Katrina Louise Hoots

Our Savior Jesus Christ has destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel. Let us remember with thanksgiving what God has done through His servant, Katrina.

Katrina Louise Hoots was given life by her Creator and was born on March 7, 1989, the child of Gary and Denise Boone. On April 3, 2016, she received the gift of Holy Baptism and became a child of God. On May 15, 2016, she publicly confessed her faith and was confirmed. She received the precious gift of the Lord’s life-giving body and blood. On June 4, 2016, she received the gift of a beloved companion in her spouse, Michael Hoots. She was blessed with the gift of children: Nykylis (15), Chevy (13) and Carsyn (11). Her passion for children guided her to care for numerous foster children: Audrey, Brooklyn, Mickey, Phaedra, Lyrik and Zaidyn. God blessed Katrina’s life with many special people as she served God in her vocations at home, church, work and in the community. Finally, on July 1, 2022, God blessed Katrina with a holy death and took her home to rest in the arms of Jesus to await the resurrection of the dead at the age of 33.
