In 1952 she came to America where she met her husband, Jakob. It was a double ring ceremony with her brother Nick and Jakob’s sister Rosi. Together with her husband, Kathy farmed in the town of Herman and raised their three daughters. She was a faithful member of St. Theresa Catholic Church in Theresa.

Kathy was incredible proud of her family and loved them dearly. She enjoyed sewing, gardening, and attending any sport events her granddaughters were in. Many cherished memories were made on vacations with her family in St. Germain.

Kathy is survived by twin daughters, Hertha Lackas, and Heidi Fiedler (Dennis), and Mary Cundy (fiancé Dan Strassman); six granddaughters, Jamie Schellinger (Ben), Ashley Lackas, Dawn Karel (Tony), Kristie Beleyeu (Ryan), Melinda Serwe (Ryan), and Jennifer Parks (Rob); and eleven great-grandchildren: Ava, Gabriella, Kennedy, Brooklynn, Alexis, Lydia, Owen, Blake, Ronni, Knox, and Kanon; sister Helen Schimpf; and sister-in-law Rosie Russ. Kathy is further survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

Kathy was preceded in death by her loving husband, Jakob, her parent’s Nikolas and Theresa Russ, her brother Nick Russ, her brother-in-law, Nick Schimpf, and son in laws, Joe Lackas and Bruce Cundy.

We give our heartfelt thank you to Prairie Ridge and hospice for their love and support during her stay at Prairie Ridge.
