Kathryn Biek Obituary Biek, Kathryn L. Age 59, of Orono, passed away suddenly April 20, 2020 of pneumonia after a courageous two-year battle against leukemia. Preceded in death by her father. Kathryn was a passionate mother of two beautiful children and friend to countless persons near and far. She also was a merchandiser at Macys for the past decade. She made every dance competition and football and lacrosse game for her children, and threw legendary tailgates at University of Missouri football games for seven years even after her children graduated. Everyone came because they treasured time spent with Kathryn and her contagious spirit, warm friendship, and zest for life. Survived by husband of 31 years, David; daughter, Katherine ("Kayla"); son, Ryan; mother, Bonnie; and brother, Rick (Gladys). Kathryn was taken from this world too soon and will be greatly missed.
