Kathryn A. Taylor

Kathryn was a woman of deep faith, always wearing a smile that radiated warmth and kindness. Her heart overflowed with prayers for others, and she touched many lives through her unwavering love and compassion. As a loving and protective mother, she embraced her role with grace, and her devotion extended to her cherished grandchildren. Her passion for music was evident in her love for singing. Whether hymns in church or songs sang in the quiet of her home for only her and the animals to hear. Kathryn saw the beauty of creation in music and kept a song in her heart even in her darkest times. 

Kathryn recently retired from her job of 13 years as a switchboard operator at Sarah Bush Lincoln, where her friendly voice greeted callers and connected them with care. Her work brought her immense satisfaction. 

She was survived by her daughter, Kerri Gunnels; son-in-law, Dylan Gunnels, and two grandchildren, D'artagnan (Dart) and Delaney Gunnels.
