Kathy was born on March 12, 1946, to Gerard “Gerry” and Adelaide “Addie” (Dosmann) Canfield. On April 23, 1966, she married Douglas “Doug” Wilkins, her best friend, who together shared over fifty years in laughter and love. They were lifelong residents of the South Bend, Granger area.Kathy is survived by her husband, Doug Wilkins, Granger, IN, daughters, Laurie A. (Randy) Main of Osceola, IN, and Brooke M. (D.C.) Curry of Franklin, TN. She had three grandchildren whom she adored, Zach Main, 19, of Osceola, IN, Jada Curry, 6, and Nelly Curry, 5, both of Franklin, TN. She also had three step-grandchildren, Michelle (Matt) Ruhnow, Randall (Dyana Gray) Main, Jr., and Ryan (Melissa McKeever) Main.

Kathy was a stay-at-home mom and then began her career outside the home, where most will remeber her as “The Voice of Memorial Hospital”. She worked 26 years as Switchboard and Information/Receptionist and after retiring, was recruited by Dr. Roger Pecina, AFDENT Dental, as his receptionist, because “he liked the way she took care of people”. She happliy gave seven years of service there, before retiring once again. Kathy always put herself on the back burner, making certain her family was happy and well taken care of. She made sure to share with all she could, the great sense of pride she had for her children and grandchildren. She will always be remembered for her loving unselfishness, her contagious laughter and smile! An Irish Blessing... May the road rise up to meet you, May the wind always be at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rain fall soft upon your fields, And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand.Graveside service will take place at 2:30 pm, Wednesday, December 7, 2016, Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens, Osceola, IN. Kathy's celebration of life will be held at McGann Hay Funeral Home, 13260 State Road 23, Granger, IN 46530. Visitation will begin at 4:00 pm with service to follow at 5:00 pm.
