In Loving Memory of Katherine Larue Howser September 25, 1945 – September 2, 2025
With heavy hearts and cherished memories, we announce the passing of Katherine Larue Howser, a radiant soul whose warmth, humor, and love touched everyone fortunate enough to know her. Katherine left this world just shy of her 80th birthday, having lived a life rich in adventure, laughter, and devotion.
Born on September 25, 1945, Katherine was a beacon of joy and generosity. She was the kind of person who made every room brighter, every gathering more fun, and every heart feel a little fuller. Her love for her family was boundless, and her nearly 63-year marriage to her beloved James was a testament to enduring partnership, filled with laughter, loyalty, and countless shared journeys.
Katherine had a zest for life that took her far and wide. Whether she was cruising the seas, camping under the stars, or hitting the open road in her RV, she embraced every moment with enthusiasm and curiosity. Her travels were not just about destinations—they were about stories, connections, and the joy of discovery.
A talented cook and gracious host, Katherine’s kitchen was often the heart of the home, where meals became memories and recipes were passed down with love. She especially treasured her visits to Reno, where she reunited with family and indulged in a little gambling—though she’d always say it was only fun when she was winning.
Katherine’s legacy is one of love, laughter, and adventure. She leaves behind a family who adored her, friends who admired her, and a life story that will continue to inspire. Her spirit will live on in every campfire tale, every shared meal, and every road trip taken in her honor.
She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
