After a life of love and quiet grace, Katharine "Kay" Fogelman, 89, has passed.
Here is a glimpse of the life she lived, in her family's own remembrance.
Katharine entered this world in 1932 — the start of a journey that would span 89 years.
Katharine spent her working life as ['Sharp Milling Co'] and held deeply to the Catholic faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew her best.
Those who live by belief leave a different kind of mark.
