Kathryn will be greatly missed in her dialysis community. She was the first patient to arrive in the morning greeting everyone as they came in. She shared her love of music, she played everything from Big Band, Jazz, Rock and Classical every morning, she got our day started. I will miss the stories about her life adventures, amazing recipes and the 2 Werthers Original candies she snuck me each day. She was a legend and I am so sorry for your loss.

Kitty was the sweetest and kindest person and friend. She was so positive no matter what she was enduring in her health. Her culinary skills, especially in baking, were enjoyed by so many of us and she was very generous to share all of her baked goods. Kitty never met a stranger and she made everyone feel welcome and like a best friend. I always looked forward to seeing her and her beautiful smile and I will miss her.

We are so sorry to learn of Kathryn’s passing and your family will be in our prayers. Randy and I met Kathryn and Tom at the dialysis center and greatly enjoyed getting to know them. Kathryn was always so positive and upbeat and shared recipes and websites (the Decorah eagles) with us. She was the reason Randy liked to arrive early at dialysis and he treasured the visits. She was a wonderful woman and we were grateful to know her!

Our family has lived next door to Kitty and Tom for 35 years, Kitty was not only our neighbor but also one of our dearest friends. She was an excellent cook and nothing made our family happier than a call from Kitty to "meet her at the fence." This meant she was sharing something delicious that she had just taken out of the oven. I will miss talking with her and our special times together. We will miss Kitty dearly and our hearts go out to Tom and family. Glenna, Howard and Kimberly

Kathryn I will miss our conversations. I had been doing your hair for years and every time you had to tell me how not to cut it. You are a ray of sunshine and you always told me to be nice to my husband because one day he may have to take care of me. I will miss you every 5 weeks for your appointment.
