Kathryn M. Beery

Kathryn M. Beery, 77, of Decatur, Indiana passed away on Saturday, May 16, 2020, at the Ossian Health & Rehabilitation Center in Ossian, Indiana.

She was born January 20, 1943, in Crawfordsville, Indiana, the daughter of the late Floyd Hullinger and the late Loretta Mae (Meese) Hullinger. Kathryn was married on September 28, 1963, to Michael L. Beery and he preceded her in death on July 5, 2007.

Kathryn attended the Bridge Community Church in Decatur until her health prevented her from continuing to attend. She loved golfing and was active in the Ladies Golf League in Decatur for many years.

Always having a strong work ethic, she was a waitress at the Back 40 restaurant in Decatur, a former hairdresser, a deli manager at Scott’s in Decatur, co-owner of the Country Corner Deli in Monroe, and current owner of Decatur U-Stor-It.

Kathryn was an avid shopper and collector of many unique items. Kathryn had a very caring heart. She wouldn’t turn away those who were in need. She loved kids in general and most of all her grandchildren. Her life revolved around her work and family. She would participate and support the various activities that her grandchildren were involved with. She was the matriarch of not only her immediate family, but also her siblings….she will be sorely missed by all of them.
