Kate married James (Jim) Goodman in April of 1988 and they had 32 wonderful years together. Kate enjoyed camping, boating, snowmobiling, and riding on the back of the Harley through-out the years. Wherever Kate was there was always laughter and fun to be had. Kate had one grandson, Kieron Parker, with whom she loved spending time with.
Kate was preceded in death by her parents Harold and Catherine Hilborn and one sister Harlene Hilborn.

The family would like to thank Pastor Sellnow and our church family at St. Pauls Lutheran Church. We would also like to thank WI Rapids UW Cancer Center and Heartland Hospice for all the wonderful care and support. Also, a big thank you to all our great friends who helped along the way.

Jim and Family,
My deepest condolences! I only knew Kate a short time, but to know her was to love her. She was so encouraging to my friend Peggy and always made a point to let her know she was rooting for her. I will never forget her 70th Birthday when she looked to me and said, “I didn’t know this many people liked me.” I responded that the attendees not only liked her but loved her. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
