Kathy "Poulette" Baldridge

Kathy 'Poulette' Baldridge, age 73, of Porter, Texas, passed from this life into eternal life with her Savior on November 4, 2025, surrounded by loved ones.
Kathy was born on October 15, 1952, in Crowley, Louisiana, the second child of Gilbert Luke Trahan and Mable Joyce Hayes. At the age of one, her family moved to Texas. After several years in Deer Park, the family settled in Porter, Texas, in the summer of 1966, where she quickly became part of the close-knit community and formed many cherished, lifelong friendships.
In 1976, Kathy married Donald Ray Baldridge, Sr., blending their two families and welcoming one daughter together. They remained devoted to each other until his passing in 2021. Over the years, Kathy remained very active, playing softball weekly with community friends, joining bowling and volleyball leagues, and coaching her daughter's ball teams. She loved spending time with her family. Sunday dinners and visits to Louisiana to see her aunts and cousins were always a special time for her.
Kathy retired from the United States Postal Service after 25 years of service. She later partnered with a dear friend to open a resale shop in Porter, where she found joy in serving her customers and making new friends.
In April 2016, at the age of 64, God graciously saved her. She was baptized and became a member of Key Life Fellowship in New Caney. From that moment on, her faith deepened as she grew to love her Savior more and more. She cherished her church family, who held a very special place in her heart.
She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband.
