Katherine (Kathie) May Abrahamson, age 71, passed peacefully from us in the late evening on October 5, 2003 at her home in North Salt Lake, following a long illness with Alzheimer's disease. Her daughters and husband were with her as she slipped away.
Kathie was born February 25, 1932 in Salt Lake City to Charles Hannibal and Ida Katarina (Anderson) Crosby. She was the third youngest, with two brothers and three sisters. Kathie and Henry Meyer were married in 1953, he preceding her in death. In 1978 Kathie and Curtis Abrahamson were married, making their home in North Salt Lake.
Kathie graduated from West High in Salt Lake City in 1950. A homemaker and mother, Kathie was an outgoing person; she enjoyed baseball, gardening, travel, social dancing, and "going out". She loved cooking and entertaining. Committed to improving her own health, she developed an herbal tea, which she marketed.
Kathie is survived by daughters Vickie (Del) Bartel and Tine (Bucky) Smith from her marriage to Henry Meyer; grandchildren; a brother, LeRoy Crosby; two sisters, Betty Whitehead and Elaine Sights; her husband, Curtis Abrahamson; and many nieces, nephews, and others dear to her. Passing before her were her parents, a sister, Bernice and a brother, Glen.
An informal, open-air memorial service for Kathie will be held Monday, October 13, 2003 at 3:00 p.m. at the Elysian Burial Gardens, 1075 East 4580 South in Salt Lake City.
Heartfelt thanks go out to all of those who cared for Kathie, offering their help and prayers for her and her husband over the last few years of her life. And also, thanks to the nurses and staff of the Odyssey HealthCare hospice, who helped make the final few months more comfortable and peaceful-not only for Kathie, but also for her husband.
"You shined like a star in your own special way, and added your own special light to this world." You have not yet writ the last line of your poem.
Speed on your way, and know that you are missed!
