Kathrine Emanuelsson

1950-2009

 

Kathrine Emanuelsson returned to her Heavenly Father on June 15, 2009,  surrounded by her family and friends.  She faced her many illnesses with courage, grace and good humor.  Kathrine was born to Henrik and Ragnhild Emanuelsson on July 14, 1950 in Stockholm, Sweden.   She and her family moved to Salt Lake City in 1958 where she attended school and graduated from South High School in 1969.  Kathrine's greatest achievement were her three children, whom she cared for and loved above all else.  Kathrine loved adventure, traveling, painting, sewing, and other crafts.  She treasured the years she lived in Sweden with her sons.  Before her illnesses she enjoyed dancing, running and riding her bike, especially around Balboa Island.  Kathrine loved to talk and could keep you on the phone for hours.  She was a nurturer and enjoyed caring for people, especially children and animals.  To most people she was known as "Aunt Kathrine."  She loved to make people happy and tried to do as much as possible.  In her heart she was Wonder Woman, but her physical limitations made her unable to accomplish all that she wanted to do.  Kathrine is loved by many because of the love she gave and the wonderful, kind, considerate person she was.  You could always count on her to be there for you and make you smile, even though she was suffering so much.  Kathrine's life was filed with love for her family, friends and complete belief of the gospel.  She leaves behind a legacy of faith, love and charity. She will be missed greatly.  Kathrine is survived by her children; Stephanie Davis,  Mark Jonathon Glowski, Lars-Erik Emanuellsson, and many more family and friends.  A special thanks to Julie Askerlund for always being there.  A celebration of Kathrine's life will be held June 22, 2009 at her church for an open house/viewing.  Food will be provided so we can share our memories and be happy, the way Kathrine wanted.  Funeral services will be held Tuesday June 23, 2009 at Mountain View Memorial 3115 East 7800 South.  In lieu of flowers, donation would be greatly appreciated and can be made at any America First Credit Union in the name of Kathrine Emanuellsson Memorial Fund.
