Kathleen Ellen Fultz, loving mother of Linda, Gary, Sue, and Dick, passed into the Lord’s hands at Prairie Mission Retirement Village in St. Paul, on Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2024, at the age of 101.
Kathleen was born July 6, 1922, to Orion and Effie (McDade) Powers. She taught school at Savonburg for two years before getting married to Warren Fultz on Nov. 9, 1945, in Hollister, Calif. They then moved back and made their home in Iola. She was active in numerous clubs in her earlier years.
Kathleen was an active member of First Christian Church in Iola for 70 years. She loved reading, quilting, doing genealogy searches for her family, walking, and traveling with friends and family.

Kathleen is survived by children, Linda (Bob) Houghton of Erie, Sue (Jerry) Payne of Tulsa, Okla., and Gary (Terri) Fultz of Osage City; brother, Larry Powers of Jenks, Okla.; 14 grandchildren; and 28 great-grandchildren.
