ZANESVILLE
Kathryn J. Wonderling, 90 of Zanesville passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, Wednesday April 13, 2016 at Genesis Hospice Morrison House. Kathryn was born October 17, 1925 in Millersburg, Ohio. She was the daughter late Earlis and Mary Rickey Troyer. Kathryn was a former longtime resident of Gahanna, Ohio.

Kathryn will be fondly remembered as a caring and supportive wife of a military husband, a loving mother and a loyal friend. Being a military wife and mother is one of the hardest jobs you can have. Through all of the transfers and moves, around the country, Kathryn was the backbone of the family. She managed to keep everything organized, took care of all her children’s needs and always turned wherever we lived into a home. Mom enjoyed volunteering, loved to garden, was an avid reader and was every inch a lady.
Kathryn is survived by her three children and their spouses; David(Debbie) Wonderling of Olney, Maryland, Donna (Larry) McCoy of Zanesville, Ohio and Richard (Diana) Wonderling of Kettering, Ohio. She is also survived by six granddaughters; Tracy, Carrie, Cindy, Erin, Katie and Sarah, eight great-grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews. Also surviving are her sister and brother-in-law, Ruth (Don) McClelland and a special niece, Charlotte Becker.
