Kate Boden (nee) Karen Haas passed away peacefully at home on Monday, November 17 at the age of 69. She was born in Wiesbaden, Germany on May 1, 1956. She is predeceased by her parents Richard Jerome Haas and Mary “Betty” Warren Haas; brothers Michael Steven Haas, Richard Jerome Haas II, and sister Terry Lynn Fuentes. Survived by her loving ex-husband of 46 years, Keith Boden; her sons Eliot (Caroline) Boden and Graham (Sachiho) Boden; sister Barbara Gale (Arthur) House; and stepmother Adele “Lella” Haas. Lovingly remembered by close family friends Jay Perry, Giuliano Della Vecchia and all who knew her.

Kate was a perpetual learner and traveler. She was happiest taking nature photos, playing piano, solving crossword puzzles, listening to books on tape, and doing trivia with family. We are left with many wonderful memories of time spent together.

Memorial to be scheduled in May 2026. Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to the Missouri Botanical Garden or the World Bird Sanctuary.
