Born January 21, 1924, in Saline County, she was the daughter of the late Forrest Lee Moseley and Virginia Kathryn Brockway Moseley. Mary Kathryn lived in Saline County her entire life and was a 1942 graduate of Marshall High School. On December 3, 1944, she married Robert Jacob Feuers, who preceded her in death on April 12, 2002. Mary Kathryn lived a very full life during her 98 years. During World War II, she supported the effort by working in Kansas City where she made crystals that were used in radio communications for the war planes. She then worked at Marshall State School and Hospital, the Saline County Sheriff’s Department where she was a secretary and deputized as a Deputy Sheriff, and she served as the assistant postmistress at the Arrow Rock Post Office. While she had jobs outside the home, it never diminished her ability to be a homemaker for her daughters and an active farm wife. Arrow Rock was a very special place for Mary Kathryn and she was a 68 year member of the Arrow Rock Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. She was a long time member of Arrow Rock Federated Church and though she wasn’t the church minister, she ministered in her own way by sending hand written letters, cards, and words of encouragement to many people. Mary Kathryn will forever be remembered as a true lady of “The Greatest Generation”, a person who had such an uplifting, positive and happy spirit inside her, yet was a very humble person.
Survivors include two daughters, Linda Wallace of Seattle, WA and Barbara Thieman of Columbia, MO; four grandchildren: Bronson Ketchum, Ben Ketchum, Crystal Thomas and Amy Lynn Thieman-Bhalla; five great-grandchildren: Bronson Robert Ketchum, Levi Ketchum, Hunter Ketchum, Allison Ketchum and Lauren Ketchum; as well as nieces, nephews and other extended family.
Mary Kathryn was preceded in death by her parents and husband, one sister, Dorothy Kruger, and a brother in infancy, Frank Howard Moseley.
