Katherine L. ‘Katie’ Haines, 34, of Mt. Pleasant, Pa. died Wednesday, November 30, 2016.

She was born on November 15, 1982, in Greensburg, a daughter of Charles E. (Christine) Haines, Jr. of Isabella, and Deborah J. (Dean Erdner) Hanson Haines of Mt. Pleasant.

She was a member of Calvary Chapel in Fredericktown.

She was a graduate of Hempfield Area High School and earned a bachelor’s degree in Equine Management from Bethany College.

She was active with the Western Pa. Corgi Meetup.

Katie loved horses, dogs, and cats, especially her Corgi, Mason and cat Yeti.

Katie enjoyed cooking and baking. She was well-known and loved for her Black Friday potato soup and she made the best pie crust. She also enjoyed numerous arts, crafts and hobbies including quilting, crocheting, painting and origami.

She had eclectic taste in music, particularly enjoying live concerts, from classical to country. She had a fantastic sense of humor.

Her favorite movie, even as a child, was White Christmas, in no small part because of its portrayal of the close relationship between the Haines sisters.

In addition to her parents, she is survived by a sister, Sarah E. (Paul) Harvey, of Smithton.

Family and friends will be received from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at the BARNHART FUNERAL HOME, 505 E. Pittsburgh St., Greensburg.
