It is with a heavy heart that we learned of the passing of a remarkable woman, Kathi Wall. https://www.augustacolonialtheater.com/kathis-quest-for-the-augusta-colonial-theater.html
Kathleen Ann Rogers Wall was born December 2, 1943, and passed away June 6, 2026, leaving behind a life so generously and purposefully lived that her gifts will continue to reverberate in the lives that she impacted for generations.
She was a nurse, an educator, an advocate, a social worker, a leader, an executive, a conservationist, a scientist, a chef, a craftsperson, a grant writer, a gardener, a writer, and an artist. A woman whose insatiable curiosity about the world was matched only by her determination to make it better.
She was also a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a colleague, and friend and will be dearly missed by so many. One of Kathi's many passions in recent years has been the restoration and reopening of the Augusta Colonial Theater. She served tirelessly as our Executive Director then Board Member and wanted nothing more than to see the project come to completion, to bring the arts to Downtown Augusta and the greater Capital Region.
Per her wishes, her family has set up a fund called Kathi's Quest for the Augusta Colonial Theater and we've worked with them to create a space for the community to learn more about her remarkable life and contributions to our cause, the community, and beyond. Please take a moment to visit this page, share a memory, and consider making a donation to the cause that was so very near and dear to her heart.
