She was born October 1, 1910, in Indianapolis, Ind. the daughter of Roscoe and Edna Stout Ziegner.
Kathryn was a housewife for 61 years until her husband's death in August 1996. She was a wonderful mother, and together they raised two children, John and Judith. She and Ray kept home in Indianapolis until Ray's retirement, and then they built and kept their lovely home on Little Bass Lake, Six Lakes.
She was an accomplished artist and crafter in oil paintings and in the wonderful pinecone wreaths and Christmas Trees she made among other things. She was active in support of the local Lakeview Library.
Later in life, about 1999, after her husband's death and due to declining health, she moved to Olney, Ill. to be near her son John, his wife, two of their children and many of her great-grandchildren. Due to failing health and on the recommendation of her Doctor and the need for greater care then her son and his family could give her, she moved in March 2001 to a Nursing Home in her beloved Michigan, near her grandson Kevin and his family, where she was cared for and happy till her death.
She is sorely missed by her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and many many friends.
She was preceded in death by her husband Ray; her parents; a brother Paul; and two sisters, Dorothy and Betty.
A Private graveside service will be held Friday at Hillcrest Cemetery, Six Lakes, with the Rev. Rolla Timmons officiating.
The Family is being served by Stebbins-Mccullough Chapel, Edmore, Michigan.
