Katherine Peterson Wharton

February 14, 1938 — April 20, 2018

On the evening of Friday, April 20, 2018, Katherine Wharton, went to be with the Lord.

Katherine was born on February 14, 1938 in Detroit, Michigan to the late Leon and Katherine Moore Peterson. She worked at Kroger in the meat department for many years before retiring. Katherine adored her family; she was very close to her sister and brother and especially close to her children and grandchildren. She enjoyed going to the beach to relax listening to the waves. However, her most memorable moments were times spent at home visiting with her friends and family. Her husband, John Wharton, preceded her in death.

Her memory will forever be treasured by her children, Jim Potter (Mary), Barbara de Graaf (Patrick Brown), Shaun Wharton (Tonya), Cheryl Borro (Tom), Julie Talb (Moody); grandchildren, Lisa Sutherland, David Potter, Jessica Durham, Ashley Weisenburger, Carl de Graaf, Alan de Graaf, Brittani Wharton; fifteen great great-grandchildren; siblings, Carol Ann Force and Spencer Peterson, as well as beloved friends, Gail Brown, Wanda White (Gary), and special lifelong friend Sheila Simon.

At the family’s request all services will be private.

In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully suggests memorial donations be given in memory of Katherine Peterson Wharton to Heart of Georgia Hospice, 103 Westridge Drive, Warner Robins, GA 31088.
