Kati Renea George, born on August 22, 1984, in Columbus, Ohio, passed away on December 25, 2024. Kati will be lovingly remembered for her vibrant spirit and the profound impact she made on those who knew her.
A devoted mother to her daughter, Karissa Vines, Kati poured her heart into nurturing and guiding the next generation. She is also survived by her mother, Tammy (Chris) Cicero, and her father, Craig (Shirley VanZant) George, both of whom cherished her deeply. Kati's brother, Andy (Micah McClurg) George, shares precious memories of growing up alongside her.
Kati had a special bond with her extended family, including her cousin Brandi (Jeff) Bateman, as well as her second cousins, Tyler and Caleb. Her aunt, Kelley (Karen) Sullins, and cousins Christopher and Travis Sullins held a significant place in her life.
An enthusiast of music, Kati's passions included attending festivals and concerts where she reveled in the melodies of her favorite bands such as Grateful Dead, Phish, Ekoostik Hookah, Tom Petty and many others. A lover of travel, she found joy in collecting crystals and exploring the essence of spirituality, while being an avid supporter of reiki practices.
Kati's life will be honored during visitation from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, followed by a Celebration of Life at 4:00 PM on January 12, 2025, at Newcomer Funeral Home, NW Chapel, located at 10051 Brewster Lane, Powell, Ohio 43065.
She leaves behind a love for her family and friends, and her presence will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
