Kathy was preceded in death by her parents; father- and mother-in-law: Richard and Annabel (Keller) Werner; a brother-in-law: Daniel Allcox; a sister-in-law: Ann Dougherty; and her cats: Pokey and Gumby.

A celebration of life for Kathy will be held from 1-4PM, on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at Waverly Beach Bar & Grille, N8770 Fire Lane 1, Menasha. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions are appreciated to the Appleton Humane Society.
