Kathy Josephine Micheau
January 23, 1957 – November 27, 2025
It is with deep love and profound sorrow, the family of Kathy Micheau announces her passing on November 27, 2025, at her home in Beaver, Washington. She was 68 years old.
Kathy was born on January 23, 1957, in Eugene, Oregon. Throughout her life, she embodied kindness, compassion, and unwavering devotion to her family. Her gentle spirit and loving heart left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her.
She is lovingly remembered by her husband, Richard Micheau; her children: John Wilson, Maranda Micheau (Amber), and Jason Micheau (Melanie); and her grandchildren: Natalie Wilson, Trevor Wilson, Kaitlyn Waynick (Kyle), Lincoln Micheau, Kayson Micheau, Cleo Micheau, and Malaki Micheau. Kathy also leaves behind four great-grandchildren Luke Wilson, Tucker Wilson, Paisley Waynick, and Brantley Waynick.
Kathy’s siblings Robert “Bobby” Luff (Nancy) and Vicky Crandall (Stewart) as well as many cousins, nieces, and nephews survive her as well. She was preceded in death by her sisters Linda Sue Luff and Diane Burge; her father Robert Luff Jr; and her mother Nadine Smith her nephew Steven Burge Jr and great nephew Michael Burge.
Kathy’s life was a testament to grace and goodness. She never spoke a harsh word about anyone and carried herself with a sweetness that touched everyone around her. Her great sense of humor and infectious laugh brought joy to every gathering, leaving lasting memories of laughter and warmth among family and friends. Her love for Jesus guided her daily walk-through life—a quiet but powerful faith that shone through in every act of kindness she offered. She found joy in the simple pleasures—especially “tinkering around outside” where she felt most at peace, Camping, fishing and in her younger years fighting and playing with her siblings. But above all else, Kathy cherished time with her family. Her children were deeply loved—but it was in the presence of her grandchildren that Kathy truly lit up. They were the center of her world and the source of endless pride and joy.
To know Kathy was to witness a life lived with humility and warmth. Her compassion taught those around her how to be better people, how to live with empathy, patience, positivity, lots of laughter and love. Her legacy is not only in the generations she nurtured but also in the example she set for how to live a meaningful life.
Though words can never fully capture the depth of our loss or the beauty of Kathy’s spirit, we take comfort in knowing that her memory will continue to inspire all who knew her. May we carry forward the lessons she taught us—of kindness without condition and love without end.
She is missed beyond measure but remembered with boundless love.
