Katheryn was born October 30, 1934 in Merryville, LA to Earl and Bonnie Perry Cagle. On June 20, 1953, she married Charles Schwenneker and together they raised their two children, Karen and Greg, in Lake Charles, LA. She retired from Entergy and was a member of the First Baptist Church in Moss Bluff.
Katheryn was devoted to her family, loved taking family vacations and cruises, and was always there for her friends and loved ones. She was a great role model in both her personal and work life. When she wasn’t outside working in the yard or with her flowers, she may be inside sewing, cooking, reading a good mystery novel, or chatting over freshly brewed coffee. She also loved birds and discovering antiques or forgotten finds. While Katheryn enjoyed many things and lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures, her greatest passion was her family and she will be greatly missed
.
Those left to cherish her memory are her husband Charles Schwenneker; her daughter Karen Schwenneker O’Bryan of Texas City, TX; her son Greg Schwenneker and wife Melissa of Lake Charles, LA; her four grandchildren, Kari O’Bryan Norlander and husband Gavin, Kenna O’Bryan Pruitt and husband Jeremy, Rachel Schwenneker, and Jonathan Schwenneker; her three step-grandchildren, Davi Haguette, Erika Haguette, and Natalie Gray; her four great-grandchildren, Lori King Wood and husband Dennis, and triplets, Madalyn, Conrad, and Kadence Pruitt; and her one great-great-grandchild Dennis Ray Wood IV. She is preceded in death by her parents and two brothers, Earl Wayne and Jack Cagle.
A private family graveside memorial will be held as soon as circumstances can accommodate. Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.hixsonfuneralhomes.com for the Schwenneker family.
