Kathleen Buchholtz

Kathleen Louise Buchholtz, 74, went to her eternal home on February 26, 2025. She was born on May 27, 1950 in Jamestown, ND. She was raised in Jamestown and graduated from Jamestown High School. She attended nursing school in Bismarck, ND but returned to Jamestown.

Kathy was a devout Christian and her faith was an inspiration to her family. She appreciated the small blessings in life and especially the natural beauty of life. She always loved being outside, listening to the birds chirping, hearing the leaves rustling in the trees, and seeing the flora and fauna.

She was a voracious reader and later became a voracious listener of audiobooks; an interest she shared with her sister. She was always ready for a good game of Scrabble with her husband; especially on cold winter days.

She treasured visits from family and especially when her family from out of state visited her. She had a deep love for her family. Her husband, son and grandchildren always held a special place in her heart.

She worked for many years as a nurse at the State Hospital in Jamestown until her retirement. She formed friendships and was blessed with a special ability to genuinely care for her patients.

Kathy is survived by her loving husband of 45 years Barry Buchholtz. As well as: her son Michael Benesh and his wife, two step-sons Michael and Brian Buchholtz and their wives, her siblings Connie Klimek and Steve Leimer, and their spouses. Kathy will be greatly missed by her treasured grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held at the United Presbyterian Church in Jamestown, ND on Thursday March 6, 2025 at 11:00 a.m.
