Chris, Bob, and Families,
What a sad loss! I will always remember Kathy as this vivacious, happy, enthusiastic girl with that big smile on her face. Recall talking to her can’t remember when or where , but she had a baby on her hip and she was just so happy and so full of life. We grieve with you in your great loss.

My heart goes out to her entire family, she brought a lot of smiles and fond memories to the Health Department when she worked here, always lending a helping hand and took time to chat about her children and grandchildren. A smile always had. God bless may she be at peace.
