Katheryn Ginavan Obituary
Katheryn L. Ginavan, born on October 9, 1932, in Brownington, Missouri, passed away on August 9, 2025.
She was a caring and loving mother who dedicated her life to her family and community.
Katheryn is survived by her three of her four children: Tom Ginavan (Terri), Joe Ginavan (Dana), Kathy Ginavan; 7 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. She was a proud mother who greatly enjoyed watching her children and later grandchildren play sports. Her love for family was evident in every aspect of her life.
In addition to her devotion as a mother, Katheryn was an avid reader and had a special fondness for solving crosswords. After her retirement, she became a proud member and volunteer for the Red Hats, a group she cherished dearly.
Katheryn was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Ginavan, and her son, Robert Ginavan III. Katheryn's warm spirit and caring nature touched the lives of many, and she will be remembered fondly by all who knew her.
