Kathryn was a homemaker, wife, and a wonderful mother to her two children, Ryan and Kelin. She was generous, enjoyed being outdoors and spending time with her family.
She is survived by her children, Ryan Rakestraw (Brooke Rakestraw) and Kelin Serrano (William Gossin); grandchildren, Ethan Williams and Elizabeth Serrano; and a cousin, Marilyn Jones.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Fred J. Rakestraw; parents, William Kemp and Bertie Johnston Kemp; and sister, Linda Kemp Hawkins.
The family will have a private service at home at a later time.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Cancer Society: cancer.org/dignitymemorial
