Kathy was a proud alumna of the College of St. Benedict in St. Joseph, Minn., and earned degrees in English and music, laying the foundation for a lifetime dedicated to enriching the minds and souls of others. Her journey as an educator took her from the classrooms of Jamestown, N.D., to the halls of Rapid City, S.D., and Grand Forks, N.D., where her passion for teaching ignited the flames of knowledge in generations of students. In 1968, she married Dick Witt and moved to Chicago to start their family. Kathy was a loving mother of Joel (Vicki) Witt of Chandler, Ariz., Jonelle (Steve) Burnham of Shafer, Minn., Carrie (Mark) Engstrom of Bellevue, Wash., and Casey Witt of Chicago; brother Jack (Jan) Wild of Osnabrock, N.D.; and sister Pat (Doyle) Schulz of Bismarck, N.D.; many treasured nieces and nephews; and seven grandchildren: Alex, Abby, Zach, Josie, Will, Gertie, and Nate. Kathy is predeceased by her parents and brother Michael.
