Katherine Rose Borino , 66 of Casper Wyoming passed away in the early morning hours of October 29, 2020 after a courageous battle with cancer. Katherine was born on September 1, 1954 to Mariann & John Davis.
Throughout her childhood she was raised on various ranches outside of the Casper area. This is where her love for horses and animals blossomed. She was always trying to rescue hurt animals on the ranches, from birds to rabbits. One of her favorite pastimes as a child was riding her horse Bob, that her favorite uncle Carl bought for her as a gift.
As the oldest of 5 children Katherine was the protector of her siblings and adored each and everyone of them. (Gena, Bobby, Bill & Angel) She would often baby sit, cook and teach them the ways of life.
As a young adult Katherine did what most women do and began a family of her own. She gave birth to her oldest daughter Jennifer in July of 1971. A few years later she gave birth to her second child Christy and then her son Christopher. Then 12 long years later her youngest daughter Alissa was born…she was quite the surprise. Katherine was always a care giver not only to her children but to all who knew her. She helped take care of many family members as they grew older, such as her grandma Kitty, Uncle Carl, mother Mariann & bonus dad Tom as well as her Aunt Jackie. She was a servant of the Lord and this shone brightly with the sacrifices she made to take care of others. Throughout her life at various times Katherine also took in and cared for her grandson Micheal Davis and his child Zayden Davis.
Katherine had a keen sense of adventure. She loved to travel and see new places. She often took trips with her sister Gena to Arizona to visit their Uncle Bob. One of her favorite trips was going to Hawaii with Gena and Alissa. During her travels Katherine also found her love for lighthouses and birds. When she wasn't on adventures traveling she enjoyed spending her time at home snuggled into the couch with her dogs watching movies or reading books.
Katherine was a devoted member of the Christian Church of Casper for many years and served them in various ways throughout her time there. She loved the Lord and was a servant for him in any way she could be. She was always willing to share her testimony and the many blessing that she received from the Lord. She would never miss a service and loved her church family as her own.
Katherine has a large extended family of grandchildren and great grandchildren. She would often travel multiple times a year to visit them and spend time with them. They were the lights of her life.
