Kathy Humphries Obituary
She was born Dec. 6, 1956, at Sturgis Hospital.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Joan Reeg; her father, Jac Reeg; and a brother, Jeff Reeg.
She is survived by her husband, Jeff Humphries; children Jaclyn, Daniel and Karissa; grandchildren; and many close relatives and friends who she truly valued.
Kathy graduated from Sturgis High School in 1975, then attended Glen Oaks Community College and became an LPN.
On Sept. 25, 1977, Jeff and Kathy married at the Bible Chapel in Sturgis.
Kathy lived her life loving her family, pets, being a nurse and loving anything to do with band. She was a band member in high school and always very involved when her children were in band as well. She valued her memories and didn't seem to forget anything. It was one of her favorite things to sit down and share stories. She will be greatly missed.

Kathy was a part of my Kindergarten class at Fawn River. I later had her daughter, Karissa, in my Kdgn. class at Congress School. In these later yrs.( I'm retired and 87 yrs. young! ) We connected on FB, and kept up with what was going on in our lives. She was so brave through her illness and always so upbeat! A special memory --- her mother gave a wonderful Easter party at their home for the kdgn. class at Fawn River! We walked through the fields to their house and her father dressed in a bunny suit and had hidden eggs along the way for the children! What fun!! My prayers to her family during these difficult days. God Bless!!
