Katrin, as friends knew her, was born in Wheeling, West Virginia and was married to Phillip James Bramley on September 19, 1945. They celebrated 65 happy anniversaries together.
Kathrin began singing as a little girl and never stopped. Weather it was an aria from a favorite opera, a Schumann song cycle, a hymn at church, or to a tune playing on the radio, her beautiful lilting mezzo soprano voice was sure to ring out. She was a longtime member of PEO Chapter J, the opera Guide, Assistance League, founding board member of the U of A Humanities Seminars, and St Mark's Presbyterian Church.
Her Children, Kate Clark, Phil Bramley, Jr., Doug Bramley, and Peter Bramley, as well as, eight grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren survive her. Her family thinks it's fitting that she died on the first day of spring.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
