Both from Muskegon
Surrounded by family
Kattie was a remarkable person. She was like Wonder Woman. Anyone who met her loved her personality and joy. No matter how tired, hurting, exhausted she was she would give 100% effort to help anyone else. She was an awesome caretaker for Sis. Kattie was very educated w/nursing and other business college degrees. Kattie has been poor all her life. She would appreciate the smallest jester like when we bought ice cream for them the week before she passed.
Sis loved to paint, scratch off lottery tickets, play bingo, and loved her cats so dearly. Once she even sold one of her paintings for $500. Sis was in the Army, and was even a truck driver too.
The two of them were together over 35 years. They loved their cats as much as each other. They even gave scraps to the outdoor animals. They loved shows like “Dancing with the Stars”. Vincent E. Carlson & Associates were so kind enough to invite both of the sisters to go to the Grand Rapids version of this show. It was one of the hi-lights of their life. When Kattie was a flight attendant they were able to travel a little and see places like Washington D.C. Together they were a shining light on life.
Both will be missed so much, but especially Kattie. Part of my heart has been taken with her. They were loved so extensively by all. They are both in Heaven now with other family and pets, and I’m sure they are living it up and are very happy.
They are survived by 2 daughters; Brenda Thorp, Bonnie Hinkley, 7 grandchildren; Chris Thorp-Karsten, Jack Thorp Jr., Joshua Thorp, Aeriel Fenstermaker, Brian Hinkley, Breyanne Hinkley, Brooke Grady, 2 great granddaughters; Piper Thorp, Grace Thorp, 2 great grandsons; Bentley Hinkley, and proceeded in death by Noah Thorp her great grandson.
Both are being cremated and moved to Ohio to be with their parents. No ceremony will take place per their request, but you can make donations in their honor to Faithful to Felines 2325 Hall Rd. Muskegon, Mi. 49442. 2317733030.
