Katie was born on June 6, 1943, in Mishawaka, Indiana, the daughter of Paul and Jean (Byer) McMahan. They moved to Dubuque when Katie was three years of age. She graduated from Dubuque Wahlert High School and Clark College in Dubuque in 1966.

Katie was a loving wife and mother, caring for their son Paul, and making a warm and comfortable home for her family was her greatest joy. She also enjoyed reading and doing cross-stitch.

Survivors include her husband George and son Paul Smith of Sac City; sister-in-law Joann McMahan of Denver, CO; uncle A. P. McMahan of Mercer Island, WA; and four nieces and nephews.

Katie was preceded in death by her parents and brother Anthony McMahan.
