Born in Newport News, VA, on Jul. 27, 1956, to the late Edward R. and Vera B. Roberson, she had been a Newport News resident from 1956 to 2011.
She was a very active follower of Jesus Christ and a caring and talented soul with a love for creating exquisite artwork for her loved ones.
Kathryn was preceded in death by her husband, Diamond Tripolites, a grand-child, her brother-in-law Alfred “Buck” Owens, and three nephews, Kevin, Lonnie, and Ronnie Berland.

She is also survived by four nephews, Jeffrey Scott Berland, Bernard J. Thomas III, and David J. and Jason R. Sanders.
The family would like to give a special thanks to the staff of Altmeyer Funeral Home, Davidson Funeral Home, and Wake Forest Baptist Health for all their care and support.
