Helen Y. "Yvonne" Kah
d. January 5, 2016
Yvonne Kah, 86, of Wapakoneta died at 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, January 5, 2016, at The Gardens of Wapakoneta.
She was born on August 23, 1929 in Darke County to L. Bernard and Mary Helen (Hardman) Littman.
Yvonne attended Versailles High School. She graduated as an RN from The Miami Valley Hospital School of Nursing on September 9, 1950. On October 7 of that year she married Alan Frederick "Fritz" Kah. Fritz and Yvonne were married just three months shy of their 61st wedding anniversary.
After being married, Yvonne and Fritz settled down in Wapakoneta. She began her 44-year nursing career at St. Mary's Hospital (Joint Township District Memorial Hospital) and retired from St. Rita's Medical Center. Three children, Steven A. (Mary) Kah of Grayslake, IL, Ellen Y. Kah of Perrysburg, OH, and Eric A. (Pam) Kah, Wapakoneta, OH were privileged to call her Mom.
Sadly, we lost Eric on May 5, 2015. Fritz passed away on July 12, 2011. She was also preceded in death by her parents.
Other survivors include her aunt, Ruth (Hardman) Worley, Bellefontaine, OH; sister, Dottie (Richard) Marlin of N. Miami Beach FL; Steven's daughter, Linda (John) Meyer and their son Mason Alan Meyer, Crystal Lake, IL; and, Pam's daughter, Jenny Gutierrez and her two sons, Anthony and Alex, Bowling Green, OH. Pam now resides in Perrysburg, OH.
Yvonne and Fritz were long-time members of St. Paul U.C.C., Wapakoneta.
Special thanks is given to the wonderful and caring staff at The Gardens for their compassion and exceptional care during her residency there. Also to St. Rita's Hospice who made the journey with us and gave valuable guidance when we needed it most, and to the congregation of St. Paul Church who never forgot about her.
Per Yvonne's wishes, there will be no visitation at this time. Family services will be held at a later date with burial at Greenlawn Cemetery.
The family has entrusted Schlosser Funeral Home & Cremation Services to handle the arrangements.
