Mrs. Kathryn Marie Taulbee's Obituary
Kathryn Marie Taulbee, 96, the Matriarch of our family went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ while in the comfort of her home; she was surrounded by several of her loving family members. The eldest of six children to immigrant parents, John and Katie Klobucher, she outlived all of her siblings. She was familiar with hardship which only spurred her to overcome much in her life; she was a fighter. She was a young child during the Great Depression. She overcame her childhood impoverishment and was the pride of her family. She was accepted into WMU and obtained her Bachelors Degree in teaching, with honors. She taught primarily at Orchard View as a 5th grade teacher and became infamously known as Mrs. Taulbee; she taught for 33 years. She was a lifetime member at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church where she served faithfully throughout those years in numerous areas. She prided herself in her home as it was ornately decorated and encompassed within the beauty of her hand-tended gardens. Barbara Halasinski, her beloved daughter, proceeded her in death. Kaye will be deeply missed by her family. She is survived by her son, Darryl (Char) Taulbee; grandchildren: Traci (Chris) Van Hees, Darryl (Sherry) Taulbee, Jaymi Halasinski, Regina Halasinski, Carla (Brian) Hanson, Jerry Halasinski, and Sarah Taulbee; 20 great-grandchildren; two great-great grandchildren and nieces and nephews. THE MASS OF CHRISTIAN BURIAL will be 11 AM Wednesday, July 6, 2016 at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church Marian Chapel, 2929 McCracken Ave. with Rev. Fr. James Vanderlaan presiding. Visitation will be one hour prior to the service. Memorial Contributions may be made to St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church. Entombment in St. Mary’s Cemetery.
