Kathryn Isabel Robinson
Cousins are many. Friends are few. What a rare delight to find both in you.
Kathryn Isabel Robinson; Our Cousin
Kathryn means Pure and Isabel means "My God is a vow". Kat Robinson is
our cousin and we take care of her.
She lived in Paramount since 1930 but gradually was unable to take care of herself. Her parents took care of Paul's parents during the depression and when Paul Senior passed on in 1970, one of his wishes was that we take care of Kathryn as she has no family, never been married, and is up in years. She was born in 1922 but swears she is only 81 :-)
She now lives in Garden Grove only a few minutes from our home and we visit her and take her places once a week! She loves movies and animals so the "show" and the zoo are favorite places.
You will find her many many places on the Liles Website but this web is devoted to her life after we moved her into an assisted care facility.
Come visit Kat in her new home and share some adventures with us.....
Kat Has A Mild Form Of Dementia Which Blocks Her Short Term Memories From Becoming Permanent
Dementia (from Latin de- "apart, away" + mens (genitive mentis) "mind") is the progressive decline in cognitive function due to damage or disease in the brain beyond what might be expected from normal aging. Although dementia is far more common in the geriatric population, it may occur in any stage of adulthood. This age cutoff is defining, as similar sets of symptoms due to organic brain dysfunction are given different names in populations younger than adulthood (see, for instance, developmental disorders). In dementia, affected areas in cognition may be memory, attention, language, and problem solving. Higher mental functions are affected first in the process. Especially in the later stages of the condition, affected persons may be disoriented in time (not knowing what day of the week, day of the month, month, or even what year it is), in place (not knowing where they are), and in person (not knowing who they are).
