Kathryn (Kate) Pendleton
Kate was born in Reno on March 16, 1972 and passed away on February 22, 2016.
She was a proud graduate of Merry Berry Preschool, Roy Gomm Elementary School, Swope Middle School, Reno High School, and the University of Nevada, Reno. She lived an exciting and adventurous life - from running a marathon, jumping out of airplanes, to SCUBA diving in the depths of the oceans. She sought out the unusual path; she made the journey her life, and took in the people, the sights, the smells, and the sounds of all, in seeking her destination.
Kate was the beloved daughter of father, Bruce and mother, Peggy; step-mother, Anne; sister, Paige (Jim), brother, Eric (Michelle), step-sisters, Katy (Frank), Jessyca (Dan); and was the adored "Auntie Kate" to nieces, Maddy, Isabella, and Joley, and nephews, Brian, Henry, Nate, and Drew. She had a large and loving extended family who adored her immensely.
Kate's contagious smile welcomed everyone's friendship and her beautiful loving heart sustained those friendships. There are no adequate words to describe how she will be missed. "God bless you Kate. We know, without a doubt, that you are in His warm embrace and are finally at peace, our precious darling one."
Services will be held at 3:00 pm on Friday, March 4th, at the South Reno Baptist Church, 6780 South McCarran Blvd., Reno, after which a Celebration of Her Life will take place at The Grove, 95 Foothill Road, Reno, 4:30 pm to 7:30 pm, where memories will be shared.
In lieu of flowers, a donation in her memory to the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation, 90 Park Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, NY 10016, would be so appreciated.
