Ursula L Kahkoska

Ursula L. Kahkoska, 91, of Colorado Springs, passed away on December 7, 2024. Born on March 29, 1933, in Rostock, Germany, Ursula married James C. Kahkoska on April 25, 1953, in Annweiler am Trifels, West Germany. They shared 61 years of marriage until Jim’s passing in 2014. Ursula is survived by her children Evelyn Olson and James (Jill) Kahkoska and grandchildren, Ryan Olson, Anna Kahkoska, and Jessica Kahkoska.

Ursula had a passion for travel, music, and the outdoors. She was equally happy in the mountains or at the beach, with a special fondness for the fall season in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. Ursula’s happiest moments were spent with her toes in the sand and her feet in the water. She was also an avid hiker and cross-country skier, participating in a weekly hiking group for decades.

Ursula was a core member of the Swimmin’ Women, a group that swam at Prospect Lake Beach for decades. During the hot summer months, she and her friends would reliably be found at the picnic table on the southwest corner of the beach.

Ursula’s love of nature, adventure, and a good Kaffee und Kuchen will be missed by all who knew her. A Celebration of Life will be held next year.
