Kathryn Janet Jarnagin, age 75, of Lebanon, passed away at her residence on Friday, August 29, 2025.
Born on October 29, 1949, in Carnegie, Oklahoma, Kathryn was the daughter of the late Joe Albert and Cora Lee (Wray) Jarnagin. As a mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend, she shared a quiet kindness that enriched the lives of those around her.
She is survived by her two sons, Robert (Kirsten) Kobbeman of Highland, IL, and Dominic (Sarah) Kobbeman of South Ogden, UT; four beloved grandchildren: Owen, Liam, Isaac, and Garrett Kobbeman; and two cherished relatives, her niece Terry McNea and great-niece Rebecca Bainbridge.
In addition to her parents, Kathryn was preceded in death by her two sisters, Betty (the late Tom) Brumley and June Fisher, whose husband Ray survives.
Kathryn was a faithful member of Fresh Start Community Church in Lebanon. A private memorial service will be held at a later date to honor her life and memory. Memorial donations may be given to Fresh Start Community Church or the Lebanon Library.
The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to friends and neighbors for their support and kindness in helping Kathryn day in and day out.
She will be missed and fondly remembered by all who knew and loved her.
