Maybelline was born Sept. 29, 1931, in Georgetown, one of 17 siblings from the Neitsch family. She married Arthur Kattner Nov. 30, 1951, in Georgetown.

Maybelline was a very faithful person living out the principles of her Christian faith. She was a lifelong member at St. John’s Lutheran Church.

She worked as a chief switchboard operator for 25 years at Southwestern Bell Telephone Company in Taylor. After retirement she continued working with her husband and family at Kattner’s Conoco for an amazing 52 years.

Maybelline was a very kind, caring, hardworking and giving person who always put the needs of her family and friends before her own. She was a strong woman who faced every challenge in her life with courage and dignity. She was a woman of strong will and she always instilled in us the importance of family, hard work and always doing what is right and expected.

She was always there, whether we needed a helping hand, a shoulder to cry on or a nice home cooked hot meal. Maybelline lived a well lived life of 92 years and will be dearly missed by all.

She is preceded in death by her husband and youngest son, Michael; and two great granddaughters. Maybelline is survived by her two sons, David and Ronnie; two loving granddaughters, Deidra and Danielle; and four precious great-grandsons, Braylon, Rowan, Layton and Asher.

There will be an open visitation Thursday, Jan. 18, at Condra Funeral Home. A funeral sevice will be held Friday, Jan. 19, at 2 p.m. at St. John Lutheran Church in Thrall, with burial following at Taylor City Cemetery.
