I am so sorry to hear of Katie’s passing. Katie was such a good friend to the Burton family and especially to my sister Alma during the time of her confinement. Katie was the most caring person one could ever imagine. Rest in peace Katie.

Heaven has gained a beautiful angel…Our thoughts,prayers, and love are with all of you…Mark and Mike,she sure did love her boys…She loved all of you…She was so happy that her boys had chosen y’all Kristen and Layne. …She knew when she left, her boys would never be alone…..she didn’t always show her feelings,but she was so proud of all of you and her 2 grandkids….She may have been a little lady,but she had a huge heart..Condolences and hugs for all her family and friends…
I thought so much of Katie and was so sad to learn of her death. May God be with her family in the months ahead without her. Lots of love from my home to yours
With a heavy heart I can not express how heartbroken I am. Katie was not only my mother in law at one time she bacame like a mother. She cared about everyone and going out to eat or shopping always going up to people she knew hugging them and how are you doing with her beautiful smile .I learned alot from this beautiful women and will miss her deeply. I will always always remember and appreciate the love and kindness she gave me. I love you and hope to see you again some day!!!
Cousin but like a sister
Oh my words cannot describe my heartbreak. Katie was warm and loving and caring-beautiful inside and out. She visited almost every summer, sometimes making the trip from Virginia to South Carolina alone. We cooked, ate good homemade southern food, did a lot of shopping, sharing stories and enjoying each others company. There were usually tearful goodbyes (and giggles). She was always a blessing to me. I know from her testimony she is with our Savior and u will see her again. Peace, Katie-I love you.🦋
My high school friend my heart hurts with you. May Jesus give you peace and friends give you comfort.
Condolences
Sonny and Family, We are so sorry to hear of Katie’s passing. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. May memories made and shared bring you comfort at your time of loss.
To family and friends of Katie, we offer our deepest condolences. We remain in shock. She was valued as a friend and a loving sister to Pete, Hensley, and me.
She was always upbeat and had a great sense of humour. In our last conversation, we shared a laugh about “grits”
Sonny, we understand you brought some happiness into her life. Katie was very proud of Mark and Michael and enjoyed being a grandmother! Katie expressed appreciation for her daughters-in-law, Sharon, Kristen, and Layne.
Sis, I will miss you until we meet again. Katie, it meant a lot to me that you were in Jack’s life. We all have one more angel. God bless.
My sincere condolences to Katie’s family & friends. Katie was such a caring & compassionate lady who will be missed by all who knew her. She lived next door to my sister who has gone before her, but was a true best friend. May your memories sustain you as you grieve such a loss.
