Kalas Funeral Home & Crematory

Kathleen A. Overton (nee Freeman), age 60 of Arnold MD, was welcomed in Heaven Thursday April 2, 2020, after an 11-year battle with cancer.  She passed while at her home with her loving family. 
Kathleen was a follower of Jesus Christ, and she portrayed His perfect love to everyone she met.  Her loving spirit and gentle demeanor brought hope and joy to friends and strangers alike. We can rejoice in knowing that she is healthy and thriving in her eternal home.
Born in Nampa, ID, she was the daughter of the late Judy Kirschner of Portland, OR; William Freeman, and stepmother Connie Freeman (nee Whittet) of Nampa, ID. 
In addition to her beloved husband Mark of 27 years, Kathleen is survived by her devoted children: Janice K. Whitson (nee Kegley) of Taos, NM, Elizabethe Overton & Matthew Overton of Arnold MD, and grandchildren Lucas Whitson & Lara Whitson. Her treasured siblings are Todd Freeman of Portland, OR, Jenifer King (nee Freeman) of Warr Acres, OK, Sarah King (nee Freeman) of Midland, MI, and Megan Kennedy (nee Freeman) of Nampa, ID.  Kathleen is loved by many nieces & nephews. 
Kathleen was an active member of the Broadneck Evangelical Presbyterian (BEP) church in Arnold, MD, and faithfully volunteered there as a nursery care giver, office assistant, event planner, Sunday School Teacher and organizer of the needlecraft group which met there on a monthly basis until her illness. She also served on the annual Winter Relief leadership team at BEP, a program in which churches provide temporary housing for homeless people during the winter months.  Kathleen was a regular participant in the Women’s Ministry Bible Studies at BEP. 
A key highlight in her spiritual life, was spending two years with her husband as residents of Bethlehem, the place of Christs’ birth. During that time, Kathleen worked as an executive assistant at the Institute of Holy Land Studies, and built impactful relationships with a group of De La Salle Brothers.  While her attractive personality alone captured the Brothers hearts, Kathleen’s creative cooking skills iced the cake.  The Overton’s adventures while living in the Holy Land, changed Kathleen’s life, and many years later, she continued to tell of how she saw God’s Word come to life while there. 
A gifted painter, seamstress, organizer, and photographer, Kathleen’s talents were not limited to the arts.  She adored nature, gardening and combing beaches for ocean treasures.  She thrived on loving people and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with them.  She always seemed to find strangers with whom she would engage in heartfelt conversations, and leave them smiling. But most of all, Kathleen adored her children and considered them to be God’s greatest blessing to her life.  Her amazing spirit lives on now through Janice, Elizabethe & Matthew and the generations that follow. 
Friends and family will be invited to a continued celebration of Kathleen’s life, at a later date.

Patricia Ellen Shankle (76), beloved wife of Donald Shankle, a Grand Lady who was my confidant, my “go to Gal”, my best friend and companion, my everything; she always had great advice on any topic making certain I heard it . . . no matter if I wanted to hear it or not.  She was a fighter, a lover, always ready for a good glass of wine and a lively conversation. She was always fair to everyone, Her Yes was yes, and no was no! We tripped the life fantastic in marriage for 29+ years before, by her side while holding her hand on the morning of March 28, 2020, she breathed her last, passing to see our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Pat is survived by her husband Don, two children and three stepchildren,  Robert (Nancy) Richcreek, Jr. , Jennifer (Lonnie) Shaffer, Tom (Jennifer) Shankle, Debbie (Scott) Kedroski, and Mike Shankle- 13 grandchildren, Samantha, Jessica, Kyle, Cody, Tom Jr., Grace, Hope, Justin, Alec, Joey, Gene, Matt, and Ashlyn -and 1 great-grandchild, Kora.  Pat grew up in Norfolk, and was a 1960 Graduate of Petersburg High School in Virginia and subsequently attended the Temple School of Business in Washington Dc.   She was a long time resident of Anne Arundel County for over 55 years. 

As a successful real estate agent for over 25 years, Pat took a short hiatus to operate a small business (Pat was a breast cancer survivor), “A Special Touch,” for 5 years, aiding women to regain their dignity during the healing process. The desire to help women was so powerful it led her to testify before the Maryland House of Delegates encouraging representatives of the need to for insurance companies to cover products like mastectomy prosthetics for women, wigs and accessories, which are essential  in the healing process.  She fought the Good Fight. 

When she wasn’t busy working, you could find her spending quality time with family, which was precious to her.  A favorite getaway was an excursion to the Eastern Shore to enjoy a good cocktail and crabs overlooking the water at one of her favorite restaurants; or playing video poker at the American Legion.  For longer stints of relaxation, Pat enjoyed cruising the seas with family and friends to beautiful beaches in the Caribbean or visiting her favorite place, Aruba.  Pat was called wife, honey, momma, nanny, friend, sister, and daughter by all who loved her. She was cherished by all and will be sorely missed. 

Her Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date and time so all that loved her can attend.
