Schallock, Katherine J. "Kathy" (14 MAY 1968 - 14 FEB 2012)

 

Katherine (Kathy) J. Schallock, 43, of Neillsville, passed into eternal life on Feb. 14, 2012, at the Methodist Hospital in Rochester, Minn. She died from complications associated with her 13-month battle with leukemia. Her fiancé, family and friends were at her bedside. 

A memorial service will be held for Kathy at 11 a.m., Thursday, Feb. 16, 2012, at the Gesche Funeral Home in Neillsville. Pastor Douglas Bjerke will officiate. Visitation will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. Thursday, prior to the service at the funeral home.

Kathy was born on May 14, 1968, and from that day forth she lived life to the fullest. She was a character from day one — she was always making people laugh, usually at her crazy antics or from her teasing them. While she was usually laughing and having fun, she was also a huge softy — she cried during every sad movie she saw, loved animals, and would give anybody a shoulder to lean on or advice when it was needed. However, she was incredibly strong when it came to her own pain, and she weathered her illness with dignity and grace. She kept her sense of humor throughout everything, and was always trying to make everything easier on other people. She was an amazing mother, fiancé, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin and friend, and she will always be missed.

Surviving her are her loving daughter, Nicole Nagel, of Jacksonville, Fla.; her mother, Jo Anne Campitelle, of Neillsville; her father, Roger Hanby, of Granton; her sister, Terry Sims, of Jacksonville, Fla.; her brother, David (Mary Jo Meier) Hanby, of Neillsville; her step-mom, Darlene Hanby, of Granton; her step-sister, Karen Walls, of Mena, Ark.; her step-sister, Gail Lanswehr, of Stratford; her step-brother, Keith (Alex) Turville, of Jacksonville, Fla.; her loving friend and fiancé, Rick Dailey, of Neillsville; his son, Trevor Dailey, of Linden; her best friend, Lori (Mark) Shaw, of Marshfield; her dog, Abbie; and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. 

Kathy was preceded in death by her grandparents, John Campitelle, Mary Jane Russell, Meta Hanby and Richard Hanby, and her devoted dog of many years, Fritzy.
