A graduate of Norman High School, Katherine was known for her warm heart, kindness, and unshakeable patience.

A devoted and compassionate friend, she was a great listener, always ready with a kind word and a prayer. Her faith was central to her life, and she was remembered by many as a “prayer warrior” and a loving presence.

She worked as a house cleaner for many years, touching the lives of those she served with her thoughtful, caring nature. Family gatherings, especially with her late sister Lynda, were some of Katherine’s happiest moments, as she valued the time spent with her loved ones.
