After graduating from Enid High School in 1929, Katherine completed her education at Enid Business College. She married Ray Langford in 1933, and they raised two daughters, Shirley and Mary Jo. Katherine was a homemaker before working as the secretary at First Presbyterian Church in Enid, where she and Ray were life-long members. Katherine led an active and fulfilling life, and enjoyed many hobbies and activities through the years, crafting, gardening, walking her dogs, and hosting family gatherings. She exercised and participated in water aerobics at the YMCA for 35 years, and enjoyed visiting with friends, including long-time neighbor and friend Jane Hovey, as well as her large family. After living in Enid for 95 years, Katherine moved to Fort Worth, Texas, to be close to her daughter and grandchildren. Katherine was preceded in death by her parents, William and Ella May Fry; husband, Ray Langford; daughter and son-in-law, Shirley and James Sturdevant; and five of her siblings, Eldon Fry, Harry Fry, Edna May Robinson, Paul Fry, and Margaret Parker.

Shaunty; and five grandchildren and spouses who adored her, Kathy and Keith Lorenzen, Shari and Ron Moore, Susan and Larry Cline, Tom and Kathy Sturdevant, and David and Kari Sturdevant.
