Katherine Moulder's Obituary
Katherine Spiller Moulder, daughter of Willis Guy and Etta Lorance Spiller, was born April 14, 1908, in Lebanon, Missouri. She departed this life Sunday, August 19, 2007, in Cox Medical Center South, in Springfield, Missouri, at the age of ninety-nine years, four months, and five days. In 1925, she was united in marriage to Cady George Moulder, and to this union two daughters and two sons were born. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Cady, in 1971; a son, David Moulder; and a sister, Elinor A. Curtis. Katherine is survived by a son, Tom Moulder, and his companion, Anne Fearman, of Springfield, Missouri; two daughters, Elizabeth Moulder, of Pueblo, Colorado, and Barbara Bush, and her husband, Charles, of Greeley, Colorado; four grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren; a sister, Virginia Carpenter, of Herculaneum, Missouri; several nieces and nephews; as well as a host of other relatives and friends. She was born and raised in the Lebanon area and graduated from Lebanon High School in the Class of 1925. After she and Cady were married, they made their home in Lebanon, and lovingly raised their children. For the next several years, Katherine was a devoted homemaker to her husband and family. Later, when her children were raised, Katherine worked as a medical records librarian at the Wallace Hospital in Lebanon for ten years. For the last several years, she had made her home in Springfield to be closer to her son. Katherine made her profession of faith in Christ early in her life and was a longtime member of First Christian Church in Lebanon. In her younger years, she enjoyed playing golf in her spare time. She was an avid bridge player and belonged to more than one bridge club in Lebanon for several years. Her family was very important to her and she especially enjoyed her grandchildren. Katherine was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister, and aunt, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and her accomplishments and will cherish the wonderful memories she created for her family and friends. Graveside services will be held at 2:00 p.m. Monday, August 27, 2007, in the Lebanon Cemetery. Friends may call at the funeral home at their convenience.
