Kathryn Alice Poorbaugh "Kathy" was born in California to Shirley and John Johnson on September 14, 1960. Momma lost her battle to cancer at the young age of 60 on March 11, 2021, surrounded by her family. She fought hard and strong to her last breath. Momma was intelligent, kind, and loving. She was a devoted wife to her husband, mother to her children and grandchildren. Momma was a very crafty and artistic woman. She loved sitting at the table drawing and coloring with her grandchildren. One of her favorite passions was sitting behind one of many sewing machines and sewing or even quilting. She wanted more than anything to teach her grandchildren how to sew. Momma even put together little sewing kits for all of her grandchildren. If someone asked her to make them something, she would dive right into it trying to figure out every angle and aspect of whatever project they asked her to make. She would make baby blankets, blankets, bags, and so much more. There was no task too complicated for Momma to tackle. Outside of sewing, her other favorite pastime was spending time with her family, but most especially her grandchildren. She would drop whatever she was doing if one of her grandbabies was around and needed or wanted her to do something. Momma never wanted a big fuss made over herself but loved getting her mani-petties.
