Katlyn was born on Friday, December 13, 2002, in Merriam, Kansas, the daughter of John and Audra (Brooks) Folsom. Katlyn graduated from Atchison High School in 2021 and then shortly after graduated from Highland Technical College in 2022 as a Diesel Tech. Katlyn was a jack of all trades and loved to try new things diving in with both feet. She enjoyed working out in the yard, making TikTok videos, playing with her animals, and hanging out with her friends. In her free time, she was working on writing a book. Katlyn was an entrepreneur and started Katy's Custom Designs in 2022 making tumblers, business cards, car decals, and everything in between.
Katlyn is survived by both her parents John and Audra Folsom, siblings Stephanie and Tristian Folsom, grandparents Nancy "Bonnie" Kubler, Steve Kubler, Sandy O'Brien, Gene Brooks, and Mary Folsom, numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins and fur babies Rain, Bloo, Mittens, and Tangerine. Katlyn is preceded by her twin siblings, grandparents Robert Sherman Folsom, Jr. and Larry Dean O'Brien and great-grandparents Victor Allen Erbe (Pa) and Christine Marie Erbe (Nana).
In honor of Katlyn's memory, the family requests that attendees wear happy colors for the visitation. This will celebrate her joyful spirit and bring warmth to the gathering. Thank you for helping to remember her in this special way.
