Katherine "Kathy"

Louise Hart

Katherine Louise (Morris) Hart went home to be with Jesus on July 2, 2024, at 3:15 am surrounded by her family.  She was born to Helen (Johnson) Morris and the late Daniel Joseph Morris Sr. on June 1, 1954.

Katherine was united in marriage to Jim Pobst on June 3, 1972, and was blessed with the birth of their two children, Dustin and Kasey. On February 14, 1995, in Ellington, Missouri, Katherine was united in marriage to Gary Hart. Katherine was a member of the Lower Doe Run Missionary Baptist Church, Red Hatters, a board member of Missouri Highlands, and former board member of the Ellington Chamber of Commerce and Senior Housing.

Katherine is a blessed heir with Christ, of Father God. She is loved by many, but mostly by her husband Gary, son Dusty, daughter Kasey, grandson Rylan, and step-daughter Tiffany. Kathy, or as Kasey and Dusty called her "Momma Bear", loved Jesus and her family. She while here on Earth loved to hike in the outdoors, going on cruises, and especially spending time taking care of those she loved and helping others. Behind her contagious smile was a sense of humor that could make anyone laugh even when they weren't in the mood. Her compassion for others was so great she wanted to comfort others when they were hurting. Kathy's hugs were unforgettable. They were tender but also, loving, comforting, peaceful, and a source of strength. The source of Kathy's love came from Jesus. She loved to tell others about Jesus and the salvation he offers.

Kathy was preceded in death by her father, Daniel Morris Sr., and one brother, Donald Lee Morris.

Kathy is survived by her husband, Gary Hart of Black, Missouri, her mother, Helen Morris of Ellington, Missouri, son, Dustin Pobst of Ellington, Missouri, daughter, Kasey Dement of Ellington, Missouri, step-daughter, Tiffany Hart of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, brother, Daniel Morris and wife Michelle of Hudson, Florida, three sisters, Judy Vasquez and husband Lou of Ellington, Missouri, Mary Beck and husband Dwain of Ellington, Missouri, and Linda Low and husband Steve of Port Edwards, Wisconsin, three grandchildren, Rylan, Dristan and Elliana, and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. Katherine will be deeply missed by a host of family and friends who will mourn her passing.
