Katherine was born in Norton, Virginia, to Ervin and Betty Johnson, but she lived in Wise, Virginia, for most of her life, where she retired from Wallens Ridge State Prison as an administrative assistant.

Katherine was a dedicated Christian in whom others saw Christ. She was a member at Grace Meadows Church in Jonesborough.
In addition to her parents, Katherine is preceded in death by her uncle, Bennie Johnson; sister, Peggy Johnson; a beloved miscarried child.
Those left to cherish Katherine's memory include her loving husband, Ronnie Bowen; children, Kristy (Mike) Sims, Matthew (Bethany) Carter; step-children, Chris (Dawn) Bowen, Becky (Gary) Collier; grandchildren, Hope and Anna Carter, Rosalie and Stayce; sisters, Mary (Gene) Brooks, Becky (Dean) Shelton; brother, Jent (Mary) Vanover; multiple nieces and nephews, step-grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
