Kathy was a classmate of mine and also a very dear friend, went all 12 years of school together so hard to believe that she is gone so soon. Richard and family you have my sincere sympathy. And prayers go out to you.Kathy will be missed so much!!!
A truly sweet and wonderful person. Thank you Kathy Jones for loving my daughter like a second mother. You will truly be missed.
I am so sorry to hear about Kathy’s passing. We always enjoyed our time together with Dorothy and John. Kathy was very sweet and always a pleasure to visit with. Sending hugs to Richard and kids
Kathy and I started first grade together and went all the way through senior year. After graduation, we worked side by side that summer on a fuse line at Motorola in Quincy. Having a friend like Kathy they’re sure made it bearable and even fun at times. I moved away and lost touch but got to see her at a class reunion. Her enthusiasm and quick smile were such a joy. I am so very sorry for her family’s loss. I cannot be there for her service but will keep you all in my thoughts & prayers. Rest in peace, Kathy. 🙏🏻 Barbara Gooding Neill
I meant Kathy because her lovely daughter, Kendra and I worked at JC Penney.
The brief time that I had the pleasure of seeing Kathy regularly was memorable.
It was memorable because she made it that way.
Always cheery, never anything but lovely. And a clear love of her daughter.
RIP
To Kendra and Jason,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Find the light in even the hardest days.
Your Memorial Family
