Kathy
Ann "Kate" Headrick, 56 of Minot and formerly of Washburn,
fought and won her first battle against cancer in 1999. This
time the battle was just too great. The angels took her away
on Thursday, September 13, 2007, so she wouldn't have to endure
anymore pain. She passed away at home, surrounded by her loving
family. Kate was a loving wife, mother, a doting grandmother,
a blessing to her parents and best friend to her sisters.
