Kathy Bundy-Pittelkow, age 64, of Dowling, lost her courageous battle with pancreatic cancer on May 4, 2020. She passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her loving children and her YaYa Sisters. Kathy was a fighter and she fought so hard to stay here. She was able to see the birth of her last grandchild and also to see her own daughter graduate from nursing school. Kathy was born in Battle Creek on August 7, 1955 to Deo Bundy and Marilyn Belden. She grew up in Urbandale and surrounding areas. She was involved in 4H and loved riding horses. Kathy graduated from Hastings High School in 1973. After that she took her passion for helping people and went on to nursing school, graduating in 1981. She was employed in the Intensive Care Unit at Bronson Battle Creek for almost 40 years. She was an amazing nurse and mentor to so many. She may have also been sent to Obedience Training to work on her eye rolling which was noticed by more than one supervisor! She always put her patients first and would do whatever she could to help them and their families while they were in her care. Kathy had a huge heart and an infectious laugh! She was truly one of a kind! She would do anything for anybody. She loved spending time with her children and grandchildren who affectionately called her “Bama.” She was always up for an adventure and loved traveling. Some of her favorite trips were to Italy, Ireland, Costa Rica and Mexico. Most recently she was able to have one last amazing trip to Florida with her best friends, the Yayas. She looked forward to summer vacation Up North with her family every year and several trips each year with her YaYas. Her favorite places to be were on the beach, kayaking down the river, riding her Harley or enjoying a beverage on a patio! Kathy was preceded in death by her dad, Deo Bundy, her mom, Marilyn Belden. She is survived by her son, Troy Pittelkow, of Hastings; daughters, Lindsey (Sean) Schafer of St. Johns, and Lacy (Josh) Boulter of Hastings; her eight grandchildren whom she loved dearly, Kierstin, Brody, Sam, Emma, Evan, Theodore, Reid and Vivian; her brother, Deo (Bridgett) Bundy of Stafford, VA; her YaYa sisters, Lori, Leighsa, Cheri, Barbi, Jan, Brenda, Bev, Cindy and Linda. She also has several friends, cousins, nieces and nephews that will miss her. A Celebration of Life for this amazing woman will be planned when we are allowed to gather again. She would want us to gather in the warm sun with a cold beverage!
