Kathleen Marie Richburg

Kathleen Marie Richburg, 64, went home to be with the Lord Tuesday, October 6, 2026, at Hendrick Medical Center in Abilene, surrounded in love by her friends and family.
She was born on November 7, 1961 to Wanda (McCleary) Turner in Oklahoma City, OK.  Being a child of a military family, Kathy lived all over the world.  From the United States, Taiwan, and Germany, she experienced many cultures and lifestyles.  Her travels eventually brought her to Dyess Air Force Base in Abilene, where she met her husband, Russell Richburg. They were married on June 26, 1988 in Abilene. They spent their lives in Clyde, raising their two daughters.
Kathy held many different jobs throughout her life, and was a talented cross stitcher and cook.  Her love for her 2 granddaughters was boundless, and she spent many holidays and birthdays spoiling them both.
She was preceded in death by her beloved mother, Wanda Turner; her maternal grandparents Hazel and "Peavine" McCleary; her cousin Keith May; and her parents-in-law Hank and Priscilla Richburg.
She is survived by her husband of 38 years, Russell Richburg; her daughters Shelby (Randy) Foil of Abilene and Sara Richburg of Clyde; her granddaughters Rilynn Green and Amelia Foil, grandson-in-progress Sutton Richburg; her sister Sheri (Wayne) Porter of Sioux City, IA; her brother Scott McCleary of Abilene; her best friend of many years Jeri James; many nieces, nephews, cousins, and in-laws.
A memorial service was held Friday, October 9, 2026 at Bible Baptist Church in Clyde.
