Kathleen (Kathy) Marie (Burnison) Uecker, age 76, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, died Sunday, January 29, 2023 surrounded by her loving family. She was born on August 12, 1946 in Mitchell, South Dakota. She was preceded in death by her husband, Douglas Uecker; parents, Alfred and Lena (Brandenburg) Kringen; and brother, Robert Burnison.
After graduating from Woonsocket High School, Kathy moved to Omaha, Nebraska to attend Business School. This is where she met her husband of 53 years, Doug Uecker. Through this union, they raised three daughters. Initially, Kathy was a stay-at-home mother before working at Saint Joseph Hospital as a key-punch operator/accounts payable clerk until her retirement.
Over the years, she enjoyed doing crafts and sewing projects for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Often, one would find her gardening, baking, and/or decorating her home to make it a welcoming place for her family to visit.
