Kathryn F. Thompson

1932 - 2025

Kathryn F. Thompson, 92, of Argos, IN, went to be with her savior, Jesus Christ, on Saturday, June 14, 2025, peacefully in her home.
Kathryn was born to Robert and Ethel (Rhoads) Walters on Nov. 18, 1932 in Argos, IN. She graduated from Richland Center in 1950 and then attended Business School in South Bend, IN. She married Jack Thompson on Oct. 10, 1954. They had seventy wonderful married years together. She is best known as an impressive homemaker, wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Kathryn found joy in the company of her big, loving family, especially her many cousins, nieces, nephews, and generations of greats. She shaped the heart of her community-a member of Parkside Community Church of Argos, Friends of the Argos Public Library, Whippoorwill Ladies Aide, Marshall County Chorus for 50 years, Missionary Review Society, Argos Fair Board, Walnut Ruralettes Home Ec. Club, Bluebird Leader, Cub Scout Den Mother, and Church Secretary. Her hobbies were abundant- sewing, gardening, baking pies, watching her hummingbirds, socializing, and supporting Argos sports and music. She will be remembered by her radiant smile and contagious laughter-beautiful reflections of a life lived to the fullest.
