Katherine was born September 1, 1940 in Arlington, Texas and was a

was a graduate of Birdville High School where she was valedictorian of

her graduating class in 1957.

and a half later they were married in 1962. They spent 59 loving years

together. They were blessed with two children, Greg and Traci, and 4

grandchildren, Mitchell, Katy, Nikki and Mandi. Katherine spent many

years working in HR. She began her career at Southwestern Bell, then

moved with her family to Denver, Colorado where she worked for AT&T.

She decided to take an early retirement in 1990 when she and her

family moved to Tucson, Arizona.

Eventually their family made their way back to Texas in 1993 and that

is where they planted their roots. Katherine’s church home was New

World United Methodist Church, where she was a devoted member for many

years. Katherine passed away Monday, November 30, 2020.

loved her slot machines! But even more than that, she loved her

family. She dedicated her life to her husband, children and

grandchildren. She was a kind and giving person, and she had a life

well lived. She will be very missed.
