Katherine Susan Wakerly

After a long and beautiful life, we have lost our loving wife and mother.

Kate was so many things to so many people: a beautiful daughter, a devoted sister, and a determined philanthropist who worked tirelessly for causes such as homelessness, day workers rights, and bulding schools in Nigeria. Her smile, her jokes, and above all, her selfless love and generosity will be deeply and profoundly missed.

John's eulogy has been posted. Karen Lantz has also written a nice eulogy. Job Lopez wrote a touching tribute poem, which was read at both services.

Information on Kate's burial place may be found here.
