Katherine was a proud mother of her three sons and their spouses and a loving grandmother to her grandchildren. She shared a special bond with her twin sister, Evangeline Neese.

A special thank you to her caregivers, Christine, Frances, Dolores, Janie, Letty, Lupita and for Lisa who devoted much time to her as a special friend.

I am so sorry to see in the paper about your mom. I have some fond memories back in the 50's with our families. My dad Leland sends his sympathy also. Debbie Busch Bauer.

My deepest condolences to all the family of Katherine. I first met her in the 50s when we worked together at Flynn Investment. She was the most caring mother, sister, and friend to many. It was truly a joy to work with her.
