Katherine Marie Kurzenski

Gardena, California, surrounded by her loving family.

Katherine was born in Taft, California, to Ed and May Eggert. From the very beginning,

family and faith were at the heart of her life. A devoted Catholic, she lived her faith daily

through love, kindness, and deep devotion to those around her.

Katherine’s greatest joy was her family—especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren,

who were truly the light of her life. She was a constant source of warmth, wisdom, and

unconditional love, and her presence made every gathering feel like home.

She is survived by her son Ed (Heidi) and daughter Florianne (Dan); her grandchildren

Joanna, Joshua, Jana, Justin, Jenny, Jeremy, Davis, Rachel, and Heather; her greatgrandchildren

Kennedy, Eli, Ezra, Israel, Henry, and Molly; and her beloved sister MaryAnn.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband Dan; her parents Ed and May Eggert; her

brothers Tommy, Harry, James, and Freddy; and many dear cousins and friends who

welcomed her home.
