Katies Funeral and memorial fund
Donation protected
Our mom Katie suddenly passed away August 17, 2022 leaving behind her 2 daughters and her sister to make arrangements. Our mom was a beautiful and talented woman who touched many lives through her kindness and music. She loved deep and hard.
Music was her passion. And being surrounded by those she loved filled her heart. We are doing this fundraiser to raise donations for the funeral and memorial expenses. Some of the funds will be used as travel expenses, as we live out of state and have to travel to California from Arizona and Colorado, due to all her friends and majority of family being located in California. We didn’t feel it would be right to make everyone else have to travel as there are more of them, than there are us.
Katie wanted to be cremated and to have her ashes shared amongst her family. She also wanted her memorial to be spent reminiscing the good times with good friends, family, food, and music!
Thank you to everyone who shows their love and concerns. Any donations given would be greatly appreciated and we thank you all ❤️
UPDATE: I have enclosed a copy of the contract and the amount to be paid to the funeral home. This does not include the coroners fee of $320.
