Katelynn Dollar Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Katelynn was known for her vibrant spirit, infectious laughter, incredible kindness to others and her talents. She was a dedicated student at Creekview High School, where she excelled in academics and breaking 4 school records in cross country and track. She was particularly passionate about running, fitness, and mental health. Her photos were often showcased in top running forums and brought joy to everyone who saw them.
Beyond her academic and extracurricular pursuits, Katelynn made a profound impact on those around her. She was a loyal friend, a loving daughter and sister, and a compassionate member of her community. Her warmth and genuine interest in others touched countless lives.
She will be deeply missed by her parents Randy and Laura, her sibling, Sydney, and her many friends and extended family members.
A celebration of Katelynn's life will be held on Saturday, July 19 with visitation from 11:00am to 1:00pm followed by a memorial service at 1:00pm at Canton Funeral Home And Cemetery At Macedonia Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be sent to American Foundation for Suicide Prevention https://afsp.org/ be made in Katelynn's honor, a cause she deeply cared about.

I had the pleasure of photographing Katelynn for years for GA MileSplit. Our timing company, Fast Feet Timing, also had the honor of timing Katelynn at a few meets. She was always 2 minutes ahead of everyone else, she was literally unbeatable. I will forever admire her grit and sheer determination. She gave every race her all, and always had a smile on her face. She will be missed by all!

Sweet child. I am 66 yrs old. Four years ago I had horrific anxiety and depression (situational with genetic disposition). I woke up EVERY morning for months with my first thought being "oh no, another day. Here we go again " and complete terror and hopelessness. I realized then why people with CHRONIC depression/anxiety choose to end it. It is unbearable, exhausting and frightening. I am lucky to not have this as a chronic issue. God bless and give strength to those who do and can make it. I am so sorry it took you. My prayers to you and your family.

This fun, motivated, extremely athletic, and super smart girl was my childhood friend. I have many memories of us playing together, laughing, dancing, singing, and showing off our talents when we were elementary school aged. I hadn't seen her in many years, but the thought that she suffered so greatly the years she was older pains me. I will be praying. <3
