Miss Katelyn Jane Faith McDowell

January 17th 2026, peacefully at home.

Dearly loved daughter of Lee and Lindsey, much loved sister of Brittany and partner Arron, Chloe and partner Kyle and auntie of Nora and Blake.

At the family's request bright colours are to be worn.

A Service will be held in Ballyclare Methodist Church on Friday 23rd January at 12.30 p.m., followed by interment in Ballyclare Cemetery.

Family flowers only please. Donations in lieu, if desired, to N.I. Children’s Hospice online via flemingandcuthbert.co.uk or by telephone (028 93344242 Mon-Fri 9.00am-5.00pm).

Each day we look to heaven, each day we call your name. Each day just feels so different, it hasn’t been the same. Each day we always question, we often wonder why? You had to go away from us, our Angel in the sky. We keep you in our memories, since we’ve been apart, and we’ll always have a part of you locked safely within our hearts.
