Kathryn Rose Patch, lovingly known as Kathy, was born on May 5,1953, in Eureka, California, and passed away peacefully on October 18,2025, in Hammond, Oregon, surrounded by love.
Kathy was a woman of warmth, creativity, and adventure. She had a deep love for the ocean and found joy in deep sea fishing, painting, and crafting the many beautiful nicknacks she made by hand. Her spirit was one of curiosity and courage - she loved to travel, explore, and embrace every new experience that came her way. More than anything, Kathy cherished her family. She is survived by her devoted husband, Dave; her loving children, Dannielle (Jason), and Robert (Melissa); her treasured grandchildren, Austin(Courtanie), Haven(Zach), Danny, Rylee, Faith, and Emily(Creek) and her precious great-grandchildren, Casper Rae and Charlie Rose. She was preceded in death, by her parents, Chuck and Ellen Sanders. Her Two brothers Dennis (Jeanne), Pat (Cheryl). Her Father and Mother- in - law Dan and Joan Patch and her nephew SGT. Schuyler Patch. Each one held a special place in her heart, and she in theirs. Her family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Lower Columbia hospice, especially Simon, whose comfort and care helped guide Kathy peacefully through her final journey.
A service to celebrate Kathy's beautiful life will be announced at a later date. Her family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude for the love and support received during this time. Though she may be gone from our sight, she will forever remain in our hearts.
Contributions can be made in Kathy's name, to Patchy's Toy Drive or to Warrenton Senior Center Kathy will be remembered for her laughter, her kindness, and her gentle reminder through life's hardest moments that "this too shall pass"
