Katherine Wanzer was born February 24, 1941 to William and Marjorie Gribben in Grass Valley, California and passed away September 14, 2017 at Thomas, OK surrounded by loved ones.
She worked in Canton at Long's Drug for a short while but mostly in
her yard and home. She enjoyed her flowers, watching the birds, and
spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and best
friend Maggie Rhodes. She loved all the camping trips and all of her
kids. If you were a friend you were family. She was very loving,
strong, always knew how to put a smile on your face, enjoyed crocheting
and making glass candy.
She is survived by sisters Sherrie Pina`, Mary Vogt of California,
three children, William (Billy) Wanzer of Fairview, Oklahoma, Kathy
Taylor of Thomas, Oklahoma, Jose Wanzer of Ringwood, Oklahoma, along
with 5 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren, and many nieces and
nephews.
She is preceded in death by her husband of 57 years Frank Wanzer,
her parents William and Marjoie Gribben, step-mother Ruby Hernandez, 3
sisters Jamie Andrews, Marjoie Williams, and Victoria Meants, and 3
brothers Bill Gribben, John O`rozco, and Mark Gribben.
