Elsa Katheryn Humphress, 88, of Campbellsville, KY, daughter of the late Stanley Lee and Alma Ross Kidwell Lee, was born September 15, 1934 in Monroe County, KY. She died September 18, 2022 in Hardin County, KY.

Elsa professed her faith in Christ and was baptized at an early age. She was united in marriage to Winfred Jolly Humphress on December 15, 1951 and was a committed wife for over 70 years. Katheryn dedicated her life to her husband, her family, and her home. She was also affectionately called Mama, Kat, Mama Kat, Grandma, and Mammy by all who loved her. Katheryn blessed others with her excellent cooking skills and never hesitated to feed anyone who graced her doorstep or was in need. As a devoted homemaker, she was the epitome of a ‘neighborhood momma’ and touched the lives of many children over the years. She loved tending to her flowers and plants and everything she touched flourished. Katheryn cherished having her very large family around her during the holidays and a full house was exactly what she desired.
