Katherine G Maycann

Mom grew up in Birchwood, TN and moved to Chattanooga while a teenager. She spent the majority of her working years as a Secretary for the Hamilton County Public School system. Students would still say hello to her when they saw her out because she had such a lasting impact on their lives.

Mom was an avid Quilter and loved making quilts for her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She never met a stranger, and we would often find these people at our dinner table and invited to family celebrations. Mom lived her life on her terms and was an independent fighter till the very end.

She is pre-deceased by her husband, John Anthony Maycann Jr. and her siblings.

She is survived by her children, Katherine (Robert) Block, Mary Ellen Maycann, John Maycann III, Theresa (Chris) Miller, and Kevin (Heidi) Maycann. She is also survived by 11 grandchildren, Jessica Ewart, Katie Furlough, Caroline Harden, Christina Maycann, Elizabeth Maycann, Azrielle Maycann, Shawn Miller, Amanda Miller, Patrick Maycann, Nicholas Maycann, and Sarah Maycann; 7 great grandchildren, Isabelle, Lily, Eliza, Lena, Owen, Leo, and Maggie; and her cat Abby. She is survived by a host of nephews, nieces and friends.

A Celebration of Katherine’s Life will be held in the funeral home chapel at 1:00 pm on Saturday March 2, 2024. The family will receive friends Friday evening March 1, 2024 from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. After the visitation there will be a Rosary Service held at 8:00 pm. She will be laid to rest alongside her husband, John in the Mt. Olivet Cemetery.

The family requests that no flowers be sent, instead make a donation to your local Humane Society or Pet Rescue Service.
