Kathryn (Katie) Stoneburner was a loving daughter to Barb, Don, Susan; sister to Megan, Derek, Brooke and partner, Elex; aunt to Bronson, Gavin, and Oaklynn; and a beloved granddaughter, niece, cousin, and friend. She was a graduate of South Side High School and Ball State University, and a cherished member and lifetime resident of the Fort Wayne community.
She spent over 25 years in the moving industry, the vast majority at Colen Moving and Storage alongside her family. Katie dedicated her time, energy, and heart to those she loved and those in need. She lit up every room with her quick wit, contagious laugh, and beautiful smile.
Outside of her work, Katie loved animals (especially her pups), traveling the world, experiencing new cultures, reading, politics, basking in the sun, and escaping to a beach. Her adventures were many, and her sense of duty (plus humor) endless. She will be missed by so many and thought of every minute she’s gone.
A celebration of her life will be held at a later date.
My deepest heartfelt condolences to her entire family.
Please accept my deepest and sincere sympathy. I knew Katie through the Tritch girls and spent many Sunday dinners at Patty’s with her.
I love you Katie! B&K gang forever 🩷
My heart breaks for you, as a friend but, of course most of all, as a parent losing a child. No words have meaning right now but your heart will find its own new rhythm in due time. You have my love, thoughts, prayers and will be thinking of you and family as you travel through these deep waters. My Love – Chris

My heart is broken. Katie was my favorite niece and we had a special relationship. We went back and forth, in a good natured banter that kept us laughing. I loved her deeply and her passing leaves a void in my life that cannot be filled.
We are so sorry for your loss. I can think of no greater loss than for a parent to lose their child.
I know from personal experience, there’s nothing worse in life than losing your daughter! Please accept my best wishes for you as you continue to deal with it all.
So sorry….memory eternal!
Sympathy to you.
