Katheryn Mae Ginther Dec. 29, 1944 - May 11, 2011 "Quit hanging on to the reins . . . Let go. Surrender. Go for the ride of your life. Do it every day."
On Wednesday May 11, 2011, surrounded by family and friends, Kathy went to be with her Lord and Savior. Mom lived to experience the adventure and joy in each day! Whether with her family, nursing, an adventure on the trail, or in the arena, she did not miss an opportunity to celebrate life!
Kathy was born in Twin Falls, ID on December 29, 1944. Helen May Kaufel Ginther and Ray Harold Ginther anticipated a New Year's baby, but as in all of her life she was not predictable. She reveled in growing up on the farm and helping outdoors. Her Mother always shooed her outside to help her Dad with the cattle, farm and small stock.
As a result her passion for the great outdoors bloomed and her knowledge of the traditional female role; oblivious. She raised lambs, cocker spaniel puppies, and piglets to earn college money from an early age.
During high school and college she enjoyed riding drill team with the Filer Wranglerettes. In 1965 she graduated from St. Alphonsus School of Nursing. Her nurturing hands provided care in every major medical center in Boise serving patients in the ER, ICU, open heart and orthopedic surgery.
In 2005, after 40 years of nursing, Kathy retired from Saint Alphonsus Orthopedic institute. In retirement she enjoyed time with her grandchildren, Hailey, Simon, and Helen.
Every day was a good day for a trail ride, and in 2006 Kathy joined the Ada County Sheriff's Mounted Possettes. The team embraced Kathy's giving spirit and zealousness for time in the saddle. She was early to every practice and performance. In the rodeo arena she radiated her love of equestrian flight.
Since June of 2010, Kathy has bravely worked to defy a terminal cancer diagnosis. In the last 10 months the outpouring of love from family and friends had been so humbling. We thank you for reflecting her love for you back to us in our time of need. Doctor William Kreisle and the nursing staff at St. Luke's MISTI treated and nurtured all of us through this tough time.
In the last week of her life the nurses and aides at the Good Samaritan Society cared for Kathy and family with love and compassion.
Kathy is survived by her daughter, Maria Kilgo (John); son, Ray Moore (Gabrielle); grandchildren, Hailey and Simon Moore and Helen Kilgo; in addition to aunts, cousins and friends.
Kathy's love of the Lord is planted in her children and grandchildren.
