. It was easy to spot the Blonde Girls Dancing from our perch !! I did my best to get to see mom in Lawrence & Kathy would stop by to see me. We saw each other more often as mom´s health declined & she passed. While making arrangements we discovered her dad & my mother died on the same road the same year 1964 about a month apart! I came to visit a little over a year ago & it was another night for the books: Kathy driving us to The Pub & Chuck & I had a beverage & then home to sit on the deck and reminisce & laugh until we cried. We buried old wounds that night & shared our secrets & burdens of growing up in our family of 6! I have been blessed to have the love of Kathy for 60yrs & I will treasure ALL the memories! Chuck, Jason, Sarah, Taylor & Evan, Julie, Grady, Mia & Reese I pray this order of your names daily & have for years. I will continue to pray for you all! Your family bond is a special love many don´t have & you all are witness´s to those you meet!
Our hearts on earth are broken.
Many words are left unspoken.
Yet we celebrate the smile on your face as Jesus receives you in His embrace.
I Will See You Again Sister! Debbie Cole

So sorry for your loss. Kathy was a wonderful person I always enjoyed talking with her when our girls were cheerleaders in Middle school. She was always so kind.
