BOHN

Katherine A. Bohn, 81, formerly of Sparta, Illinois, died peacefully on March 25, 2019, in Vancouver, Washington, at The Quarry Senior Living.

She was a devoted and well-loved wife, mother, and grandmother. She faithfully made a home for her family wherever the United States Air Force sent them: Germany, Japan, Washington DC, Scott AFB. In the 1990s, she was a medical transcriptionist in Belleville, IL, and a Westminster Presbyterian Deacon. During the 1970s and 1980s, she was active in the Officers Wives Club: writing a weekly column, chairing their Welfare Committee, and compiling a cookbook, Gluten Appetite, to fund that committee. She had a sincere faith in Jesus Christ as her personal savior.  She had a great love for animals, especially dogs.  Katherine will be missed by her entire family.

Katherine Bohn is survived by her daughters Erin (David) Vander Aarde of Vancouver, Washington, and Corinne (Ron) Voyer of Wiesbaden, Germany and grandchildren Lauren, Natalya, and Alex. She is preceded in death by her husband, James N. Bohn on September 15, 2015. She is also preceded in death by her parents and sister, Dorothy Sargent.

Katherine Bohn was born on April 17, 1937, in Peru, Indiana, to Lawrence and Mildred Sargent. She graduated from Peru High School in 1955 and married James N. Bohn (U.S. Air Force Colonel and Webster University International Relations Professor) on June 28, 1959, in Indianapolis, Indiana.
