Kathy passed away peacefully on January 16, 2026. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 63 years, Larry Cartwright.
Kathy spent many years helping on the family farm in Denver, lovingly known as “Ponderosa,” and took great pride in being a devoted homemaker. In the 1970s, she and Larry shared an entrepreneurial spirit, opening a small grocery store and luncheonette called “Larry’s,” followed by a motorcycle and snowmobile business.
After retiring, Kathy and Larry fulfilled a dream of traveling together, exploring much of the country in their fifth wheel, including memorable trips to Alaska and Nova Scotia. Kathy found great joy in traveling, supporting her sons at their sporting events—never missing a game—and spending time with her cherished Dachshunds.
Kathy is lovingly remembered by her sons, Kennie and Russell (Lori) Cartwright; her grandchildren, Shaynan, Tyler (Harmony), Justin, Dane, and Tara; and her great-grandchildren, Sawyer and Kinsley. She is also survived by Vikki Peterson, who was like a daughter to her.
In keeping with Kathy’s wishes, no services will be held. Those who wish to honor her memory may make a donation to the Vega Cemetery.
