Katie grew up in Central New York but moved to the Texas Hill Country in 1998. She worked the majority of her adult life in the financial services and/or insurance industry, having retired fairly early from USAA.
Upon retirement, Katie volunteered in multiple non-profit organizations. She was most proud of her efforts working with others to establish the Hill Country Animal League Spay/ Neuter Clinic, the Pet Facility at the Kendall County Women’s Shelter and her role in the Capital campaign for A Doggie 4 You dog rescue in Pipe Creek, Texas.
There will be an informal memorial at Ebensberger-Fisher Funeral Home in Boerne, Texas, on April 24, 2025, with prepared tributes starting at 6 p.m. There will also be a graveside service at St. Mary’s Cemetery in Dewitt, New York, on May 2, 2025, at 10 a.m., followed by a celebration of life at the North Chittenango Fire Company at 1 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, donations are requested for A Doggie 4 You dog rescue (adoggie4you.org), or the Genealogical Society of Kendall County (gskctx.org)
