Kaitlyn Amanda Boehm Obituary (1997

Let Us Pause To Honor the Memory of Miss Kaitlyn Amanda Boehm Miss Kaitlyn Amanda Boehm , age 17, of Milton, Kentucky, entered this life on August 27, 1997 in Indianapolis, Indiana. She was the loving daughter of Paul Anthony and Lori Ann Sedam Boehm. In 2003, her family moved to Milton, Kentucky. An outgoing, creative youngster, Kaitlyn quickly bonded to her new environment and classmates at Milton Elementary School. At the start of her eighth grade year, she transferred to Shawe Memorial High School, where she held leadership roles, participated in athletics and excelled in academics. She served as a freshman class officer, earned National Junior Honor Society distinction, belonged to French Club and merited a spot on the school's academic team. True to the "green and gold," she played on both the Hilltopper junior varsity and varsity basketball teams, as well as on the softball squad. And in between her love for sports, academic achievement and socialization, she and her friends also found time last year to start their own 5-piece garage band which they tagged "The Page Left Blank." The bass guitarist for the five-member group, Kaitlyn and her fellow alternative rock bandsmen often played gigs in Trimble County, Newport and Louisville, plus at the gazebo on the Madison Riverfront. Proud of their sound and the message they hoped to convey about finding joy in life through music, they also posted several of their self-made videos on YouTube.com. Kaitlyn's other and more important loves included her parents and brother Jared, all avid supporters, as well as compassionate caregivers, of her many endeavors and health needs. Due to illness, Kaitlyn had to elect home schooling last year but had hopes of returning to Shawe Memorial to attain her high school diploma. Kaitlyn died on Monday, September 1, 2014, at 8:52 p.m. at the Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky.
