Recently, I created an article here on HomeFolk Tales to publish an obituary, I then used the resulting link in a Facebook posting making it available for friends and family to read. Comments were shared that putting the obituary on the family's favorite social media platform were all favorable. With that, it is now time to share another, this same way.

Kathryn Lynn Ford passed away peacefully
at home after a two-year-long fight against melanoma cancer on Sunday,

with her sister Karen.
Kathryn was born in Tacoma, Washington on
July 23, 1951. Kathryn grew up in Port Orchard, Washington before moving to
Tonasket, Washington in 1978. She remained in Eastern Washington until her
children were grown.
She is preceded in death by her father
Hubert Conover, her mother Ruth Conover (nee Sargeant), her brother Bill
Conover, her sister Karen Conover, and her nephew Jeff Conover.
She is survived by her sister Gwen Jones

Angelina (Colon) Pellegrini of Kent, Washington; Tina (nee Pellegrini) and
Daniel Norton of Kent, Washington; great-grandchildren Michael, Anthony, Dante,
Tyreece, and Carter.
Kathryn’s wishes were to be cremated. Due to COVID-19, plans to celebrate this feisty, fun-loving, redhead, we all knew as Kat, are yet to be made.
