Kathryn Elizabeth Fox was born during a snowstorm on May 23, 1924 in Amery, Wisconsin. She was the daughter of Carl and Esther (Johnson) Lovgren. On September 17, 1941 she was united in marriage to Clyde Fox, and to this union ten children were born. Katie had many interests and loved to garden, bake, crochet, play cards and feed the birds. No bird ever left her yard hungry, just like no one visiting ever left her house hungry. She and Clyde were longtime active members of West Immanuel Lutheran Church in rural Osceola. After Clyde passed away in 1996 she moved to Amery. In 2007 she moved to Osceola where she lived at the Mill Side Apartments. She remained there until December 31, 2015 when she moved to the Christian Community Home in Osceola. She suffered a stroke and on April 4, 2016 she passed away at the age of 91.
