Our beloved Katherine SunRhodes “Woman who Comes Last”, daughter and friend, went home to be with the Lord on October 22, 2020.
Katherine was born to Theresa and Jerry SunRhodes in Riverton, WY, Wind River Reservation; but spent most of her life here on the Fort Peck Reservation with her mother and two daughters, Jessica Rue and Margorie Lynn Keiser and later obtained her G.E.D. in Minot, ND. She also helped raise her two special niece and nephew, Thomas and Shoshonna SunRhodes. She considered them as her own. While she continued to raise her family, she worked odd jobs around the area. She also was a home health care worker and provided care for her grandparents. Katherine always joked around and laughed with everyone she came across. She had a caring personality and would sense when someone was hurting and would try to make them smile. She will be greatly missed by everyone she left behind but we will take comfort that she will be untied with her daughter, Jessica Rue.
Katherine is survived by her father, Jerome Thomas SunRhodes Sr. of Wyoming; mother, Theresa SunRhodes of Poplar; daughter, Margorie Keiser of Poplar; brothers, J.T. SunRhodes, Patrick SunRhodes, Jared SunRhodes, and Vincent “Vinnie” Brown all of Wyoming and Lawrence D.

Katherine is preceded in death by her daughter, Jessica Rue Keiser; grandparents, Earnest and Ruth SunRhodes, Allison and Thomas Lonefight; auntie, Phoebe Ann Owens; uncle, Gerald Melbourne; brother, JT SunRhodes.
