Katherine Adams Thornton passed away on January 13th, 2011 in Curtis Washington. "Katie" was born March 23, 1923 in Randsburg, California, to William Elias and Mabel Sill Adams. She married Clinton Merrill Thornton on May 30th, 1941 in Las Vegas Nevada.
Katie was a very talented lady. Her children believed that there was nothing she couldn't do. She especially loved oil painting (even the mascot on the gym walls in Kanab High School), quilting, porcelain working and tole painting.
Clinton and Katie spent many hours together in the shop cutting and building beautiful items from wood. They also spent part of their summers together gardening and the rest was spent preserving all they grew. The pantry was always stocked with canning jars which contained the season's harvestthat they shared with everyone. Katie was especially known for her "Dill" and her "Mustard" pickles (We can still taste them now.)
Katie loved to sing and cherished the time she was able to sing in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. She loved to decorate cakes and to help with any project her children could think up. All the children in Parowan knew her as the "Sucker Lady" because of her homemade suckers given out at Halloween.
Katie is survived by her four daughters; Darlene Thornton, Christine Hunt, Deborah Painter,Vicki Harr and her devoted dog Chicka. Katherine also has 11 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
We love you momma, hug daddy for us and enjoy raising your son. May God take care of you as he has previously done.
Funeral services will be held on Friday January 21st. at the LDS Church, 90 South Main, Parowan Ut. Family viewing will be at 10:30 and the services will begin at 11:30. Interment at the Parowan Cemetery under the direction of Southern Utah Mortuary.

Assured Hospice of Lewis County, Sticklin Funeral Chapel in Centralia, Washington, Southern Utah Mortuary of Cedar City, Utah.
