In Memory of Kathleen Ann Okvath

Kathleen Ann Okvath, 66, of Colorado Springs passed away on February 18th, 2022.

 

She was born in Evanston, Illinois on February 8th, 1956 to George and Joanne Krueger. Kathleen was a passionate pianist who enjoyed composing. As a young musician, she was awarded the Bach Special Medal by the National Guild of Piano Teachers. She performed for several years at the Iron Spring’s Chateau Dinner Theatre in Manitou Springs where she enjoyed putting on a great show along with other actors and artisans, many of whom were her dear friends. She had a wicked sense of humor and an unending thirst for learning. 

Kathleen is survived by her mother, Joanne, as well as her sisters Betsy, Krista, and Becky. Her sisters and her family will miss her beautiful, kind heart.

She also leaves behind her children: Julia Okvath, Ed Okvath, and Joanne Bacharach. We love you mom.
