Kathy Jean Pelham

IF HEAVEN HAS A FLOWER GARDEN, AN ELVIS JUKEBOX, AND A CASINO WITH LOOSE SLOTS, THEN KATHY HAS ALREADY MADE HERSELF RIGHT AT HOME.

KATHY LIVED HER LIFE LIKE ONE OF HER FAVORITE FLOWERS-BRIGHT, BEAUTIFUL, AND JUST A LITTLE WILD. HER GARDEN WAS LEGENDARY; WEEDS DIDN’T DARE SHOW UP AND EVEN THE BEES SEEMED TO BUZZ A LITTLE HAPPIER AROUND HER BLOOMS.

ELVIS WAS THE SOUNDTRACK TO HER LIFE. WETHER IT WAS “CAN’T HELP FALLING IN LOVE” WHILE COOKING, OR “VIVA LAS VEGAS” ON HER TRIP TO A CASINO. SHE NEVER MISSED A BEAT-OR A CHANCE TO SING ALONG.

SPEAKING OF VEGAS-KATHY LOVED THE THRILL OF A GOOD SLOT MACHINE, OR A WINNING LOTTERY TICKET. SHE PLAYED THEM ALL WITH A SMILE AND ENJOYED EVERY ROAD TRIP TO ONE OF HER FAVORITE CASINOS WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

KATHY WAS BORN ON JUNE 13,1956, TO REGGIE RAY AND MARION JUANITA WEATHERLY IN FREEPORT, TEXAS.

SHE IS SURVIVED BY THE LOVE OF HER LIFE, JERRY WAYNE PELHAM OF 44 YEARS. TOGETHER THEY BUILT A HOME THAT HELD MANY MEMORIES THRU FAMILY GATHERINGS, KATHY’S LOVE FOR COOKING HOLIDAY DINNERS OR JUST A CASUAL CONVERSATION OVER A CUP OF COFFEE OR YOUR DRINK OF CHOICE AT HER DINING TABLE.

SHE WAS A PROUD AND DEVOTED MOTHER TO HER CHILDREN JASON PELHAM, JODY PELHAM (DIANA) AND STACY HURST (KEN). AN ADORING MEMAW TO HER GRANDCHILDREN; BLAKE HURST (ASHLEE), BRITTANY BLESSING (DYLAN), SHANNA MURRAY, MACKENZIE PELHAM, JERZIE PELHAM, KIP PELHAM AND JAKE PELHAM. GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN, ADDIE MURRAY, GRAYSON BLESSING AND BODIE BLESSING.

HER SISTERS SANDRA WATSON (KM) AND JANET HARRISON (PAUL). BOTH WOULD SAY THAT THEY ARE HER FAVORITE BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT SHE LOVED THEM EQUALLY.

ALONG WITH MANY NEICES AND NEPHEWS THAT SHE ADORED AND LOVED SO MUCH AS WELL AS FRIENDS WHO WILL FOREVER MISS HER LAUGH AND BIG-HEARTED WAY OF LIVING.

HER FAMILY WAS HER GREATEST JOY-THOUGH HER FLOWERS CAME IN A CLOSE SECOND.

SHE LOVED HER FLOWER GARDEN, HER FAMILY AND THE THRILL OF A GOOD GAMBLE-THOUGH SHE’D SAY SHE ALREADY HIT THE JACKPOT WITH THE PEOPLE IN HER LIFE.

SHE IS PRECEDED IN DEATH BY HER FATHER, REGGIE RAY WEATHERLY; MARION JUANITA WEATHERLY; BROTHER, JAMES WEATHERLY; SISTERS, PATSY NUGENT, SUE SMITH, AND LANITA POLK.

IN LIEU OF FLOWERS (SHE HAD THAT COVERED), PLANT SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL, PLAY YOUR FAVORITE ELVIS SONG, OR BUY A SCRATCH OFF IN HER HONOR. YOU NEVER KNOW-SHE MIGHT JUST SEND A LITTLE LUCK YOUR WAY.
