We fondly remember Kathy as we cared for her recently in cardiac rehab. It was a pleasure to get to know her. Her immense love was apparent as she spoke of her family and grandchildren. She surely will be missed.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the family in this time of great sorrow.
Kathy will be remembered as a beautiful spirit and a life well lived.
With sympathy, Pam, Lynn, and Kathleen

Dear Kurt and family,
We are heartbroken to learn of Kathy's passing. Even though we haven't been together for years, we have fond memories of Kathy's gift for starting the bonfire - fanning it with a paper plate - and telling stories around it after it began to glow. May she rest in peace, and may you all be comforted by happy memories.

I remember Kathy very well from when I worked at Christ Hospital. She was a warrior. Such a wonderful intelligent person to work-with. Her legacy will fortunately live on through her kids and grandkids.
