Katheryn Anna Williams

Kathy graduated from Longmont High School in 1951. She met Glen Williams, the love of her life, at the Boulder County Fair and they married in 1952. They made their home in Rinn, Colorado and later settled in the Longmont area on the corner of Road 5 and Hwy 66 where they lived for 54 years. She loved being a homemaker, but when her five kids were old enough, she worked in the Longmont Sugar Factory’s Laboratory until it closed, Country View Care Center caring for the mentally challenged and after retirement as a visiting angel to the elderly. During Kathy’s younger years she and her family were active in the Mead United Methodist Church and in her later years she attended Life Bridge Church. She was a member of the Thursday Night Twelve Pinochle Club since 1962, was active in her Hobby and Extension (Volunteer) Clubs, and crocheted caps for newborn babies at Longmont United Hospital. She was a master baker and an excellent cook. She loved to travel especially camping in the Rocky Mountain National Park and called her camping trailer “my little mansion”. Kathy was a woman of abundance and loved to entertain family and friends with style and flair. She lived her life with compassion and gratitude. We thank God for the opportunity to share our life with such a special Mom.

Kathy was preceded in death by her husband, Glen of 62 years; two brothers Harold and Eugene Furney; three sisters Clara Byrd, Mary Hansen and Amy Dunfee and son-in-law, Tony Phillips. She is survived by four daughters: Glenna Baldwin (Don) of Pueblo, Charlene Hopp (Walter) of Longmont, Debbie Williams of Louisville, and Jackie Phillips of Longmont; and one son Steven of Fort Worth. She loved her four grandchildren: Donna Bender (Shane), Jason Baldwin (Mary), Ryan Williams and Brent Cashion, and five great grandchildren: Logan Bender, Hunter Hoover, Hudson Williams, Xuan Mai and Lincoln Viet Baldwin. The family would like to extend a special thank you to the caring staff at Juniper Village of Louisville and Trail Winds Hospice of Boulder.
