Katherine Wion, 77, went to be with the Lord on June 5, 2015. She was born June 25, 1937, in Mt. Ayr, Iowa to Herman and Lucille Webb.

Katherine graduated from Mt. Ayr Public in 1955. Following graduation, she attended beauty school in Des Moines and received her beautician’s license.

Katherine was a member of Norwoodville Baptist Church. She had a great love for animals, especially dogs, and raised chickens, ducks, and geese at her home.
