In 1961, Kathy earned her nursing degree from St. Luke’s School of Nursing. Kathy married Cliff Luethye on June 8, 1963. He died on July 15, 2018.
Over the years, Kathy has enjoyed reading, playing cards and games, baking and tending her flowers. Kathy was frequently asked to volunteer as a “homeroom mother” at school. Most of all, Kathy believed in serving her community, church and the world.
Kathy was a faithful Christian and a member of the Wilton United Methodist Church, where she played the piano and organ. Her faith was important to her and it showed through her prayer life, church attendance and serving others near and far. Kathy had a generous and caring heart. She was a faithful wife, mother and friend to many ... Heaven has definitely gained an Angel!
Kathy will be dearly missed by two daughters, Lisa (Harvey) Locoh of West Des Moines, and Laura (Eric Burton) Luethye of Durant; two grandchildren; and one brother, Tom (Gail) Windman of Mesa, Ariz.
Kathy was preceded in death by her parents; and her husband, Cliff.
