It is with profound sadness and grief, we share the loss of our dear mother, Kathryn, on March 1, 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada. She was born in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, graduated from Mitchell High School, and received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education from College of St. Mary’s in Omaha, Nebraska. Kathryn moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in 1962 where she taught second grade for thirty years in the Clark County Public School System. Kathryn loved her students, and remained in touch with many of them throughout the years. She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Ralph and Irene Fitzekam, a brother-in-law, Gordon Ryan, and a nephew, Greg Ryan. Kathryn is survived by her children, Jerry Jancik, Gina Jancik and Jennifer Martin, and her grandson, Garett Martin. Also, surviving are her siblings, Phyllis Ryan, Mary Ann Corder (Troy), and Ralph Fitzekam (Julie), as well as, many nieces and nephews who loved her dearly. Kathryn drew strength, inspiration and love through her Catholic faith.
