Kathleen was born in Calgary on October 26, 1946 and grew up on a family farm south of Rockyford. In November of 1965 she married Thomas Harris Walls and resided in Regina for a short period while Thomas served with the Royal Canadian Air Force as a heavy duty mechanic. In 1966, they returned to the family farm in Nightingale, and on August 19, 1966 Audra Marie was born, followed by Jacqueline Ann in July of 1967 and Cheryl Kathleen in December of 1970. Tragically Thomas' life was taken by an automobile accident September 18, 1972. Kathleen and her girls moved to Strathmore, then High River in 1975 where she was employed by the Royal Bank. She requested a transfer and in 1978 moved to Calgary. Employers included Richfield Properties and other self employment opportunities. Kathleen married Vaughn Cutts in August of 1980. After moving from Calgary to Strathmore in 1982, they then moved to Nanton in 1984. Kathleen worked for the Nanton Golf Club and Silver Willow Lodge. In 1988 they returned to High River and in 1994 Kathleen was briefly employed by the A-7 Ranch of Nanton. In 1995 Kathleen and Vaughn purchased 40 acres outside of High River. Regrettably, Kathleen and Vaughn were divorced in January of 1998, Kathleen remained living at the acreage until her passing. Kathleen was a member of Midpark Christian Assembly where she felt she belonged and was loved and accepted by her church family. She was involved with ministries such as Rainbows, Hope College in Uganda and the administration of the church. Kathleen or 'Grams' as she was known to her grandchildren lived for the times she spent with family but especially the times she spent with her grandchildren. She was very excited about the upcoming arrival of her fourth grandchild to arrive in August (Cheryl and Myles first baby). Kathleen's favorite activities included riding her horse, Buck, particularly west of Nanton, visiting good friends, attending Christian Cowboy Church and many other Christian cultural events. Her faith in Christ was dominant in every aspect of her life. Kathleen is survived by her children Audra (Darren) Reinhardt, their children Mikayla Jane and Karl Thomas; Jackie Clark and son Joshua David Thomas Walls; and Cheryl (Myles) Saunders. Also brothers and sisters, Fred (Twena) Koester, Rosemarie (Ivan) Walls, Richard (Chiri) Koester, Jimmy (Rhonda) Koester, Teresa (David) Feist and numerous nieces and nephews. Kathleen was predeceased by her brother Gerald Koester on December 18, 1943, her first husband Thomas Harris Walls, on September 18, 1972, her mother Margaret Koester (Heinzlmeir) on March 11, 1974, and her father Herman Koester on April 3, 1994. Kathleen was well known and loved by all who knew her. It has been said that she had a gentle and compassionate spirit with the gift of mercy granted to her by our Lord. She gave her heart and soul in her relationships and was known to be very loyal. Our Mom would have given anything to anyone in need and had a special concern for children who were hungry or lonely. She will be missed passionately by all who knew her, but we rejoice that she is in heaven with our Lord in all of His splendor.
