Kathleen Gute

Kathleen Corsbie (McGlathery) Gute entered into the presence of her Lord on December 15, 2015. Born August 26, 1923 in Decatur, Alabama to Roy and Kathleen McGlathery, she is survived by her husband Wayne Gute,
daughters Esther (David) Claus and Becky Gute, sons Daniel (Diann) Gute and David Gute; 8 grandchildren and 6 great-grand children.

She is preceded in death by her parents and brothers, Wayland McGlathery and Munsey McGlathery.

Kitty attended Wheaton College (IL), Baylor Hospital School of Nursing (TX), and Southeastern Bible College (AL). She also served one year in the Army Nurse Corps and was honorably discharged.

Kitty and Wayne met in Dallas and courted while preparing for missionary service at Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) in Norman, Oklahoma during the summer of 1950. They were married in Guatemala on July 30, 1951.
Together they served at CAM International (Camino Global) as missionaries to the Mam Indians of northwest Guatemala for 38 years. Kitty ran an outpatient clinic diagnosing and treating common diseases and preforming "painless"
dental extractions. She also taught health promoters to pull teeth and deliver basic medical care to remote villages. . In later years she was very involved in promoting and supporting the ministry of Bible classes in the public schools of Huehuetenango, a work that continues. In 1989, they returned to Decatur, Alabama and served an additional six years as mission representatives in the southeastern USA. Since 2000, they have resided at Go Ye Village in Tahlequah, Oklahoma.

Kitty was devoted to her husband and children - her life work in four volumes: Esther, Daniel, Becky and David-as Wayne so fondly refers to it.

She loved people and was the happiest when serving them. She invested in lives through encouragement and mentoring. Their home was always open to whoever came through.
She was renowned for her cinnamon rolls, waffle suppers and warm hospitality. Kitty was a woman of prayer and a lover of God's Word with a bold testimony for her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
