Kathy was born on April 16, 1963, in Dubuque, Iowa, daughter of Robert and Joan (Rendall) Grant.
A Down Syndrome baby in a time when there was so much to learn about Downs Syndrome. She taught us all we needed to know. She taught us that love was the answer. Each childhood milestone was a struggle for her but she was so proud of her accomplishments. She was stubborn and determined, but always had a smile. Kathy was a kind and gentle soul who was a past member of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. She enjoyed music of all genres, but her favorites were "boot scooting" music and music from Grease. Kathy also liked being outside, watching movies and cartoons and had an extensive Star Trek collection. She loved the simple things in life like her Pepsi and chocolate pie. Kathy was the most non-judgemental person you would ever meet. She was a joy to her family and we will miss her tremendously. Kathy's light will shine on us from Heaven. The lessons she taught us will continue to guide our lives. She will live in our hearts forever.
Those left to cherish Kathy's memory include her siblings, Nancy & Weep Ellerman, Rhea Ann & Doug Thompson, Richard & Kim Grant, and her guardians, Debra Grant-Beck & Ken Beck; and her nieces and nephews, Robert, Jonathan, Elizabeth and Alexander Beck and Kayla Thompson.
Kathy was preceded in death by her parents; a brother, Larry Grant; a niece, Diane Ellerman; and a nephew, Kenny Ellerman.
