Our Heavenly Father has called his faithful servant, Catherine Kinnard, back to her heavenly home.

Catherine was born to Harry and Mildred Olsen on April 23, 1937 in Safford, Arizona.

She married a handsome young man from Miami, Arizona named Bud Lee Kinnard on Oct. 19, 1957, in the Mesa Arizona Temple.

Catherine loved animals, especially cats, and has always had them in her life and home. She enjoyed reading anything that she could get her hands on. History was a passion of hers, especially church history. Being a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, she absolutely loved studying the scriptures and the gospel of Jesus Christ. She really shined as a teacher of the gospel in the many callings that she served in, including being called to service missions in the San Carlos and Superior branches of the church.

Visitation was held on Saturday, Dec. 3, 2022 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Claypool, Arizona at 9 a.m.

Funeral Services were held on Saturday, Dec. 3, 2022 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Claypool, Arizona at 10 a.m.
