Katherine Dunn Rowe, age 33 of Clermont, FL went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, January 29, 2026. 

After her brave battle with breast cancer, Katherine suddenly passed away from a pulmonary embolism caused by surgery complications. 

Katherine was born in Mount Kisco, NY on October 12, 1992 to Mary and Karl Dunn. She went to grade school at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Shrub Oak, NY, followed by Mauldin High School in Mauldin, SC, and attended college at Clemson University along with University of Central Florida for post grad. As someone that found pride in helping others, she channeled that passion to obtain her bachelors in Hospitality Management followed by her Masters in Human Resources—serving as a Human Resources Manager for the last 4 years at Westgate Resorts. 

After graduating from Clemson, she moved to Nashville, TN, after which she went on a trip to Durham, NC and met Rob Rowe on a blind date through a mutual friend. Rob moved to Nashville shortly after and they would later marry there. Life took them to Central Florida where they welcomed their first child Robby and then two years later their second child Nate. 

She was preceded in death by grandparents Kenneth Dunn and Robert & Gail Bradley. 

Survivors include her loving mother Mary, father Karl, sister Megan, grandmother Glenda; her adoring husband Rob; and her two beloved children Robby and Nate. 

A Funeral Mass will be held at 11:00AM, Monday, February 16, 2026, at Blessed Sacrament, Clermont, FL with Father Roy officiating. A reception hosted by the church will follow. Expressions of sympathy may take the form of donations to Westgate Foundation (https://www.westgatefoundation.org, foundation@wgresorts.com) in loving memory of Katherine Dunn Rowe to support Westgate Team Members and the communities they call home.
