Karen Sue Bishop was born on September 10, 1941 at Ponca City, Oklahoma, the daughter of Mildred (Sinnett) and James "Pete" Bishop. When Kate was 7 years old, her mother died from tuberculosis. She and her two siblings, Jacque and Mike, moved to Arkansas City, Kansas to live with their grandparents, Myrtle (Swanson) and Ezra Sinnett. Kate grew up and attended school at Arkansas City where she also spent time babysitting.

One night, while out with her aunt in McPherson, Kansas, Kate met Donald Landenberger from Underwood, North Dakota and the rest was history. On May 1, 1961 Kate and Don were united in marriage at McPherson. The couple moved up to North Dakota where their first son, Terry was born. They moved back to McPherson where they were blessed with a son, Douglas, and daughter Camey. In 1974 they moved back to North Dakota and made their home on the family farm near Underwood where they raised their family. Kate cleaned at the Falkirk Mine and later had an in-home daycare.

Over the years Kate struggled with many health challenges including chronic COPD. She was often told that there wasn't anything more they could do but Kate was a fighter, always proving she could make it through. She loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She enjoyed crocheting and made many afghan blankets for family and friends. Kate was loving, kind, and thoughtful, with a sparkle in her smile. This past May, Kate and Don celebrated 60 years of marriage; and just recently Kate had a wonderful 80 ^th birthday celebration with family.
