Kathleen Sina

Kathleen Rosemary Sina, a beloved sister, partner, and friend, left this world on January 29, 2025, at the age of 68. Born on October 27, 1956, in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Kathleen lived a life full of warmth, creativity, and generosity. She was a proud member of her community and dedicated her free time to many passions, from crafting beautiful knitted and crocheted pieces to leading her local Kountry Kidz 4-H Club with enthusiasm and care.

Kathleen found joy in life's simple pleasures-bingo nights with friends, camping trips with loved ones, and sharing delicious baked goods, especially her famous cakes and tortes. She was always ready to lend a hand in the garden or to help canning with her life partner, Kirk "Digger" Versteegh. Her kind spirit and compassionate heart touched all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Kathleen enjoyed a fulfilling career, working at various local businesses including Oshkosh B'Gosh, SNC Manufacturing, Kwik Trip, Kobussen and most recently, AMCOR, where she was known for her hard work and friendly demeanor. She cultivated lasting friendships with colleagues and brought her cheerful nature to every job.

She is survived by her sister Roxane Schmidt (Donald) and their children, Nikayla and Shantaya; her life partner, Kirk; his children, Jessica Bennett (Tony) and grandchildren, Kelsey & Catarina Bennett, along with Emma & Brianna Versteegh and great-granddaughter Hadley Hanan. Kathleen will also be missed by Claire, Carleen and Linda Kleinschmit sister in laws and by her nieces and nephews, including Cindy (Scott - preceded) Collier and their daughter Cassandra; Gary (Sherri) Durkee and their children, Kyle, Carissa, Chad; Tammy (Steve - preceded) Stark and their children, Steve, Justin & Nathan; Duwayne, Shelly, Billie Jo; Brian, Scott, John, Jeff, Jerry, and Autumn; as well as special friend, Toddy.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Norman and Jane Kleinschmit; Kirk's son Michael, and siblings, Norma (Harlan) Durkee, Julia Kienast-Stapleton; Rosemary Ramminger; Russell, John, Robert and George Kleinschmit; as well as Kirks mother Louise Versteegh.

Visitation will be held at the Konrad-Behlman Funeral Home - Westside (100 Lake Pointe Dr) starting at 11:00 a.m., followed by a heartfelt funeral service at 1:00 p.m, with burial at Lake View Memorial Park to follow.
