Kathryn E. Bading, devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and former career librarian, passed away on Sunday, February 19, 2006. Kathryn was born April 8, 1933 in Miles City, Montana to Glen G. Eye and Lucille Terry Eye. She is survived by daughter, Skye Daniels and her son Bryan Bading; son, Glen T. Bading and children Sarah Winegardner and Kaeleigh Winegardner; son, Damien T. Bading, his wife Paula and their children Robert Nealy, Jennifer Nealy and her son Jordan, and Christopher Nealy; son, Marcus A. Bading. She is also survived by her sister Miriam Blum and her husband Fred Blum of New Glarus, Wisconsin, and by many loving nieces and nephews who knew her as Aunt Kay.
Kathryn moved to Madison, Wisconsin in 1941 when her father accepted the position of Principal and assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin High School which she later attended. Kathryn was first chair bass in the Madison Youth Orchestra at this time. Kathryn then attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison completing her undergraduate major in Social Work with double minors in Sociology and Psychology, receiving her B.S. Degree with senior honors in June 1955. She moved to Chicago working for both Scientific Research Associates and Toni Company as a market research analyst. She was briefly married and had daughter Skye during this time. In 1959 Kathryn met musician Clarence Bading of New Braunfels, Texas. They were married on June 21, 1960 in Madison, Wisconsin. The Badings then moved to San Antonio, Texas where husband Clarence played in the San Antonio Symphony. Here she had sons Glen, Damien, and Marcus. Kathryn was always fascinated by the management and organization of information and decided to enroll in the graduate program at Our Lady of The lake University where she obtained her M.S. Degree in Library Science in 1969 and soon afterward accepted a position at Trinity University Library. As a library is a repository of information, this was a perfect career choice. During lunch Kathryn attended Spanish and Portuguese classes earning a 4.0 grade point average upon completion of an additional undergraduate degree. Notable achievements during this time were: first librarian to receive tenure without entering administration; first non-teaching faculty member to be elected president of the local chapter of the American Association of University Professors; first librarian to be appointed to the University Curriculum Council; and one of the first librarians to be a student advisor for business administration freshman and sophomores. Like her father who went on to become a tenured professor and university administrator, much of her life was spent in and around university education activities until her retirement in 1999.
Kathryn was always a unique and free thinking individual. Her creative mind and determined will allowed to her to pursue a rewarding career while being a fantastic wife and mother. She enjoyed literature, art, the study of nature, history, culture, and many forms of music with Gospel and Delta Blues being favorites. She was also an avid foreign and domestic film buff. The number of books, films, and the amount of music played at the family house clearly reflected her interests. Kathryn always put her family before herself regardless of the consequences.
