Kathryn "Casey" Elizabeth Biggs, 90, of Bay City, cherished daughter of Milton and Olga Conring, was born in San Antonio, Texas on April 17th, 1924 and went to be with the Lord on November 9th, 2014. Today we rejoice in the knowledge that she has passed the barrier of time as we know it and is forever at home with the Savior she faithfully served.
Surviving along with her husband of 65 years Robert Biggs are daughter Elizabeth "Debbie" (Michael) Coppock, grandsons Travis (Pamela) and Taylor Coppock, as well as many cousins. Preceding her in death was son John Milton. Kathryn also maintained close ties with her husband's family in Mississippi.
Loving wife to husband Robert, Kathyrn was a devout member of the First United Methodist Church. After retirement the two enjoyed traveling around North America visiting such places as Boston, Alaska, Vancouver, San Francisco, and Washington D.C.
Kathryn was a 1944 graduate of Rice University and a beloved reading teacher at Bay City Junior High for over 20 years. She enjoyed hearing from her former students who would tell her that she encouraged their education.
Throughout her life, even while teaching, she was an active volunteer in Bay City at the Public Library. Her community service continued as a member of the Pilot Club and Delta Kappa Gamma in Bay City.
She is remembered for her selfless dedication to her friends and family. Even while caring for her mother and father she continued her volunteer service for many years as a Pink Lady at the Matagorda County Regional Hospital. She was lovingly active in her grandsons lives, and also loved her cat Callie and the Houston Astros.
