Kathryn and John’s grandchildren are: Brett (Ashley) Graber, Seth (Michelle) Graber, Kyle (Melaina) Graber, Jacob (Bekah) Graber, Derek (Lauren) Graber, Isaac (Tiffani) Graber, Amanda (Nick) Esparza, Abbey (Steve) Nafziger, Zac (Brooke) Graber, Blake (Emma) Graber, Sarah Graber and Samantha Graber. They also have 12 great grandchildren. Kathryn is also survived by one brother Kenneth (Virginia) Lee and one aunt, Lucille Bannister.

She was preceded in death by both of her parents, her sister Ruth Ann, and brother in-law Harold Schultz.
