COBB, Calif. — Kate Michelle Tillman of Cobb passed unexpectedly on Oct. 30, 2021.

She was the youngest of seven siblings, born on July 4, 1991.

Kate had a contagious laugh that always filled more than the room she was in. Her smile was so incredible that you couldn’t help but smile too. She had a boisterous personality and a need to make others laugh even at her own expense.

Kate was incredibly talented with her hands, able to make beautiful art out of clay models, floral arrangements and drawings.

She loved giving gifts, most often for no reason at all. She enjoyed true crime stories with her mom, and horror films with anyone that would dare to watch with her.

She loved spending her days on a road trip with family, preferably to the beach.

Kate leaves behind the love of her life, her beautiful daughter Ellie, who inherited her mother’s smile and sense of humor. She was called to heaven entirely too soon, and will be loved and missed greatly.

She also leaves behind her mother and father, Gerald and Kathy; siblings, Rick, Sally, Debi, Tonja, Jacob and Tim; sister-in-law, Deanna; along with many nieces and nephews who were her pride and joy.

A celebration of life will be held for family and friends at the Little Red School House on Cobb, Dec. 5, at 1 p.m.
