PLEASE NOTE: Kate passed 8 August 2025, in Houston, Texas. A place she never wanted to live. As with all the family history things from my mother's life, this has been left to me, her youngest daughter, Madeline Leeman Ellis.

I have spent the last 25 years working with my mother to take photos and post them here on Find A Grave, as well as researching for the 15 family histories she was working on over on Ancestry.

If you have updates that need to be completed, or you are requesting the transfer of a memorial. I will take care of that as soon as I can.

A little about Kate:

She was born in Philadelphia, PA, and attended Mastbaum Voc Tech. High School (Go Panthers!) spent many years moving around the globe, and after she retired, she moved to the Phoenix, AZ, area in 2011. She remained in Phoenix, AZ, until 2022 when we moved to the Houston, TX, area.
