Obituary - Kathern Irene Rudolph

Kathern Irene Rudolph passed away Tuesday, October 15, 2019, at the Sweet Memorial Nursing Home in Chinook, MT.

She was born May 24th, 1943, in Chinook, Montana, one of 13 children born to Calvin and Julia Hall.

Kathern married her sweetheart, Jerry Lowry, August 24, 1959. in Chinook, MT, and that same day moved to Sidney, MT, to start married life. Talk about a whirlwind honeymoon where Jerry had to return to work the next day. Kathern raised her three kids for years on the road while Jerry’s job took them to many places. But when Dale started school mom settled in Sidney to raise her children.

While living in Sidney, Kathern worked in the local restaurant, and was later promoted to manager of the Eagles Café which she was very proud of. She loved to cook, and was excellent at it as well!

In the winter of 1978, the family moved back to Chinook where she continued her love of cooking at Tastie Bite and the Steak House.

After Jerry’s death she continued working at the Tastie Bite where she met her match, Carroll Rudolph. They were married on December 17, 1988. They spent many wonderful years together. They enjoyed auction sales, wood working, rummage sales, and decorating their home and yard for each holiday. In fact, right up until her passing she was planning her decorations for Halloween!

She is survived by her son, Dale Lowry, daughters, Joan Mord, Kathy (Mike) Radovich; her brother Ira (Janet) Hall; eight grandchildren, and 15 great-grandchildren.

She was preceeded in death by her sisters, Mary, Isabell, Alice, Elanor, Lola, Evelyn, Rozella; her brothers Frank, Ray, Buddy, William, one great-grandson, and her husbands, Jerry and Carroll.
