    Notes 
    • Katheryn Mardell Rogne, “Kathy”, 76, of Greenleaf, WI, formerly of Tipler, passed away peacefully with family by her side on Saturday, July 13, 2024. She was born May 27, 1948, in Telluride, CO to the late Omar and Ella Gleason. She graduated from Montrose High School in Colorado, Class of 1966. 

      Shortly after graduation, Kathy moved to California on a dare. While in California she met her future husband, Robert Rogne, on a blind date, November 11, 1966. He asked her to marry him on November 13th, gave her the diamond on “the day Walt Disney died” (December 15th), and they were united in marriage on December 31, 1966, just 52 days after their first date. She loved to tell the story of how they met and married.

      Their first home was in De Pere, where they started their family. Eventually, they bought Green Acre Stables in Bellevue because of their mutual love of horses, which they shared with their daughters. Over the years life and jobs took them to a number of cities throughout WI where they were never short of friends. Kathy never met a stranger, just a new friend she hadn’t met yet. 

      Kathy worked a variety of jobs during her time in the workforce, primarily anything sales-related. She could sell ice to an eskimo or a TV to a blind man. The summer of 1988 she suffered multiple strokes and was no longer able to work, but that didn’t stop her. She had P.O.P.T. and she’d tell everyone about it. (Power Of Positive Thinking). In the early 2000s, Kathy & Bob bought a home in Tipler, WI where they hosted numerous foreign exchange students over the years.

      She is survived by her daughters, Shawn (Michael) Loveless of Noblesville, IN, and Shelby (Patrick) Kussow of Greenleaf, WI. Kathy is further survived by her grandchildren; Austin (Jodi) Loveless, Cody (Hannah) Loveless, Dylan Loveless, Noah Loveless, Brooke (Tom) Manderle, Hunter Kussow, Preston (Annie) Kussow, Garrett Kussow, and Kate Gallaher; her siblings Dixie Coggins, Roy (Barb) Gleason, Loretta (Lenny) Gedeon, Elbert “Paul” (Patricia) Gleason, Sheryl (Dirk) Hatter, Debra (Vincent) Svec; in-laws Sally Gleason, Ron (Laura) Rogne, and Nancy Rogne; and many nieces and nephews. Kathy was preceded in death by her husband of 50 years, Robert; daughter Stacy Rogne; parents; siblings Omar “Bud” Gleason, Margarie Jo & Ralph Bohl; in-laws Orville Rogne, Anne Klueskens, Betty & Gerald Panten, Dick & Joyce Rogne, and Ilo Reese.
