Kathy was born on July 12, 1949 in Sioux City, Iowa to Martin and Roberta Wilde. She married Vince Henrichsen in 1967, and together they shared three daughters, Carrie, Brenda, and Kristi.

In 2020, Kathy married Al Lewis. Together they enjoyed golfing, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. Their time together was filled with laughter, companionship, and love.

Kathy loved nothing more than having her family come home to Sioux City. She planned delicious meals and cookouts, always making sure everyone’s favorite dish was on the table. She filled their visits with fun—card games around the table, summer whiffle ball in the backyard, water balloon fights, and scavenger hunts. Kathy especially loved taking her grandchildren shopping, each one cherishing their special time with “Nana.”

When family wasn’t in town, Kathy could often be found hosting friends, whether for a simple get-together or a full-blown celebration. Her home was always filled with laughter, good food, and the warmth of her generous spirit.

Kathy was a talented hairdresser for over 45 years. Her clients became dear friends — truly an extension of her family. She had a gift for making people feel beautiful inside and out, and her salon chair was often a place of laughter, stories, and comfort.

She was a devoted mother, proud grandmother, and loyal friend. Kathy cherished time spent with Al, her daughters and grandchildren, finding joy in family gatherings, good conversation, and simple moments together.

Kathy is survived by her devoted husband Al; her loving daughters and their families, Tim and Carrie Azure of Wessington Springs, South Dakota; Brenda McNaughton of Orange County, California, and Justin and Kristi Point of Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Grandchildren: Celine & Montague Azure, Brady & Gabrielle McNaughton, and Georgia & Miles Point. Along with Al’s children, Rachel Lewis of Kalamazoo, Michigan; Jennifer Lewis of Bozeman, Montana; Josh Lewis of Norwalk, Iowa; and Zach Lewis of Lawton, Iowa, she spoiled all 8 of his grandchildren like her own and they share fond memories of playing games and arm wrestling with her.

Kathy’s legacy of love, laughter, and kindness will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Kathy was preceded in death by her parents and brother Lon Wilde.
