Katherine "Kathy" Pearl Sebastian, who left us tragically on August 12, 2025, due to an accident was born on July 25, 1960, in Austin, Indiana, and lived a life full of meaningful moments and cherished memories.

Kathy graduated from Austin High School and spent many years dedicated to her work, first at Family Dollar and most recently as a deli clerk at Walmart. She was loved by her customers and coworkers alike for her warm smile and kind spirit. She married Charles "Chuck" Sebastian on July 11, 2004 and he preceded her in death on May 23, 2024.

Kathy was a family-oriented person who truly cherished her time with loved ones. Her passion for animals was evident to all; she had a special place in her heart for every furry friend that crossed her path.
