Kathryn Maxine Hulleman passed away April 4, 2006, at Griffin Nursing Center in Knoxville, Iowa, where she had been a resident since September, 1998.

Katie, as she preferred to be called, was born January 19, 1922, in Marshalltown, Iowa, to Forrest and Mable Stover Rice. Her family later moved to Des Moines where she attended North High School completing the twelfth grade.

Katie was introduced to Rick Hulleman by mutual friends and they later eloped to Missouri on February 14, 1942.

Katie and her husband farmed near Otley, Iowa, for many years. In 1960 they moved into Otley and operated the Otley Lunch until 1969.

Following her husband's death in 1990 Katie continued living in Otley until 1998. She then moved into Fair Haven East in Pella, Iowa. She broke her hip shortly after the move to Pella and went to Griffin Nursing Center where she stayed until her death.

Katie is survived by her two children and their spouses: JoAnn and Wayne Langstraat of Columbia, Iowa, and Ronald and Ruth Hulleman of Pella; five grandchildren: Rick and Lucy Langstraat, Kathy and James Mathes, Brenda Belloma, Robin and Matt Smith, and Ryan Hulleman; twelve great-grandchildren: Rick Jr., William, and Lucas Langstraat, Candi Mathes, Jesse and Angela Mathes, Kaci and David Poe, Justin Mathes, Emily and Adam Belloma, Macy, Montana, and Jaedon Smith; one great-great-grandchild: Serenity Mathes; one sister: MaryAnn Harlan of Des Moines; and one brother: Kenny Rice of Montezuma.

She was preceded in death by her husband and parents.

Katie will be missed by her family and friends but they will always cherish the many memories she made in her lifetime.

Arrangements were made by the Garden Chapel Funeral Home in Pella.
