Catherine "Kate" C. Nagel

Catherine Cordilla Tritt Nagel was born to George and Ethel Williams May 24 1923.   Known to most  as Kate, she went to be with our heavenly father on April 5th 2015.  Kate was born in Baker, Colorado.   Kate was famous for her homemade bread and candy.   She loved to be outdoors working in her garden and nurturing her flowers;  if she couldn’t grow it no one  could.  Kate was a major Rock hound and would always bring rocks home when out huckleberry picking. Another one of her loves was going for rides and looking for wild life and Christmas lights and collecting porcelain dolls. Kate loved to swim was as difficult as a child to get out of the water as she could tread water for hours.  She had 9 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren.  She had a special love for each and every one of them.  She leaves behind her 5 children Laura, Philip, William, Bob and his wife Mary Ann and Carole and a sister Midge.  She is preceded in death by her husband Samuel Tritt and Channing Nagel, son in law Charles Tapia and Grandson Curtis Clay Tapia, sisters Pat, Fran and Brothers Jim and Jess. Now we know she had joined her beloved grandson Curtis in our heavenly father’s arms.  We sincerely thank all those in the extended care who so lovingly took care of her in her final days. We also extend our thanks to Pastor Martin and those who helped us to navigate through this trying time and Melinda Fox who organized our wonderful meal. Graveside services will be Friday at 11:00 a.m. at Grandview Cemetery with a luncheon reception following at Grace Bible Fellowship. Visitation will be Thursday from 2-8 p.m. at Bonners Ferry Funeral Home.
