Katherine Albright, 71, of Webster, FL, passed away peacefully on April 2, 2025. She was born on March 12, 1954, in Raleigh, Mississippi. Katherine is survived by her siblings: Arthur (Sharon) Kitchens, sister-in-law: Polly Hamm. She was a devoted mother to her three biological children, John (Christina) Nichols, Melissa Mott, and Ernie (Brenda) Walker. She also leaves behind seven cherished grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren, all of whom she loved dearly. Katherine's love extended far beyond her immediate family. Over the years, she welcomed many "bonus" children and grandchildren into her heart-whether through marriage, friendships, or simply a child in need of kindness. Her generosity knew no bounds; even when she had little, she always found a way to share. She was known for her thoughtfulness, always sending greeting cards for every occasion. Katherine had a special gift for selecting the perfect card and ensuring it arrived at just the right time. More than anything, she treasured spending time with her family. Her warmth and kindness left a lasting impact on everyone she met. For 13 years, Katherine served as a manager at the Swap-O-Rama in Webster, FL, where she made many lasting friendships. She was preceded in death by her parents, Roscoe & Mary Kitchens and Millard Hamm. Sibling: Clifford Hamm and Patricia Perkins. A casual gathering to celebrate Kathy's life will be held on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the Swap-O-Rama in Webster, FL. Lunch will be provided as friends and family come together to honor her memory. Katherine's kindness, love, and unwavering generosity will be dearly missed but never forgotten.
