Kathryn “Kathy” Measner, age 69, died on Thursday, May 30, 2024 at the M Health Fairview University of Minnesota-East Bank Medical Center in Minneapolis, MN.
Kathryn Ann Measner (Krenz) was born and raised in Osceola, Wisconsin. September 20th, 1975 she married the love of her life Duane Measner. Though Kathy’s true work in life was raising her children and helping others, she did also work at the bank, the school and as a receptionist. To know her was to LOVE her. She had a smile that lit up the room, a genuine demeanor that only provided positivity and a compassion for life that was strong and true. Her creativity and attention to detail showed in all aspects of her life. Going to the camper up north, traveling, 4 wheeling, snowmobiling, playing cards and being by the water was just a few things that Kathy enjoyed. One passion she shared was her amazing abilities with cooking and baking, always having fresh chocolate chip cookies on hand! Kathy had an uncanny ability to make all situations better. Wholeheartedly she loved life and all those around her. She will continue to live on through the goodness she instilled in her family, children and grandchildren. Not a day will go by without her presence being felt.
