Obituary of Kathryn Sue Cason

     Kathryn “Kitty” Sue Cason, of Burlington, KY went to her glory peacefully at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Edgewood, KY on Friday, September 25, 2020 at the age of 96.  She was born in Union, KY on September 29, 1923; the daughter of the late Aubrey Thomas Knox and Hazel Lena Knox (née Williams). Kitty spent part of her working life as a telegraph operator at Western Union. She was also an avid reader.  Kitty most enjoyed Christian literature--especially studying her Bible. A longtime member of Fort Mitchell Baptist Church, Kitty had recently been attending Hebron Baptist alongside her family. She loved walking and spending time working in her garden amongst her vegetables and flowers. Kitty was also a huge fan of University of Kentucky Basketball (GO CATS!).  

     Her deepest love however, was for her family. Those who passed on before Kitty include her husband and best friend, Granville “Bruce” Cason; many beloved brothers and sisters; her cherished sons, Joe and Butch Cason; her grandsons, Don Cason, Jr.  and Levi Fisher; as well as her son-in-law, Bob Patterson. Those left on to carry Kitty’s light are her caring children, Suzanne Patterson, Greg (Cheryl) Cason, Diane (Tom) Fanning, Don (Theresa) Cason, Jackie (Ron) Akin; in addition to fifteen grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild.

     A visitation for Kitty will take place from 11:00 AM until 1:00 PM on Tuesday, October 6th at Hebron Baptist Church, 3435 Limaburg Rd, Hebron, KY 41048. Due to the current Covid-19 state restrictions, the mandatory wearing of face masks is required, temperatures will be taken upon entering the facility and attendance will be limited to 50% of the church’s capacity, while still maintaining 6 feet of social distancing.

     A funeral service will immediately follow at 1:00 PM at the church. Kitty will then be laid to rest next to her husband at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Erlanger, KY.
