She became proficient playing the church organ and piano. The priest in St. Francis suggested she go to Atwood, a few miles east, to study further. While there, she stayed with Mr. and Mrs. Joe Sramek.
After she returned home, Mrs. Sramek wrote to Katie about John Andrijeski, a young, handsome druggist living in Stratton, Neb., a few miles north of Atwood. A gathering of friends was arranged at the park in Wray to give the two a chance to meet. She married John J.W. Andrijeski on Nov. 8, 1927, in St. Francis. He preceded her in death March 31, 1981.
During retirement years, Katie and John enjoyed traveling around the world. After John's death, Katie continued to travel as much as possible. She visited every continent except Antarctica.
She moved to Fort Collins in 1942 from Stratton, Neb.
Katie was a member of the St. Joseph Catholic Church, St. Martha Legion of Mary and the Farm Bureau.
She is survived by three sons, John Andrijeski of Kersey, Frank Andrijeski of Reno, Nev., and Vincent Andrijeski
of Aromas, Calif.; two daughters, Clara Panella of Fort Collins and Rose Cloet of Sutton, Neb.; 21 grandchildren
and 24 great-grandchildren.
