Mrs. Haynes infectious smile and generous heart will long be remembered by her family, neighbors and friends.
Born to Edward and Lou Browder on June 11, 1920, Katherine grew up during the great depression knowing what it was like to do without, so she wanted to ensure that her family never went without. She was an avid quilter and loved to gift her creations to her children and grandchildren.
Mrs. Haynes was a faithful member of Shiloh Baptist Church where she served in the nursery for many years, loving and rocking the babies in her care. She was also known for bringing a pan of chicken and dressing to those who were sick or needing comfort. Her favorite bible verse was John 3:16 as it represented her faith in Christ.
She always thanked the Lord for the blessings she received and will be fondly remembered by her children; Danny Haynes (Gwen) and Donna Weathers (Charles). Her grandchildren, David Haynes (April), Jennifer Pearson (Billy) and Jeremy Weathers (Haley), who gladly recall the many nights spent listening to stories of her childhood and gathering around her table to eat and recall the events in their lives. Even her great-grandchildren, Taylor Haynes, Jake and Josh Dunahue, Siena and Lincoln Weathers and Rhett Pearson, enjoyed talking and sharing many laughs with her. She also shared many phone calls talking of old times with her brother Russell Browder of Byhalia, Ms. She will be missed by her good friends Martha Meeks and David and Sherre Curry as well as the staff of Whitfield Nursing Home that took excellent care of her.
