Kathleen Ann Hill “Kathy”, age 68, of Satanta, Kansas passed from this life on to her eternal life on December 18th, 2022, in Norman, Oklahoma. Kathy was born December 14th, 1954, in Aurora, Colorado, to Martha Ann Smith. She spent her childhood in Guymon, Oklahoma, and was raised by her loving grandparents Carl and Bea Grove.

In 1971, Kathy married Johnny Davidson in Guymon, Oklahoma, and out of this union were two children, Jacki, and Harley Davidson. Kathy raised her two oldest children in Guymon, Oklahoma, and Moscow, Kansas.

Kathy was joined in marriage to her current husband, Robert Hill “Rowdy”, on March 18th, 1988, in Ulysses, Kansas. Rowdy and Kathy were long-time Satanta and Moscow area residents. They raised their three youngest children in Satanta. Kathy began her cattle processing operation, devoted to the area, in the mid-1990s. She worked diligently as the owner/operator for 20-plus years. Kathy spent many days standing on hard concrete and covered in cow manure. It’s no exaggeration that Kathy could outwork most men. Kathy was known for her love of animals and her family. The farm they raised her children on was often referred to as the “Funny Farm” because you just never knew what animal you might find on the property. Anything from an Emu to their much-beloved miniature donkey, Ferdinand. Kathy had a huge heart for people. It was known that everyone was accepted in her home and with her family. There were many Thanksgivings and Christmases that Kathy hosted people who had nowhere else to go. She was always sure to have a gift for them and make sure they felt part of the family.

Kathy is survived by her husband Robert “Rowdy” Hill, of the home, and son Harley Davidson, Moscow, KS. Daughter Jacki Romero Davidson, Guymon, OK. Daughter Leslie Hill, Ulysses, KS. Son Jacob Hill and wife Tiffany, Enid, OK, and daughter Nichole Roldan and husband Jonathan, Colorado Springs, CO. She is also survived by her 13 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, her sister Debbie Rickers and husband Richard, Hugoton, KS, brother-in-law Vernon Hill, Topeka, KS, and a host of many other family members and friends.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents Carl and Bea Grove, brother Arthur Wing Jr, sister Joyce Wing, daughter Rikki Nicole Williams, mother- Martha Ann Smith, mother-in-law- Patricia Hill, and father-in-law – Verl Dean Hill.
