Katherine was born December 22, 1950 in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. She grew up in Houston, Texas with her beloved mother, Gloria Byrns, and only brother, Bill Grimes, both who proceeded her in death. In 1969, Katherine married the love of her life, John Pinion. They raised two children, Johnny and Dahnya, making their home in Austin, Texas for 35 years.
She is survived by her devoted husband, John Pinion, of 50 years; her daughter Dahnya Smith and husband Brian Smith; son John Pinion IV and wife Michelle Pinion; her four grandchildren she so affectionately referred to as “her loves” Alexandria Katherine Smith, John Franklin Pinion V, Hudson Timothy Smith, and Austin Landry Pinion.
She was a beloved wife, mother, friend and Mimi. She was our Queen, the back bone of our family, and a second mother to many. Her golden heart showered us all with unconditional love and no one like Katherine could make you feel uniquely special and loved like she did.
For the past 5 years, she fought hard to spend more time with her grandchildren and loved ones. There was never a stronger fighter than Katherine Pinion.
Now it is her time for well-deserved rest.
