Katrin Gabriella Wheatley Obituary
Katrin Wheatley, of Rockville, MD, passed away on Thursday, June 19, 2025 after a long valiant battle against Ovarian Cancer. She is mourned by her loving mother Gertraud de Thier, a host of relatives in Germany and friends from around the world. Katrin was born in Washington, D.C, and grew up in Bethesda, MD. After graduation from the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut with a degree in Graphic Design, she returned to Maryland. Her professional career was spent in the financial field.
She enjoyed to travel, but her great love belonged to the arts, being a talented artist herself. Visiting Renaissance fairs and Comic Conventions brought her in contact with some of the best- and well-known artists. Her collection of comic art is the envy of her numerous friends. She enjoyed her mother's history books, trips to archaeology museums in Berlin and Munich, and mountain climbing in the Alps with her uncle, and special times with aunt. Getting together with her friends in Virginia once a month was always a special treat.
A Celebration of Life will be held at Pumphrey's Colonial Funeral Home, 300 W. Montgomery Avenue, Rockville, MD on Thursday, June 26, 2025 at 12 noon. (Service livestreaming information found below) Interment will be private.
