Minnetrista - Our hearts were broken when we lost Courtney Ann McDonough on October 31, 2025. A radiant soul whose light touched everyone blessed to know her, Courtney sparkled in every room, her laughter contagious, her kindness effortless, and her creativity boundless. Courtney was a devoted wife to husband Kyle, and a loving mother to Kalin and Max, the lights of her life. The most important things to Courtney were her unwavering faith, her family, and friends - especially the sisterhood she found among close family and friends absent a biological sister. Courtney will be remembered for her steadfast faith. Her life was built on the Lord her Savior. With a heart rooted in His Word, she walked humbly with Him, finding strength, peace, and purpose in His promises. Courtney McDonough was born in Edina, Minnesota on September 9, 1970, beloved daughter of Don "Bart" and Karen Bartholomew, and was deeply loved by older brother Gregg. Courtney enjoyed countless visits and the peace she found on the family farm in Hamburg, Minnesota, as well as her many visits with Aunt Joani and family in both Colorado and Texas. Courtney graduated from the University of Wisconsin, Stout in 1993. With a lifelong passion for fashion and merchandising, her career culminated in 30 years at Wayzata Country Club. We all benefitted from her many labors of love, typically homemade and rooted in themes to love, believe, have faith and always hope. She loved sequins (sparkle was her favorite color), plaid and flags - all of which you are encouraged to wear when we gather to celebrate her remarkable spirit. Preceded in death by her beloved mother Karen, Courtney is survived by her husband Kyle; her two children, Kalin and Max; father Don Bartholomew (Sue); brother Gregg Bartholomew (Megan) and their children Gracie and Bennett. Courtney is also survived by Kyle's family, parents-in-law, Howard and Sue; brother-in-laws, Brad (Tonya) McDonough; Scott (Lisa) McDonough and children Mae, Walter and Ruby; Brian (Eva) McDonough and children Jake and Conor. A Celebration of Life will be held for Courtney at the River Valley Church Crosstown Campus, 10801 Red Cir Dr, Minnetonka, MN 55343, Saturday November 8, 2025, 9:30am visitation and 11:00am service.
