Kathryn A. Stump
Kathryn Ann Stump, of Lansing, MI, passed away peacefully on February 6, 2022.
Kathy gave her heart, generosity and kindness to all who knew her. A lifelong resident of the Lansing area, Kathy attended Holy Cross School and graduated from O’Rafferty High School. She went on to demonstrate her loyal and selfless nature by serving customers and co-workers throughout her 40-year career at Quality Dairy Company.
Kathy was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Gladys, and loving brothers Michael and Patrick. She is survived by Carl Leonard, brother Ron (Jan) Stump, sisters Sue (Robert) Erickson and Anne Stump, sister-in-law Penny Stump, as well as devoted nieces, nephews, cousins and aunts Patricia Snyder and Monica Pung.
Kathy’s favorite colors were green and white. She was a die-hard Michigan State fan and longtime Spartan hockey and football season ticket holder. A talented artist and animal lover, Kathy loved the family “Stumpcations,” casino visits, a raucous card game, and showing off her cookie decorating skills each Christmas.
Our family was blessed to have had Kathy in our lives. The world will not be as bright with her gone.
Our family wishes to thank the staff at CVICU Sparrow Hospital for the kindness they gave our family.
A celebration of Kathy’s life will be held this summer. Contributions in her memory may be made to the Capital Area Humane Society. Arrangements are by the Estes-Leadley Greater Lansing Chapel.
