Kathryn Williams Lacker was born on August 20 1930 in Briggs, Texas, and died January 12, 2013 in Austin, Texas, after a long battle with cancer. Her parents were Jesse Curtis Williams and Iris Marie Moore Williams. Kathryn was very proud of the fact that she was a Texan and was descended from pioneer Burnet county families.

Kathryn's family moved to Austin when she was young; she graduated from Austin High School in 1948. She met David Lacker through church friends and they were married on September 10, 1948. Early in their married life, Kay worked at Calcasieu Lumber Company and later at the State Board of Pardons and Paroles until leaving to focus on her family.

Throughout her life, Kay was a creative and artistic person whose talents included oil painting, woodworking, and sewing. In later years, Dave and Kay spent most of their time on their cherished small farm in Buda, Texas, always undertaking a new project or improvement with great eagerness. Their greatest happiness derived from each other, and from both immediate and extended family. Their marriage spanned nearly 63 years until David's death in 2011.

Kathryn is survived by son Stephen Lacker, daughter-in-law Ann Lacker, and granddaughter Caitlin Lacker of Austin, as well as a large and cherished extended family.

The family wishes to thank James Crumley for caring for the place in Buda all these years; Dr. Richard Helmer and the staff at Texas Oncology; the wonderful caregivers of HomeInstead Senior Care (Monica, Cierra, Roxanne, Beatriz, Donna Marie, Pamela, and Rhonda); and Hospice Austin for the compassion and loving kindness they showed to Kathryn and our family over the last few months.
