Katherine I. Dahlke, 97, Good Shepherd Home, Seymour (formerly of Bellevue-Angelus Retirement Community, Green Bay, and also Oshkosh), was called home to her Lord and Savior on Saturday, Aug. 29, 2009. Katherine was born Oct. 13, 1911, to Charles E. and Ottilie "Tillie" (Heimann) Rollins in Mattoon, Wis. An early love of music led to years of piano studies and a time as organist at the Mattoon Methodist Church. After graduating from Mattoon High School in 1929, Katherine moved to Oshkosh to study at the Oshkosh Business College where she received a certificate in bookkeeping and stenography. She worked as a secretary for Geer Murray Company, an Oshkosh advertising firm, until her marriage to Norman C. Dahlke on Sept. 20, 1941. Afterward, she worked as a typist for Universal Motors in Oshkosh. When her family was grown, Katherine returned to work, this time as a medical transcriptionist for Dr. Leslie Stone. Katherine was a member of Peace Lutheran Church in Oshkosh. Her interests centered primarily around her family, but also included sewing, crocheting, playing cards, bowling and gardening. She is survived by her two daughters and sons-in-law, Judith (Dennis) Urbanek, Wausau; Kathleen (Gary) McFarlane, Green Bay; her five grandchildren and their spouses, Edward (Rebecca) Urbanek, New Glarus; Elise Urbanek, Edinburgh, Scotland; Timothy Urbanek, Madison; Maureen McFarlane, Grafton; and Jolene (Alexander) Kroboth, Hoepfigheim, Germany; three great-grandchildren, Josiah, Emelie and Jeremiah Kroboth, all of Hoepfigheim, Germany; and nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, Norman; her parents; and her sister, Agnes J. Salomon.
