Katheryn Elaine "Kathy" Konrad, 74, passed away peacefully on November 22, 2025, in Alvin, Texas. Born on June 14, 1951, in Kilgore, Texas, Kathy lived a life marked by love, kindness, and unwavering devotion to her family.

Kathy was the daughter of Ellen Marie Hauff Gasaway of Victoria and the late Manuel Davis Gasaway. She grew up surrounded by the warmth of a close-knit family and carried those values with her throughout her life. On June 13, 1970, she married the love of her life, Don Wayne Konrad. Their union was one of deep affection and partnership until Don’s passing in 2013.

A devoted mother and grandmother, Kathy is survived by her son Jason Wayne Konrad and his wife Jill of Port Lavaca; her daughter Julie Gail Sheridan and her husband Jason of Manvel; and her cherished grandchildren: Dylan Wayne Konrad and his fiancé Jordan of Bryan, Evan Thomas Wilson Konrad and Rylee Kristen Konrad of Port Lavaca, and Waylon Michael Quade Sheridan of Manvel. Her grandchildren were the light of her life—being “Memaw” brought her immeasurable joy.

She is also survived by her mother Ellen Marie Hauff Gasaway; her brother Ricky Gasaway and his wife Griselda of Victoria. Kathy was preceded in death by her beloved husband Don Wayne Konrad; her father Manuel Davis Gasaway; and siblings Linda Brown and Michael Gasaway.

Kathy will be remembered as a kind and compassionate listener whose radiant smile could brighten any room. Her generous spirit touched many lives—she was always ready to lend a helping hand or offer a comforting word. Her love for family was boundless, evident in every moment she spent with them.
