Kathryn Joy Lundmark

Kathryn Joy Lundmark, 63, of Bradley, IL passed from this life into eternal rest on February 24, 2018 at Aperion Care in Wilmington, IL. She walked through the gates of heaven to a reunion like no other. She saw the bright lights shine; she tasted that crystal clear water and saw the Father standing at the door of her new home. I am sure there was great rejoicing as she embraced Jesus, her Mother and her Father, Timothy, John and Lois. Kathryn was born on August 30, 1954 in Kankakee, Illinois. She graduated from Olivet Nazarene University with a degree in Elementary Education. She enjoyed gardening and flowers but her greatest love was for her Lord and Savior. She made her nieces and nephews feel loved and very special in all that she did with them. Singing and playing the accordion was an expression of her love that brought joy to many. Gospel music brought peace to her soul. She was a loving, devoted caregiver for the elderly and her mother. She is survived by six brothers and their spouses, Paul (her twin) and Gleneva of Kankakee; James and Linda of Martinton; Joseph, David and Lisa, Peter and Cathy, all of Bradley; Rev. Daniel and Nancy Lundmark of Northampton, PA; sister, Rebecca McLaughlin of Cleveland, Tennessee; sister-in-law, Grace Lundmark of Whitehouse, TX; forty-two nieces and nephews; forty-four great nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by brothers, John and Timothy, sister, Lois along with her parents, Alfred and Lucille (Foreman) Lundmark. During her illness, Kathy continued to encourage her family to “never give up” living for the Lord. Her tender loving spirit will be greatly missed by her family, friends and all her nieces and nephews. Celebration of Life Memorial service for Kathryn Joy Lundmark will be held at 11:00 am Saturday, March 17, 2018 in the Legacy Center at Peoples Church on Career Center Road in Bourbonnais with Pastor Nick Pacholski officiating. Memorials may be made to the family’s wishes. Sign the guestbook at Jensen Memorial Chapel.
