Kathryn Elaine “Kathie” Greenfield Wilson, 70, of Fort Scott, passed away Friday evening, February 18, 2022, at the Medicalodge in Fort Scott. She was born August 12, 1951, to Rachel Hord and John C. Greenfield Sr., in Tacoma, Washington. Kathie was one of ten children: four sisters and five brothers. She graduated from Fort Scott High School in 1969. She married David Cunningham in 1970 in Fort Scott, Kansas. After his passing in 1972, she then married Perry Wilson, and the two celebrated many wonderful years of marriage until his passing in 2018.
Kathie was a kind soul, who never met a stranger. She enjoyed shopping for bargains, rides in the country, and reading romance novels. She loved life, loved to laugh, and she especially loved her grandkids. Kathie saw beauty in simple things where others may have overlooked them. She always made sure to lift others up, even during her most trying of times. She always had the biggest smile. To know Kathie, was to know love.
She is survived by two children, Jason and wife Natalie Cunningham of Lockwood, Missouri, and Rachel Fields of Fort Scott, Kansas, and six grandchildren, Addison, Maren, Ellen, William, Enych, and Elsie. She was preceded in death by her first husband David Cunningham, her second husband Perry Wilson, her father John C. Greenfield Sr., sisters Cheryl Bagnall, Ella Greenfield, and brothers Paul and Brian Greenfield.
Services will be held at 11:30 a.m. Friday, March 4, 2022, at Konantz Cheney Funeral Home, Fort Scott, Kansas with burial following at 12:30 p.m. at the Fort Scott National Cemetery, where she will be laid to rest with her late husband Perry Wilson.
