Kathryn Deihl

Kathryn Deihl Fisher, 78, affectionately known as "Kek Kek", passed away peacefully at her home in Reedville, VA, on August 18, 2016. She was surrounded by her loving family when she went to be with the Lord. Born in Northumberland County and raised in Hampton, VA, Kathryn was the third youngest of six siblings. She graduated from Hampton High School in 1957 where she was the head cheerleader and homecoming queen. She returned to the Northern Neck after meeting and marrying the love of her life, Harold "Teenie" Deihl. They were happily married for 51 years and raised three daughters. She was a longtime member of Bethany United Methodist Church, where she honored the Lord with her passion for creating lovely, one-of-a-kind flower arrangements every week. She spent countless hours on her floral works of art hoping to bring joy and beauty to others. Kathryn took great pride in volunteering with the Northumberland County Rescue Squad for over 30 years. She served as an EMT for many years as a member of the squad. A true lover of nature, she took great delight in sunsets, wildlife, flowers, and all of God's creation. Her favorite hobby was golf, and she enjoyed spending time and competing against friends at Quinton Oaks, where she was a member. Her greatest joy in life was spending time with her 9 grandchildren and 6 great-grand children. She never missed a game or event they participated in, no matter the time, place or sport and she was their biggest cheerleader.
