Kathy had a natural gift for connecting with others. Whether she was working in credit analysis, retail, or volunteering at church, she had a welcoming spirit. Her first and most important friendship was with her Savior, Jesus, and His love shone through to everyone she met. She lived a life of service and generosity and she loved volunteering at church with Vacation Bible School, choir, and in various other roles. She was a generous and devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother and her deep impact of love and faith will leave a lasting legacy for generations to come.
