Angels Camp, CA…Kathleen D. Dean June 12, 1953 ~ February 3, 2026 (age 72). It is with deep love and sorrow that we announce the passing of Kathleen Dean on February 3rd, 2026, surrounded by her family. She is survived by her loving husband, son, and daughter.

She was truly one of a kind — outgoing, funny, driven, and strong. Her warm, compassionate spirit touched everyone who knew her, and her laughter could brighten even the hardest days.

She devoted herself to creating a beautiful home and a meaningful life for her family. She loved decorating with antiques and had a remarkable talent for making every space feel welcoming and full of charm. Her creativity and thoughtful touches made life brighter for everyone around her.

Resourceful and determined, she met every challenge with quiet confidence and care, providing stability and love for those she cherished. Above all, she was a devoted wife and the very best mom — nurturing, protective, and endlessly supportive. Her family was her greatest joy and proudest accomplishment.

Though our hearts ache in her absence, her kindness, strength, and laughter will stay with us forever. She is now at peace in the arms of the Lord, and her family takes comfort in the hope of being reunited with her one day.
