She was the Daughter of Kenneth and Ruth (Olson) Berg. Kathy married Jim "Tiny" Anderson on Sept. 1 1962.

She was a charter member of Stoughton Lioness Club and she and Jim were king and queen of Syttende Mai in 1973. Kathy's enjoyments were her family, grandkids, dogs, reading, doing puzzles, knitting, being an avid Badgers, Packers and Nascar fan and the Northern woods where she has resided for over 15 years. Kathy is survived by her high school sweetheart and husband of 54 years, Jim "Tiny" Anderson; her daughters, Kari (Steve) Hauger and Kristi (Casey) Gibney; and her son, Kirk (Sheree) Anderson, all of Stoughton; her brother, Larry Berg of Medford, Ore.; grandchildren, Christopher, Karissa and Cameron Hauger and Hannah Anderson; and her Golden Retrievers, Buddy and Gunnar. She was preceded in death by her parents; and her in-laws, Marvin and Eleanor Anderson.

May you always walk in sunshine and God's around you flow, for the happiness you gave us, no one will ever know. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone, a part of us went with you, the day God called you home. A million times we needed you, a million times we've cried. If love could only have saved you, you never would have died. The Lord be with you and may you rest in peace.

Dear Katherine was on duty at St Mary's Hospital when my son, Benjamin was born. She made sure he got the most loving and special care. We shared our love of dogs- especially golden retrievers.
Special thoughts, prayers and love to the family, Cousin, Sara (Olson) and husband, Rene Souza.
