She passed surrounded by loved ones on Saturday, October 8, 2022. She lived to be 81 years old. Katie was born Kathleen Thompson, on July 17 ,1941, in Middleton, England,and lived there until she met the love of her life, Carl E. Hiatt. The two were wed on August 29,1959, and moved to the States shortly after. Katie was best known for her warm smile; she was a beautiful person inside and out. She passionately loved her family and friends. Katie loved history and especially the Royal Family and her hometown. She loved giving back to the community through volunteering and was even known to get “lost in the woods” for daughter’s search and rescue dogs. She was an active member of “Good Yarners” at West Cancer Center where she created beautiful prayer shawls. Katie is survived by three children: Debbie, Lisa, and Andrew. She is also survived by 4 grandchildren: Cassie, Jesse, Carl, and Katie; and 3 step-grandchildren: Lee, Kerri, and Dani.
