Kathryn Lynita Lightfoot

Born in 1932 in St. Louis, Oklahoma to Delmar and Florence Fillman, Kathryn was the youngest of five siblings in a very tight knit and loving family. She received a Master’s degree in Education from East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma, and later taught high school senior English in Premont, Tx. where her students adored her.

On April 23rd, 1965, Kathryn married the love of her life, Marshall K Lightfoot, and they settled in the Dallas neighborhood of Lake Highlands where they were members of Shiloh Terrace Baptist church. In 1972, Kathryn went to work as an Executive Secretary at Westinghouse Air Brake and later as an Executive Secretary at American Standard prior to her retirement in 1997.

Kathryn and Marshall enjoyed having family for fun weekends, fishing, boating and fish fries at their lake house at Lake Texhoma, and exchanging laughter and jokes over weekend card games with their friends at home.

Kathryn passed away peacefully in her sleep on Monday the 16th of March, 2020, with her son Rob by her side. She is preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, her parents, siblings JC, Tony, Bill and Barbara Sue Davis, son David Lightfoot, and grandchildren Lewis and Elizabeth Lightfoot.

Left to cherish her memory are her children, Katie Lightfoot of Dallas, Marshall K. Lightfoot III (and wife Cynthia) of Rockwall, Alyson Cobb (and husband Mark) of Dallas and Rob Riley (and wife, Annie) of Dallas, joined by eight grandchildren, six great grandchildren, two great-great grandchildren, and extended family and friends.

Her memorial service is being held at Sparkman Crane Funeral Home at 10501 Garland Rd., Dallas, Texas on Saturday, June 19th, 2021 at 2pm with Dr. Dennis Hochgraber officiating.
