Graduation ceremonies were held in the Sheffield City Park of Whipporwill Hollow.

Kathryn attended Florence State College and Larimore School of Business. Upon graduation, she became secretary to Colonel I.E. Willson who proved to be a major benefactor of Sheffield City Schools. Her career with Colonel Willson was interrupted by childbirth in 1942. Impressed by her performance as his employee, Colonel Willson helped her become employed by the Alabama State Employment Office from which she retired in 1983.

Kathryn was the daughter of George W. Johnson Sr. and Kate Hale Johnson. She was predeceased by her husband, Ralph (Big Moose) Welborn, of Sheffield; parents; and two brothers, G. W. Johnson, who retired from Southern Railway, and John Clifford Johnson, of Elizabethton, Tenn., who retired from TVA following transfer from Wilson Dam to the upper Tennessee TVA Tributary Dams in East Tennessee. She was predeceased by nephews, George Johnson and Jimmy Johnson, brothers of Jean Tanner, of Tuscumbia.

She is survived by her two children, Kathy Hickman, of Sheffield, and William R. Welborn Jr., of Sheffield.

Grandchildren include Jim McGuffey and Charlie McGuffey, of Huntsville, Bo McGuffey, of San Antonio, Texas, as well as William R. (Will) Welborn III, of Nashville, and Kate Welborn, of Chicago.

Kathryn also is survived by her nephew, John C. Johnson, a retinologist and owner of Johnson Eye Clinic in Johnson City, Tenn.

During her retirement, Kathryn particularly enjoyed assisting with Ritz Theater sales supporting Tennessee Valley Center for the Arts as well as participation in classes and groups associated with the First United Methodist Church of Sheffield, where she was a lifetime member.

Kathryn loved her parents, extended family, co-workers, children and grandchildren. She loved feeding birds, adopting abandoned dogs and cats and Alabama football.

Grandsons will serve as pallbearers.

Memorials may be directed to the First United Methodist Church of Sheffield, Sheffield Public Library, Tennessee Valley Center for the Arts or to charities of your choice; in particular those who give sustenance to the abandoned and downtrodden, be they humans or other of God’s creatures.
