Kaitlynn H. Gaddis

Kaitlynn Hope Gaddis, 18 of Dover, passed away surrounded by her family after a courageous battle with brain cancer. She was born on November 8, 1999 to Brian and Tara (Siebenaler) Gaddis. Kaitlynn was baptized at St. Casimir in Winona, confirmed at St. Rose of Lima in Lewiston and was currently a member of Holy Redeemer in Eyota. In the spring, she graduated from Dover-Eyota High School with honors. She loved spending time with friends, reading, movies, and her collection of stuffed animals, particularly her bear named 'Teddy'. One of her favorite things to do was visit zoos with her family. She had a spunky and sassy personality and giant heart that always put others first. She will be greatly missed by her parents, Brian and Tara; brother, Ethan; grandparents, Robert Siebenaler and Phil and Valencia Gaddis; aunts and uncles, Tina Donnelly, Heather (Matt) Peterson, Elden DaSilva, and Chad Wangen; and her cousins. Kaitlynn is preceded in death by her grandmother, Jean Siebenaler. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m., Wednesday, September 12, 2018 at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Eyota with Rev. Tim Biren officiating. Visitation will be from 4-7 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 11 at Hoff Funeral Home in St. Charles and one hour prior to mass on Wednesday. Private family burial will be in St. Rose of Lima Cemetery. In lieu of flowers memorials can be directed towards the Make-A-Wish-Foundation or Give Kids The World.
