Kathleen (Ag) Ann Krietemeyer

February 23, 1933 - May 7, 2024

Kathleen (Ag) Ann Krietemeyer, 91, of Auburn, Alabama died May 7, 2024. She was born on February 23, 1933 in Evansville, Indiana to the late Louis and Isabelle Lehmann.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, William Krietemeyer and her sister, Betty Hinkle. She is survived by her son, Steve (Beth) Krietemeyer of Columbia, South Carolina; daughter, Amy Krietemeyer of Auburn; brothers, Donald (Mary) Lehmann and Robert (Nancy) Lehmann, both of Evansville, Indiana and two grandchildren, Cole and Claire, both of Columbia, South Carolina.

Kathleen graduated from Reitz High School in Evansville, Indiana. Kathleen married Bill in her early 20's and embraced the roll of homemaker, building the foundations of family as the address of the home moved from Indiana to Illinois to West Virginia to Alabama to Texas and finally returning to Auburn. Her love of music (she played clarinet and piano), she passed on to her children. Kathleen was a lifelong learner – always reading, enjoying community courses, and dabbling in crafts like quilting.

Throughout her life and even into her last days, she would amaze and entertain us with her immense curiosity and often unfiltered observations. Most of all, she gave her children the gift of knowing they were loved unconditionally. She loved, was loved, and will forever be missed until the time we are reunited.

A memorial service will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, May 11 in the Auburn United Methodist Church sanctuary with Dr. Cory Smith officiating.
