She liked the wide-open spaces and was a farm girl at heart, but once she saw the Rocky Mountains she knew she was “home” with her husband Peter, of 73 years she raised a family of 5 children and rose above life's many challenges along the way, her deep faith giving her strength and solace.Katie rejoiced in simple pleasures, time with family, good friends, and good food. She was a beauty inside and out.

 

Katie left a legacy of laughter, memories, family, and love.

Mom, in the future we will look to Heaven and find your guiding star.
