Katherine Charlene (Hartley) Fincher

On Monday April 1, 2019, Katherine Charlene Fincher left to meet her Lord and Savior.

  She is preceded by her Husband Arvel L. Fincher, parents Charles and Blanche Hartley (Blackwell), Shirley Hartley (sister).

Survived by Darrell Jay Fincher (Son), Grandchildren: Jessica (Donald) Baker, Jonathon (Kristy) Fincher, Jacob Fincher, and Joseph Fincher.  Great Grandchildren: Savannah Brown, Shaun Brown, Selene Brown, and Eliana Fincher.  Siblings: Harrell (Barbara) Hartley, Thelma Ruth Altman (Hartley), and Clyde Hartley.

Katherine grew up in the North Georgia, Chattanooga area and helped her husband Arvel start and maintain multiple businesses.  Katherine worked tirelessly and was very successful in the retail industry, working for Miller Brother’s for several years which eventually became Hess’s.  During the 1980’s Katherine transitioned to Parisian department store which became Profit’s and later Belk.  She was highly successful in the home goods department of those stores but was never afraid to work where she was needed.  She won many awards and was recognized multiple times by those companies as a top seller nationwide.  She always worked hard to make sure that her family never went without and was always in a good spirit.  Her work ethic was beyond reproach and her genuinely courteous attitude was what made her so successful.  Katherine’s memory will linger eternally with her family.
