Kathryn “Kathy” Ilene Eckerdt
November 9, 1954 – August 17, 2026

Kathryn “Kathy” Ilene Eckerdt was born on November 9, 1954 in Mesa, Arizona. She passed away with family on August 17, 2026, at the age of 71. She was the 10th of 11 children born to Raymond and Ethel Harris. Kathy grew up in Turlock, CA and retired to Springville, Utah in the fall of 2020.

Kathy was known for her joking sense of humor and her joyous laughter. She enjoyed photography, music, sewing, playing games, watching football, and exploration of family history. Most of all, Kathy loved being a grandmother.

Kathy is survived by her children, Chad (Chyllis) Scott, Alaina Eckerdt, Justin (Kristie) McLean; six grandchildren; her siblings Raymond Harris, Anthony (Joyce) Harris, Archie Harris, Frank Harris, Patricia (Michael) Ward, Sandra (Daniel) Hansen, and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband Rodney Eckerdt; her parents; siblings, Annie (Richard) Davich, Mary (Alfredo “Dino”) Potestio, Fred Harris, and Stephen Harris; and her son, Andrew.

Though our hearts are heavy with loss, we find comfort in knowing that Kathy’s love remains with us.

A memorial service will be held at Allen Mortuary on Friday, September 25, 2026 at 11:30 with interment to follow at Turlock Memorial Park at 1:00p.m.
