Obituary

Katherine Ann Kriedermann died on May 11, 2023 of metastatic breast cancer to the bones and multiple organs. Cancer may have ended her life but it never robbed her of her spirit. She was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, lived there for the first half of her life, and lived the rest of her life in Columbus, Ohio. She is predeceased by her parents Robert and Edith Kriedermann, mother-in-law Blanche Kyanko and brother-in-law, Donald Recore. Katherine is survived by her beloved spouse, Susan Kyanko. They have enjoyed life together since 2005, and married shortly after the Supreme Court decision in 2015. Katherine is also survived by her sister, Janet Recore, brother, Robert Kriedermann (Barb Carr), sisters-in-law, Teresa Mitchell (Bill), Paula Novak, and Mary Vincenti (Norm). Her precious nieces are Sarah, Katie, Danielle, Maria, and Anna, also nephews, Beau and Jake Kriedermann. She is also survived by a numerous and diverse group of friends who love her and, in turn, are loved and enjoyed by her. Her canine treasures are Daisy, the perfect Labrador and Rose, the Terrier/Aussie mix, who tries to do the best she can. Katherine enjoyed nature, the mountains, the ocean, the woods, kayaking, music, the OSU women's basketball team and reading. She cherishes kindness and is perplexed by cruelty.
