NEWTON, KS formerly of Wyoming
Tibbets, Kathryn Lynn, 45, former Pamida Receiving Specialist, passed away Sunday, September 8, 2013. She was a 1986 graduate of Valley Center High School. After High School she attended Garden City Jr College. Kathi was loving, caring and the most giving person ever. She is leaving a multitude of friends and family, leaving many memories with all of them. Kathi moved to Wyoming 7 years ago from Wichita and returned a month ago to be with her daughter and son-in-law, Brooke Tolle and David Phillips and grandson Damien, all of Newton. She loved Damien dearly and loved playing with him. She was greatly anticipating the arrival of her second grandson, Dominick, in December. Thankfully, she was able to be at the sonogram to see him and find out she had a second grandson. She is also survived by her mother Susan Ann Bell-Milby (Wes) of WY; step-mother Elaine Tibbets of Newton; sister Judith (James) Williams of Wichita; many other family and friends. She loved fishing with her dad, (and is doing so now). She came to Newton for four months to spend time with her dad, Pete Tibbets, Jr., and help care for him before he passed in 2010. Kathi loved all animals and leaves behind 2 dogs, Tank and Toro, a cat Sage and 2 frogs, all rescue animals. Services 10:00 a.m., Thursday, September 12, at Baker Funeral Home, 100 S. Cedar, Valley Center, KS. Condolences may be left for the family at www.bakerfhvc.com
