Kathryn Diana Carlson

Dallastown - With deepest sorrow we announce the passing of Kathryn (Kate) Diana Carlson, 52, on Friday, June 11, 2021. Those who knew Kate, even for a day, saw the beauty in her smile and the reward of her instant friendship. She believed in angels and miracles, the good in all people and the need to protect every animal.

Raised in York, Pa, Kate attended Dallastown HS (Grad. 1986) where she enjoyed singing in the choir and leading the marching band. She then studied English at Rollins College in Winter Park, FL. Kate stayed in Florida to work for several years at Universal Studios as an Alfred Hitchcock Stage Host. Kate's love for singing and country music led her to work at radio stations across the country, from Nashville to Arizona. Kate had a deep spiritual connection with angels, and upon returning to York, pursued a career as a spiritual advisor.

Kate loved watching Hallmark Channel movie marathons, hiking in the Pennsylvania woods with her best friends, nurturing her dear horse Autumn Joy and loving and caring for every feral cat that came her way. Kate's infectiously positive and loving nature gave her the gift of many friends that became part of her family, namely her soul sisters, Bev and Bonnie. Kate is survived by her siblings; James Carlson, Robert Carlson, Jennifer Gale and Terry Stewart Jr., and her stepmother, Linda Carlson.

This world lost an angel walking among us on June 11th. Kate lifted others up and always championed their causes. Her light will continue to shine bright in those who know and love her.

A celebration of Kate's life will take place on August 1, 2021 at Wyndridge Farm, 885 S. Pleasant Avenue, Dallastown at 5:30 pm, with a reception to follow.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made in Kate's honor to: Animal Rescue, Inc (www.animalrescueinc.org).
