We lost our beautiful wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, friend, and mother figure to many.  She passed away peacefully surrounded by family after a battle with chronic illness.

Ketsy was 71 years young and a resident of Kennewick, WA.  She was born in Pasco on September 13th, 1952, to Helen Louise and Charles Alexander Tompkins.

She has enjoyed a variety of activities throughout her years, from golfing, canoeing, woodworking, time with family during hunting season, traveling and most of all playing cards with family and friends.  Her family was her everything and she was their heart and soul.
