Katherine (Gerry) Moulton

Katherine G. Moulton (92) passed away peacefully at Gosnell Memorial Hospice House on June 20, 2024, after a brief illness.

Born on February 23rd, 1932. The daughter of Elmer and Eva Gerry, she grew up in the Brixham area of York. A member of the largest class in the Brixham School... there were FOUR!

Graduated valedictorian, of York High School class of 1950. A year later married her high school sweetheart, Robert Moulton.

In 1960, with their own hands and the kindness of friends and family, they built their split-level house, which she would tell you is a decision you make not realizing you’re going to get old. Over the years they made it a home. Filling it with not only their own four children, but creating a second home for ever so many, who could always find a welcoming smile and a good meal.

Kate was a gifted artist (although too modest to say so), a great cook and even with her diminished eyesight, a crack shot. From childhood, her happiest times were spent in the out of doors, hunting, fishing and enjoying the wonders of Creation. And more recently, her morning cup of coffee with son-in-law Billy, watching Leave it to Beaver and discussing their plans for the day.

Kate was known by all for her sharp mind, dry wit, immutable honesty and her ability to speak the truth in love. The depth of her character was built by life’s sorrows, joys and immovable faith that was her constant guide. She didn’t wear the Jesus T-shirt, but she sure wore the shoes!

Although often frustrated by the limitations of an aging body, Kate remained fully engaged in living. The knees got creaky, and the eyes got dim, but she was still the brightest bulb in our box.

Katherine’s life was always, always about putting others first. Even in her final days, praying for others and encouraging all those around her. It is completely impossible to measure the value of this one simple life.

Predeceased by her husband Robert V. Moulton, sons; Gary V. Moulton and Timothy A. Moulton; grandson Dustin W. Mracek; and daughter in-law Gail A. Moulton.

She is survived by; daughter Wendy, her husband William Mracek; daughter Roxine Myshrall; grandchildren; Heather Bice, Ryan Moulton, Amber Kerly, Holly Mracek, Brianna Woodruff, Courtnay Moulton, Timothy Myshrall and Abby Myshrall; great-grandchildren; Hunter and Jillian Bice, Wyatt and Garrett Kerly, Gavin, Abbey and Luke Woodruff, Katherine and Samantha Moulton, Finnley Greene, Logan Myshrall and many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

A small service will be held with family and friends in July. Please contact a family member for details.
