Kathryn Erickson Disch, born December 24, 1929 in Evansville, WI, passed away at the age of 88, on October 8, 2018 in San Diego, CA.

She married Kenneth Benjamin Disch of Evansville in 1948 after his return from World War II as a marine.  He predeceased her.

She is survived by her three children, Steve Disch (Mary) of Denver and Tucson, Susan Sommer (Doug) of San Diego,  and Candy Kimaiga of Milwaukee; sister Alyce Thurwachter of St. Louis, sister-in-law Shirley Erickson of Janesville and Tucson, companion Rollie Devlin of Evansville and numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Throughout her life she enjoyed square dancing, snow skiing, boating on the lakes of Madison, (water skiing, not so much, since she never learned to swim), world traveling, her crossword puzzles, and playing all kinds of card games.  She spent 12 years in Mesa, AZ with companion, Rollie Devlin and came to enjoy desert living even though she could rarely beat him at cards.

Kathy spent her last 5 years in San Diego, lovingly cared for by her daughter, Susan Sommer, in assisted living centers.

Kathryn's life-long wish was to be cremated and interred next to her parents, Edwin and Marian Erickson, in the Cooksville, WI cemetery and services are being planned for the spring of 2019.
