Kathryn Annette "Kathy" Horgen

Kathryn "Kathy" Annette Horgen passed away peacefully on November 6th, 2025. She was born on January 24, 1946, in Bellingham, Washington, to Arthur and Minnie Jones. Kathy attended the Meridian School District and married the love of her life, Art Horgen, on June 14, 1963. Together, they made their home in Lynden, Washington.

Kathy worked hard throughout her life, selling Avon and cleaning homes, all while raising her family. She enjoyed traveling with the Dixieland Band, where Art played, and loved going on cruises and long road trips. Some of her favorite pastimes included reading, picking berries, making lefsa every Christmas, and canning pickles and vegetables each summer from Art's garden. Kathy loved to knit and crochet and made many baby blankets over the years.

Kathy was known for her straightforward nature and generous heart. She loved second-hand stores and could never resist a good shopping trip. Most of all, she found joy in caring for her family-always cooking, baking, and helping her kids and grandkids whenever they needed her.

She is survived by her husband, Art Horgen; her sons, Rob (Jill) and Garett (Beth); her daughter, Tammi (Mark); her brother, Dennis Jones; six grandchildren; three great-grandchildren, with one on the way; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Minnie and Arthur Jones; her brothers, David and Harold Jones; and her sister, Janice Myers.

Services will be held in the Spring of 2026.
