WEBSTER CITY, IA - Kathy Heller of Webster City, IA, passed away peacefully on the eve of her 77th birthday with her family by her side.
Kathy was born March 6, 1946, to Jack Jordan and Ruth Littlejohn Jordan. On September 4, 1964, she married George H Heller in Madison, WI. Against all odds, these two teenagers built a life, a family, a successful business, and traveled the world together for 58 years.
Kathy will be remembered for her smile, generosity and fierce loyalty to friends and family.
She is survived by her husband, George; daughter, Elizabeth (Tony) Briotta; daughter, Jeanne Heller; grandchildren: Jackson (Katie), Madeline (Jake), Mollie (Hssine), Georgeanne and Gabriel; and great-grandchildren: Lucian, Finnley and Zayne.
She was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Michael Jordan; and granddaughter, Analee.

So sad that Kathy's life was cut short. I worked for Kathy and her husband George for almost 20 years. They were more like family to me and I will always miss them....RIP

There is a hole in my heart. I know that Kathleen would have stayed if she could, she certainly gave it her all! I am so thankful for this little sister who was also one of my best friends. We shared so much, growing up together, raising our children, time, and for me: advice on hair and clothing! We could share our private giggles, we had an understanding! I will always have a place for her in my heart. Mary Beth
