A very devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother she treasured her family. She was the loving wife of John "JT" and cared for him until his passing on June 3, 2017. Kate was a hard worker with a servant's heart. If something needed doing and she could do it, she would get it done herself. She loved to play in the dirt and pull weeds to add to the beauty of her yard even if that meant her most hated critter, a snake, might get a little too close. She had an artistic touch, she loved to paint ceramics, and made cross-stitch keepsake blankets for many of her littlest family members. Always having a caring heart, Kate was known to be a second mom to many, her home was always open to anyone who would want to visit. Kate carried a friendly smile wherever she went, many will remember her and JT for they were those that greeted you at NAPA Auto Parts in Owego for decades. Her handprint was left on the hearts of her children: Jason (Ellie) Theurer, Patty Jo (Shawn) Birchard, Kirk (Sidney) Theurer. Her grandchildren: Memari, Landon, Brindin, Elias, Katrina; a great granddaughter Tali Rose; by marriage, she had more grandchildren to love: Jake, Tyler, Samantha, Mckennsley; and great grandchildren too: Aanya, Carter, Kiara, and Lucy Mae.
