Kathryn Rose. Kate. Spitfire.
No matter what name you knew her by, Kate was a memorable person. She may have been small in stature, but she had the gift of being larger than life. She quickly earned the nickname Spitfire for embodying the notion of being fearless. Her go-getter mentality enabled her to succeed any and every goal that she had set for herself. Her precedent for not only pursuing, but accomplishing goals, were set when Kathryn climbed atop a 4-tier pyramid for her Oxbow Water Ski Show Team. She was a fierce republican who wanted nothing more than to vote. Her passion for politics translated in consistently placing in the top 4 of AIC's Model Congress. Kate became the first freshman from Sabis International Charter School to be awarded with an honorable mention; ultimately earning the 1st place top delegate status earlier this year, resulting in being awarded a full scholarship to AIC. Being an academic stand-out seemed to come naturally to her, but her success was not limited to the classroom. She mentored fellow Model Congress students, was the co-founder of the Gay Straight Alliance Club at Sabis, ran Sabis Varsity Cross Country, Track and Field, and was a Springfield Shark swimmer. Leadership was an innate characteristic for Kathryn, and tremendous amounts of success followed her in every avenue of her life because of it, including being awarded Employee of the Month in her role at McDonalds. With her compassion and spitfire personality - Kathryn Rose captivated everyone that had the honor of knowing her. She leaves behind her loving parents and adoring sisters, mother, Jennifer Mauke, father, Daniel Mauke, sisters; Ashley Ballou-Mauke and Mariah Mauke, and her beloved cousin Damien Pittola, not to mention countless aunts, uncles, cousins and her extremely loyal group of friends whom she adored.
