Kathleen Bass Roys
MAZOMANIE - Kathy Roys (Bass) of Mazomanie, died on Wednesday, May 9, 2012, at home, surrounded by family after a short battle with cancer.
She was born in Richland Center on Sept. 12, 1957, the daughter of Robert and Donna (Lyon) Bass. She attended Wisconsin Heights High School, and then vocational school in Fenimore. Later she graduated with her Accounting Degree from MATC in 2000. She enjoyed waitressing all through life. Most recently, she was employed at Madison Credit Union from 1996 to 2010.
Kathy's most precious treasures were her family. She loved her grandchildren so much. She took them on walks through the woods, camping, pretend fires, swimming, and had lots of fun playing dress-up. Her camera was always within arm's reach. It was annoying at times, but her thousands of pictures tell so many stories. Florida was a special place to her. She loved the sandy beaches, collecting seashells, and creating memories. Every memory was a special memory. She enjoyed gardening and just being outdoors. Kathy was also an over-comer of many obstacles throughout life, but always strived to do better. Happy Mother's Day Mom, we love you bunches and bunches and bunches and even more than that.
She is survived by her parents, Robert and Donna (Lyon) Bass; her children, Melissa (Thornton) Wheeler (Matt Wheeler), Evelyn (Thornton) Gust (David Gust), Amy (Thornton) Andreas (Josh Andreas); six grandchildren, Oceona Wolf, Willow Gust, Dominik Miller, John Andreas, Brianna Andreas and Abigail Wheeler; her other half, Jim Roys; two brothers, Ric (Lani Rochon) Bass and Mike (Dee) Bass; and two nephews, Jake Bass and Tyler Bass.
Kathy was preceded in death by her grandparents, Howard and Evelyn Lyon and Clifford and Beatrice Bass.
A Funeral Service will be held at NEW HEIGHTS LUTHERAN CHURCH, Mazomanie, at 3 p.m. on Monday, May 14, 2012. Visitation will be held from 1 p.m. until the time of service at the church.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at Agrace Hospice for their services and support in our time of need.
