Kathryn was born February 24, 1947 to Jack and Lucille (Wollenburg) Petree in Walla Walla, Washington.  She graduated from Arlington High School in 1947 and joined the Navy as a personnel clerk.  She worked processing sailors to deploy to Vietnam and often pondered the fact that some of these very same soldiers would not return for out-processing.  After leaving the Navy she continued to work for the VA and earned her CNA license.  She worked for a time at Booker Rest Home in Dayton, WA, then went on to work as a CNA at St. Mary’s on the TCU ward.  She always seemed to have many honorary “grannies” in her life.

Kathryn loved the outdoors, especially fishing, hiking and generally observing the beauty of the natural world.

On November 30, 1987, she married Steven D Jacobson in Leavenworth, WA and; they spent over 35 years enjoying each other’s company.
