Kate was a shining light in the eyes of all that knew her. Her journey on earth was marked by the love for her family, friends & dogs. Kate could fill a room with joy and an infectious laughter. Her passing has left a void in her family, friends and all those touched by her. She asked that we not remember her for the illness with cancer. But instead, remember the way she lived prior to her year and a half battle and for the impact she had on others that had the pleasure of knowing her. She fought a long hard battle with dignity and courage and is now in the hands of her savior, Jesus Christ, and is free of pain and suffering.

Kate was a graduate of Clarkston High school. She graduated with honors from Oakland University to ultimately attain a successful position at General Motors as a Lean Process Lead. During her college and working career, she mentored many new team members to guide them through the start of their own careers. She enjoyed spending time with family on game nights, watching the Lions, boating, cook outs and hikes with Zach & her dogs. For relaxation, she would visit wineries throughout Michigan taste testing the various wines. She loved music & listened to it as she went through her day and treatments. She also loved making home improvements with her family. She truly cherished spending time with countless friends. Her friends were her tribe and they gave her happiness and fond memories that she carried with her during her battle.

Kate is survived by her parents Brian & Dana Clark, brother Tyler Clark, Fiancé Zach Lizenby, grandmother Sandra Geist and proceeded in death by her grandparents, Alfred Geist, Roy & Judy Clark. She also leaves behind her beloved dogs Maggie & Arya. Although Kate's physical presence may no longer grace our lives, her spirit will continue to inspire and uplift us. May her memory be a blessing and may we carry forth her legacy of love & compassion in all that we do. As she walks in Heaven with Jesus, her light will forever shine brightly in our hearts. Her family would like to thank her friends, neighbors and family for loving on her throughout her entire life and during her battle. She was supported with love and compassion which helped her fight with a purpose. Her family is grateful for all those who touched her life.
