She has lived in Blandinsville since 1981. She worked as a Head Cook at Northwestern Grade School for several years. For all that knew her, she was the most extraordinary cook. From homemade cookies for all the local kids for Halloween, to baking her famous pies, her chocolate chip cookies, and cream cheese mints. Her grandchildren will always remember amazing beef and noodles that they would fight each other in line to get. She also loved attending the Blandinsville Christian Church.
She took pride in gardening, canning, and preserving just about any type of food, and taught all of her kids and grandkids these thing also. There was never a summer you wouldn’t find her out in the garden with Dennis or her children and grandchildren.
To know Katie was to love her. She will be remembered most for her kind heart and her willingness to help anyone in need. She was a true matriarch, and a pillar of strength for her family. One phone call from her would just make everything better. She was a true angel on earth, and she will forever be remembered as such.
