Obituary

Lodi, WI-

Kathleen “Katie” Vaught, age 65, passed away on Sunday, November 17, 2024, at home in her sleep. She was born on January 3, 1959, in Crystal, MN, the daughter of Robert and Donna (Meyer) Morey.

Katie grew up in Sauk Rapids, MN. She was the fourth of six siblings. Katie, early on developed a no-nonsense, can-do spirit. She was known to “hold her own” growing up alongside her five siblings Blair “Geno” Morey, Steven Morey, Nan Morey, John Morey, Joe Morey, and made sure she was loud enough for all to hear.

After graduating from high school, Katie joined the military (Army) where she met the love of her life, Daniel Vaught, while stationed in Germany. They were married on June 11, 1988, and shared 36 wonderful years together and many adventures. Katie was a loving wife and mother to her two children, Kyle Vaught, and Samantha Vaught.

Katie and Dan loved adventure and traveled often, spending the winter months in Destin, Florida. Katie loved nothing more than being surrounded by family, sharing stories and playing cards.

Katie is survived by her husband, Daniel Vaught; her two children, Kyle R. (Kristi) Vaught & Samantha J. Vaught; and her siblings, Blair “Geno” (Lynn) Morey, Nannette “Nan” Morey, John (Bonnie) Morey, and Joe (Liz) Morey.

Katie is preceded in death by her parents, Robert & Donna Morey, and her older brother, Steven Morey.

A funeral service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, November 22, 2024, at Ryan Funeral Home, Windsor/DeForest Chapel, 6924 Lake Road. Visitation will be held from 1:00 p.m. until the time of service on Friday at the funeral home.

So many good memories of Katie, and they're all with happiness. She & Dan were on a RV trip a few years back and after visiting their son, they made their way to Apache Junction to see our Eveslage family. Katie visited Jeanne and was awed by her homemade quilts. Jeanne gifted Katie with a quilt. We went to visit Dan and Katie that evening in their RV and after all our fun was over, Katie was so proud to snuggle inside her quilt for a good nights rest. Katie's love that she carried and shared was strong, and she will be deeply thought of.
