Kathryn's obituary
In Loving Memory of Kathryn Ann Clark
March 7, 1961 – August 17, 2025
Kathryn Ann Clark was born on March 7, 1961, in Nairobi, Kenya, to Keith and Ann
Clark. Her early years were spent in Kabaitee, Kenya, until 1968, when the family
relocated to Harpenden, UK. In April 1970, they moved again—this time to Benoni,
South Africa, where Kathryn would spend much of her life.
Kathryn’s Journey through South Africa was marked by her resilience and ambition.
She lived in various cities, always seeking new opportunities and embracing the
challenges that came with them. Her final years in South Africa were spent in Cape
Town, a place she loved deeply, before she made the bold move to the United States in
1999.
Kathryn was a woman of strength, warmth, and grace. She touched many lives with
her kindness and unwavering spirit.
Kathryn is survived by

Son Nicky Shane Rautenbach and grandchildren Charlie and Carmella (Oregon)
Candice Michelle Lamprecht and grandchildren Jordan and Caedyn (South Africa)
Dale Lee Rautenbach and grandchildren Octavia and Griffin (South Africa)

Kathryn’s legacy lives on in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. Kathryn
will be remembered for her adventurous soul, her deep love for her family, and the quiet
strength she carried through life’s many transitions.
