Passed away unexpectedly yet peacefully on December 22, 2024 at age 52. Sweet daughter of Lori Hipp (nee Lochowitz). Kind and thoughtful sister of Mike (Sharon) Hipp, Steve (Emily) Hipp, and Karen (Rob) Ponne. Dear aunt of Teagan (Connor) Carlson, Jace Hipp, Fleur (Paul) Ponne, and Roos (Lucas Jorna) Ponne. Also survived by other loving family members and friends.
Preceded in death by her father, Jim Hipp; her grandparents, Felix and Jeannette Lochowitz; her aunt, Mary Jo Kumke, and her uncle, Larry Lochowitz.
Kasey will be remembered for always being ready to help others, and she was especially passionate about mentoring at-risk youth and being able to help guide them.
In Kasey’s free time, some things that she enjoyed were sports, music, traveling, and going to see movies in the theater.

We were so sorry to learn of Kacey’s death. I still recall that Jaycette meeting that you shared you were going to get a daughter. Those were very special times. We are keeping all of you in our prayers.

Kasey and I were cheerleaders, participated in different sports and other activities together in grade school and high school, and those years hold some of my most cherished memories. Kasey was not only an amazing athlete but also smart, funny, and full of that sarcastic humor that made her one of a kind. I always looked up to her—both literally and figuratively, since she was so much taller than me!
Though life took us in different directions after high school, we reconnected at a class reunion and on Facebook, and I am so grateful for those moments we shared again. My heart goes out to Kasey and all who loved and knew her. She will be missed more than words can express. Rest in peace, Kasey. 💔
Wishing Kasey’s family peace and comfort with this unimaginable loss. I worked with Kasey at Maryville for several years. I appreciated her sense of humor and we shared many laughs over the years. When she moved back to Wisconsin we kept in touch through Facebook and her social justice spirit, kind and compassionate ways always shown through. She lead by example with showing up to help those in need. I can’t begin to count the number of kids she gave her all too. I will miss her immensely. Job well done Kasey.
I am so sorry for the loss of Kasey. I was lucky enough to work with her and get to know her the last few years. She LOVED her family. She spoke about wonderful lunch dates and weekends spent with family and friends. She allows everyone to be their true self around her. She has the warmest hugs! I’m so sad she has left this earth. She will be missed.
I’m heartbroken to learn this. I was worried about Kasey after she hadn’t responded to my texts for over a month. We give each other grace in this, so I just pebbled her funny videos in case she wasn’t up for more. I know the post holidays were hard for her. My last communication with her was on 12/22….I offered to bring her soup because she said she was very sick. After not having a way to reach her or her mom…my thoughts turned morbid so I google searched her and found this. I’m so sad. Kasey was a kind and generous spirit. Her light will not be forgotten. To her mom and brothers-I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s unimaginable. I pray your many happy memories together bring you comfort in the time ahead.

Andrea, this is Lori-Kasey’s mom. Thank you for your wonderful words about Kasey. I’m so glad you pursued this site. I have tried and talked to several technicians from t-Mobil and Samsung and no one will unlock her phone so I can get to her contacts. It’s made a stressful time more stressful. It’s been a difficult month but family and friends have been very supportive. I hope you are well. I know Kasey cherished your friendship. Lori

I worked with Kasey at Maryville Academy. In our younger days, we shared a lot of laughs and good memories. Our work at Maryville was not always easy but Kasey always was patient, caring, and resilient when times got tough. Kasey was meant to work with kids and it’s clear she found her calling in life. Sending my deepest condolences to her family and friends.
I will unfortunately not be back in the Midwest until later in this month, so sadly I will be able to attend her Celebration of Life in Milwaukee today. I am still processing her passing and will be thinking of her and all who loved her today. Kasey was such a light in this world. She always brought a smile to my face. I spent many years working side by side with her, dealing with crises together, laughing at inside jokes together, sending memes back and forth, and taking one of the best road trips I’ve ever been on. She always had a kind word when I and others needed it. She was certainly a special person who I miss dearly. Sending peace and love to all those who felt the same heartache at losing this beautiful soul.
