With broken hearts and unimaginable sorrow, we share the devastating news that Katherine Ferruzzo, a 19-year-old camp counselor at Camp Mystic, has been confirmed among the victims tragically lost in last week’s catastrophic flooding in Central Texas.
Katherine was serving as a counselor at the beloved summer camp, where she poured her heart into guiding, inspiring, and caring for the young girls she mentored. She was known for her radiant smile, gentle spirit, and a kindness that made everyone around her feel seen and valued. Her passion for working with children and her love for the outdoors made her a perfect fit at Camp Mystic — a place she cherished deeply.
Originally from a tight-knit community, Katherine was a daughter, a sister, a friend, and a role model to many. Her loss has left an unfillable void in the hearts of her family, fellow counselors, campers, and all who had the blessing of knowing her.
As rescue and recovery efforts continue in the wake of the Central Texas flooding, the confirmation of Katherine’s passing is a heartbreaking reminder of just how fragile and precious life can be. She died in the place she loved most, doing what she loved — making a difference in the lives of others.
In this time of profound grief, we ask that you keep Katherine’s family and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. The entire Camp Mystic community mourns alongside them.
May Katherine’s beautiful spirit live on in the countless lives she touched.
Rest peacefully, sweet Katherine. You will never be forgotten.
