Those who knew Katie will remember a life shaped by a gentle steadiness and care offered without fanfare. Her kind heart showed itself in the way she held space for others, in the quiet ways she loved, and in the lasting comfort she left behind.
Katie is survived by her husband, David Skelton; her son, Thomas James (TJ) Skelton; her brother, Mark Rowe (Jan); her brother, Jim Rowe (Bonnie); and her sister, Karen Clayton (Jeff). She is also lovingly remembered by many nieces and nephews, and many others who called her “Ant Katie.”
Katie was preceded in death by her daughter, Bethany Skelton; her parents, Martha and Thomas Bowen; her brother, Steven Rowe; and her father, Jessie Calvin Rowe.
