Kathryn Mary Stamey Ballew, 91, of Hickory passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 23, 2019 at Carolina Caring in Newton.
Kathryn was born in Burke County to the late Fredrick and Lilly Abee Stamey.
She married and raised her family there until moving to Catawba County with her husband in 1969. She worked various jobs throughout her life, and was noted in the community as a founding partner and operator of The Paige One restaurant.

Kathryn is also survived by her brother, James Stamey of Charlotte.
Kathryn’s family would like to give special thanks to family, friends, clergy, caregivers, neighbors and coworkers for all of your support, and especially the staff at Frye Regional Medical Center and Carolina Caring who gave such loving and gentle care to her and to us as we surrounded her with love. We will forever be grateful to you all.
