Katha Louise was a very creative and artistic young lady.

Katha had a pretty rough upbringing. Her Father was fighting in WW2 and her Mother wasn’t available to the children.
Katha never took away from her own and how she loved each one individually. A truly remarkable woman with so much wisdom, bright humor and guidance to pass on. She welcomed everyone in her home for a home-cooked meal and a good conversation. Loved all her grandchildren dearly.
Katha was very spiritual and enjoyed nature, she was giddy with appreciation for all of God’s wonders. Would wave and say hello to the sun everyday and thunderstorms brought her great comfort.
