Kathie J. Rohrs

On March 1st, 2025, our mother was reunited with her beloved husband in heaven. They walked hand-in-hand among the awe-inspiring forests and streams while joyfully reuniting with all of their loved ones. She was born Kathie Janine Theurer on June 25, 1954, at Nathan Littauer Hospital to Lillian and Walter “Bud” Theurer. Her life milestones were deeply rooted in Fulton County; a graduate of Johnstown High School (1972), a RN degree from the Fulton-Montgomery Nursing School (1988), and a long-time illustrious career at Nathan Littauer Hospital and Fulton Montgomery Community College (1988-2018). At NLH, Kathie’s breadth of nursing expertise was built by working in numerous departments including maternity, pediatrics, and MedSurg. She spent a large portion of her career in the ICU before following in her mother’s footsteps and becoming a nursing supervisor. Kathie was a firm believer in the power of education and the importance of obtaining the highest degree possible. She proudly obtained her Bachelors and Masters of Nursing which then opened the doors for her working within the NLH Education Department and the FMCC Nursing Program as a clinical instructor. The apex of her nursing career was when she received her Certified Diabetes Educator accreditation through the American Diabetes Association— an honor that brought NLH recognition by the government. Although she was a career woman, family came first. She married the love of her life, Christian Michael Rohrs, on a snowy day in March 1981. She was never more fulfilled and delighted raising her three children: Sarah, Christian, and Mackensie. You could find mom on the sidelines of a field hockey field, softball diamond, tennis court, or hovering behind them when they were finishing their homework. Later in life, she was bestowed the eminent title “Mimi Kath” by her grandchildren Abi, Adam, and Mason, whom she spoiled rotten. The family would like to especially thank Dr. Rufus Collea and NY Oncology Hematology. Because of their medical expertise, Kathie was afforded over 20 years of cherished memories, laughter, and grandkids. Kathie left behind many loved ones including her siblings, Lawrence “Larry” Theurer, Elaine Warner, Walter “Jake” Theurer, and Rebecca (John)Bacon, dearest sister-in-law, Suzanne Palumbo, brother-in-law, Rick (Linda) Rohrs, sons-in-law, Tim Chapp, Tristan Turk, and Jake Greene, and many nieces and nephews for whom she cared very deeply. She also leaves behind countless lifelong friends and close coworkers. In addition to her husband, she was also joyfully reunited in heaven with her mother, father, stepfather, Burlin Argotsinger, niece, Anne Bacon, brothers-in-law, Stephen Palumbo and Mason Warner, and an overabundance of pet dogs and cats that she treated like her children. Calling hours will be held on Saturday, March 8, 2025, from noon - 2pm at the Robert M. Halgas Funeral Home, Inc. 111 County Highway 106 (Corner of Route 29 & Black Street), Johnstown, NY. The FulMont Nurses Honor Guard will conduct a service at 1:45 pm. A funeral service will follow at 2pm at the funeral home with Rev. Dr. R.W. Williams officiating.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Fulmont Community Action Agency (PO Box 835 Fonda, NY 12068) whose primary goal is to help improve the lives of the socially and economically disadvantaged. UPDATE SPRING BURIAL INFORMATION: Final burial will be held Saturday, May 3, 2025 at 1 p.m. at Evergreen Cemetery, Fonda.
