Kathryn Katie Gotcher

March 27, 1984 — May 4, 2024

Carlsbad

Graveside services for Kathryn (Katie) Gotcher of Carlsbad will be June 15, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. at Carlsbad Cemetery in Carlsbad, NM.  

Katie, age 40, sadly left this earth too soon on May 4, 2024 in Carlsbad, NM. Katie was born in Pecos, TX March 27, 1984 to Patrina Hill Gotcher and Richard (Dick) Gotcher.

She is survived by her mother, Patrina Gotcher Perkins of Carlsbad, NM; son, Andrew Richards of Lubbock, TX; daughters, Jaydian Smotherman; Aryan & Jamie Dawn Busch; brothers Ben Gotcher of Carlsbad, NM; Chris Gotcher of Roswell, NM; sister Niki Gotcher Leatherman of Roswell, NM; and one aunt, Shirley Sanchez of Artesia, NM; nephew, Seth Van Note; niece Ashley McAdams, and many cousins.  

Katie was preceded in death by her father, Richard Gotcher; son, Alex “Bert” Richards; nephew, Mathew Van Note; & paternal and maternal grandparents.

Katie attended Faith Baptist Home School through 10th grade. Kathryn enjoyed fishing starting as a young girl.  She also enjoyed hunting arrowheads and was very good at it.  Her daddy had her driving at a very young age, and she became a pretty darn good driver.  

Katie had her troubled times but looking at her Facebook page you can tell she was a God loving soul.  She would tell people she was going to pray for them, and this leads us to know she is a believer and is in heaven with her daddy, son, nephew and grandparents.  We’re sure her aunts LaVerne, Betty, & Glenda and uncle Boo were there with open arms as well to greet her at heaven’s gate.

Many of her friends commented that they were “shocked that Katie is gone because she was so resilient and so strong”.  She had gone through so much but always bounced back.  Another friend said, “she was a caring person always taking care of others”.  She was loved by so many in life and will be missed dearly on earth
