Katherine was born February 15, 1925 in Concord to the late Samuel P. Cagle and Beulah Sherrill Cagle. She was also preceded in death by husband Charles Vartanian and four siblings.

Katherine met her husband Charles when he was playing Professional Baseball for the Concord Weavers. He would come to the concession stand that her father ran and he would say” I’m going to marry you”, the rest is history. They married and moved to NY where she lived until moving home to Concord in 1974. She was a member of Trinity UCC where she worked the hotdog sales to retire their mortgage debt. She then transferred to Saint James Reformed Church in Mount Pleasant. Katherine worked as a chair side assistant for Dr. Patterson, then Dr. Morgan. Katherine was a staunch Atlanta Braves Fan and would yell at the TV whenever they got a bad call. Her grandchildren were her life.

Vartanian and Amanda of Chapin, SC; great grandchildren Avery and Logan Vartanian, and Edison Dills; sister June C.
