Kathy Lish Stubbs

On Wednesday, February 25, 2026 | lost my best friend, my mom, Nora Kathryn "Kathy" (Lish Randolph) Stubbs. She died at home in Moscow, Idaho where she lived with me, my husband and son since Dad passed away in 2018.

Mom was born November 5 , 1947 in Pocatello, Idaho to Cecil "Bud" Allen and Theda Rose (Reese) Lish. She was the oldest of 4 children. The family lived in several places around the Pocatello area. She went to Blackfoot High School up to her senior year when she transferred to Marsh Valley High School, because the family was moving to Arimo, where she graduated in 1966. She then attended Idaho State University.

Mom married my father Robert "Bob" Randolph in 1969. Dad had 2 children, Terry and Randy, at that time. In 1971 Bob and Kathy had a daughter Wilma "Willie." In April 1972 Dad passed away from cancer. In 1974 Mom married Paul Stubbs. They did not have any children together.

She enjoyed sewing, reading, bowling and traveling. We had fun going to concerts over the years and traveling to Women's National Bowling Tournaments around the country & just plain spending time together.

She was preceded in death by both her husband's Bob Randolph and Paul Stubbs, parents Bud & Theda Lish, brother Kent Lish, nephew Heath Lish, son Dirk Stubbs, and many other family-grandparents, aunts, uncles & cousins.

She is survived by her daughter Willlie (Randolph) & Brandon Summers, son Kim Stubbs, daughter Cheri (Stubbs) Bathurst, son Steve & Lynn Sherman, daughter Terry Randolph, son Robert Randolph, grandsons Kaden Summers and Nicholas Sherman, granddaughters Cassi Joos, Nicole Bathurst and Chelsea (Sherman) & Jake Bewab, and several great-grandchildren, brother Mark Lish and sister Linnie (Lish Cardona) & Ed Claver, nieces Leslie (Lish) McAfee, Tisha (Cardona) Hansen and Staci (Claver) Sutherland, and nephews Morgan Lish & Kevin Claver. Also, many dearly loved family & friends too numerous to mention.

We will have a memorial gathering on Saturday March 21, 2026 at 10:00a.m. at Manning-Wheatley Funeral Home, and a service will be at 11:00a.m., then graveside at Restlawn Cemetery immediately following, where she will be placed along with Dad - Paul.
